Feeling stressed by the holidays? You're not alone. While it's supposed to be the 'most wonderful time of the year,' it's often not for many people. The holidays can come with unrealistic expectations, additional financial obligations, and time commitments on top of an already too busy schedule. If you're feeling the pressure, this workshop is for you! It is designed to provide you with yoga tools you can use anytime and any where to help relieve the feeling of stress that comes this time of year.
In the workshop, you'll identify the stress - the who, what, where, why, and how it effects you. We'll then discuss and practice breathing and meditation techniques that have been proven to reduce your body's reaction to stress followed by standing and seated yoga poses known to reduce tension from the body. Poses will focus on gentle shoulder and hip openers ( the areas of the body most likely to hold stress and tension) you can as easily do at a wall or in a chair as on the floor. We'll also explore side bending poses to help open the rib cage so you make better use of your breath as a tool. The physical practice will end with a short sequence of restorative poses to send you off in a relaxed state of body and mind. You'll leave better informed about what causes you stress and what you can do to release it from your body, mind, and spirit so you can tap into the Joy of the Season.
