Yoga for Depression Workshop 



 

Fall is here and the days are getting shorter.  Winter is definitely on its way.  Shorter days…less sunshine and soon even the cheeriest person may feel a little sad and lethargic.

 

Join Pam for this 2 hour workshop to experience how yoga postures and breath work can help lift your spirits. We’ll take time for a brief review of what science has discovered about depression and exercise and compare that to the ancient wisdom of yoga.

 

Students will come away with a better understanding of the causes of depression and some practical tools to address the problem. This workshop is appropriate for all levels, including new beginners.
