Stressed out? Yoga may help.
It’s no secret that these are trying times.
Nearly 3 in 5 adults say they could have used more emotional support in the last year.1 The economy is still struggling; the pandemic is still spreading. Partisan tensions boil at an all-time high as national morale sinks to an all-time low.
Prolonged exposure to stress impacts not only your mental state but also your physical health. Thankfully, mind-body approaches such as yoga, meditation and Ayurveda help you to cope with stress and build resilience against its harmful effects.
What makes Orenda Yoga different?
Don’t let Instagram fool you: Yoga is more than just a workout. Yoga is a physical, mental and spiritual state of both stability and ease. We live in a fast-paced, competitive culture. We stay up late. We eat on-the-run. What’s more, have you ever noticed how often you’re on your way somewhere else?
Orenda Yoga helps busy people be more present. A typical group class includes slow-flow asana to get stable and settled, mindfulness and breathing techniques to stay calm and focused, and meditation to relax and remember your wellness.
The goal is to get you back in sync with your environment. People spend so much time rushing from one activity to the next. It’s actually quite challenging to simply be here, now.
