Yoga For Seasonal Anxiety & Depression
March 2 @ 12:00 pm – 1:15 pm
Wintering in a cold climate is a practice, just like yoga. If you don’t pay attention, your mood can easily turn to gloom and doom, and life can start to feel untenable. Taking care of one’s self in the wintertime should be a priority, especially if you are someone that avoids being outdoors in the colder temps, despises winter, or shows symptoms of seasonal affective disorder. For these folks, yoga is a perfect way to overcome the anxiety and depression that creeps in during the cold, dark, long months.
This class is accessible to anyone over 11 in moderately good health. No yoga experience is necessary. We will be moving, to create heat from within, and breathing, to stoke that internal fire. The practice will begin and end with meditative breath-work in a restorative pose, and in between, we’ll salute the sun, soften our effort, and strengthen our mind through a flowing sequence of asanas (poses).
Join us on 3/2 at 12pm EDT online or at Yoga East in Kittery, ME.
