Yogic philosophy sees anxiety as a change in energy and has a whole host of options to choose from to manage it and get into better balance. If you feel like you could use some more tools in your toolbox to manage anxiety and stress, this workshop is for you!

Our time together will begin with a short lecture on how yogic philosophy sees anxiety and the management of anxiety. We will also explore how this correlates very well with Western thought. After the discussion, we will move into the bulk of the workshop, which will be more experiential. Some of our time will be spent with practices that, when practiced consistently on the mat/cushion, will shift the energy and help manage anxiety. Other portions of the practice will offer up tools that can be used in the moment, when we are challenged by anxiety.

Quieting pranayama and kriyas (practices working on the subtle level of energy), as well as meditation, will make up the majority of the practice time. Meditation will be partially guided and include seated work as well as walking meditation. Some mindful movement at a level accessible to all attendees will be incorporated.

Handouts outlining the mat/cushion practices you could continue and the “in-the-moment” practices you may find useful will be distributed so you have something to refer to after you leave.
 All are welcome!
