Through the practice of yoga and meditation we learn the art of accepting this moment and ourselves just as we are. It is a time to come to one’s yoga mat to learn to reconnect with our healthy selves. Yoga offers the opportunity to consistently practice loving kindness, restore a sense of calm and balance and encourage the development of increased confidence and self esteem as one moves through yoga poses and gentle restorative breathing.
Yoga offers a range of poses, which flow from one to the next routinely encouraging one to hold a pose to better develop the ability to tolerate stillness of mind and body.
Yoga and meditation have shown to lower blood pressure, reduce levels of cortisol and encourage relaxation, all which may aid in the reduction of anxiety and depression. Yogic breathing known as pranayama, emphasizes slow and deep abdominal breathing, which facilitates a sense of relaxation and decreases anxiety.
Susan's training combines a conscious practice of physical yoga postures, breathing exercises and relaxation techniques for integrating body, mind and spirit which conforms to the national standards of the Yoga Alliance.
