Life has become increasingly complex, stressful and insecure in many ways. Many people are suffering from anxiety, depression, chronic pain, poor sleep/insomnia and numerous other chronic health problems. Fundamentally, all of these mental or physical conditions have in common an underlying cause: dysregulation of the nervous system. More than ever, yoga and mindfulness practices can help regulate our stressed nervous systems and develop physical and emotional resilience and well-being.
