Therapeutic Yoga

Yoga is so much more than stretching. It’s about deep breathing, relaxing, and going inward, possibly discovering yourself in the process.  Research supports yoga in reducing stress, improving emotional regulation and mental clarity, and managing and preventing chronic conditions (i.e., anxiety, depression, high blood pressure, heart disease) (Clark et al., 2014; Forfylow, 2011; Javnbakht, Kenari, Ghasemi, 2009).
