 Science shows that the body and the mind are incredibly resilient and create all sorts of intricates pathways to help us survive, adapt and to heal. However without time and space to process and recover we end up layering trauma upon trauma. What ends up happening, as doctor and reseracher Bessel van der Kolk eloquent puts it is, "The Body keeps the score."

​

Be it the aches and pains of physical trauma or the overwhelming mental states of anxiety and depression, some seaons make living seem like a difficult trial.  So we try and press through the best we can, but there are times we just need a little breathing room.  Time to heal, time to think, time to recover.

​

While recovery can take many forms, many practitioners are recommending Yoga in both physical and mental health recovery.  Although yoga is an ancient and time honored practice of helping people tap into the mind and body's natural ways of healing, many people feel intimdated to step into a yoga studio or find the practices on youtube inadequate to address their needs.
