Lighten Your Mood: Yoga for Seasonal Blues
with Aggie Stewart, Yoga Therapist
Wednesday 4:00-5:30 p .m.
For many of us, our mood and energy dip with the decreasing shift in light from fall to winter. The dip often creeps up on us, its impact mild at first, then gradually becoming stronger and more disruptive to daily activities and relationships with ourselves and other.
This yoga class is designed to systematically address the effects of decreasing sunlight on mood, energy, strength, stamina, focus, and concentration. Integrated yoga practices will incorporate physical movement, breathwork, sound, visualization, and guided relaxation to lift and sustain mood, bolster and improve physical conditioning, increase energy, and enhance focus and concentration.
Join us for this enlivening series and experience the transition from fall to winter lighter and brighter on all levels of your being.
