Yoga For Emotional Balance
“We have all the tools we need to find
emotional balance
right here, right now.”
While putting your foot
behind your head can be lots of fun, it does not do much good when you can’t
sleep at night or when you are stuck in a traffic jam. In this class, you will learn how to
use the body, the breath and the mind to assess your emotional state, to apply
practices that restore relaxation in the body and stability in the mind and new
ways to process negative emotional patterns.
Stress and the rapid pace of
our lives contribute to an overactive nervous system that often causes problems
from insomnia and headaches to depression and anxiety. When we get stuck in negative emotions,
the repeated experience of these patterns actually reinforces them making them
more likely to occur. Verbal
processing can strengthen the very experiences we are trying to change, and
understanding these patterns is not enough to make them change.
Including the body in
awareness of emotions assists in interrupting habit patterns and facilitates
the change process. By learning to
listen to the body and offering accepting presence, we can build new mind-body
experiences that enable us to be less reactive and more resilient.
