I love guiding Yoga students on a journey all their own by working one on one or in small groups to ensure each student is getting the most out of their class time.
Yoga unites the mind, body, and soul in a way that eases tension and promotes health. Regular practice improves breathing , increases endurance for other activities, and promotes mindfulness. Take a break from your day. Focus yourself and find clarity.
"What does the evidence show as far as yoga's efficacy? Our studies show that yoga is equally as beneficial - or more beneficial - than the best possible medications in alleviating traumatic stress symptoms. In the studies we did involving neuroimaging of the brain before and after regular yoga practice, we were able to show that the areas of the brain involving self-awareness get activated by doing yoga, and those are the areas that get locked out by trauma and that are needed in order to heal." -Dr Bessel van der Kolk
"Trauma is not what happens to you, it's what happens inside you as a result of what happened to you." -Gabor Mate
"The issues are in the tissues. "

With it's emphasis on breathing practices and meditation - both of which help calm and center the mind - it's hardly surprising that yoga also brings mental benefits, such as reduced anxiety and depression. What may be more surprising is that it actually makes your brain work better.
