Class Theme: Relief and prevention of Depression and Anxiety

This is an active and deeply restful back-bend class that can be done in segments as quick “pick-me-ups” or in totality. The sequence uses brisk movement to flush out anxiety and stagnation combined with chest-openers to un-scaffold the shutdown emotions of the heart. The class moves from active to restful poses as it progresses to deeper openings of the chest and back body. A guided meditation on light is interspersed throughout the practice.

Regular practice of this sequence is encouraged to produce longer lasting effects against Depression and Anxiety.
