Yoga Therapy utilizes asana (postures), meditation and breath work to assist in the process of emotional issues. Current research supports the benefits of meditation and breath work in treating illnesses such as anxiety, phobias and stress. Yoga poses can be used to stimulate the nervous system, calm the nervous system and open areas in the body for emotional release. It can be weaved into traditional therapy for depression, anxiety, stress management, eating disorders and grief.
I have been a student of Anusara Yoga for over six years and I have experienced many benefits of Yoga physically, mentally and spiritually. I completed 200 hours of Yoga immersion and teacher training in 2009-2010 through Garden Street Yoga in Coeur d'Alene. I am now a registered Yoga teacher through Yoga Alliance. My hope is to share Yoga with others as another means to heal themselves.
