Not all yoga is helpful for anxiety; at times yoga can aggravate anxiety and increase stress in the body. There are very specific ways of practicing yoga and certain yogic practices that target the symptoms of anxiety and the elevated parts of the nervous system that can truly be supportive and integrative.
I have undertaken extensive training and undergoes ongoing mentoring to ensure I am offering you the most suitable practices for anxiety. In saying this, anxiety is different for each person and part of the process is working together to test and try what works for you.
You may only want one or two sessions to create a foundation for your practice, or you may come fortnightly or monthly to compliment your yoga practice in other settings. We can design and create a home practice for you if you would like, to further support your practice in-between the Yoga for Anxiety sessions.
