Hatha Yoga

Yoga with mindful movement and breathwork, encourages reconnection with your body and self. Practicing yoga helps you reclaim your sense of agency, grounding you in the present moment and fostering self-awareness, which is crucial for healing and finding peace.

The slow, deliberate movements of Yoga, paired with focused breathing techniques, activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which helps to calm the body and reduce stress. Regular practice can help to lower cortisol levels, manage anxiety, create mind-body balance and promote relaxation. 

The gentle nature of Yoga allows for the release of pent-up emotions stored in the body. Stress traumatizes our bodies physically—tight shoulders, back pain, clenched jaws. Yoga postures open up the body, stretch muscles, and release tension, which can unlock emotional blockages.

Yoga teaches mindfulness, the practice of being fully present in each moment. This mindfulness  helps us break free from the constant mental loops of everyday stress. By practicing  yoga, you can start to regain control over your thoughts and emotions, reducing the power that the anxiety holds over you.
