Therapeutic Kundalini Yoga

Kundalini Yoga can be a powerful healing tool when taught with a therapeutic approach.

The focus is on breath, movement and rhythm, building vagal tone and calming the mind.

 

Transforming Anxiety – 8 week course

Anxiety is the most prevalent mental health disorder in the world today. While stress is a major contributing factor in anxiety, it can also exist alongside other conditions, such as post traumatic stress and depression.

In yoga, we believe anxiety to be a condition of low Prana, or life force. In this course we utilise the power of breath, movement and rhythm to build Prana and create vagal tone. The vagus nerve, or vagus system, is the most important nerve in the body for maintaining good mental health. This nerve reaches from the brain to the abdomen and controls the parasympathetic nervous system, or rest and digest response. It plays a vital role in bringing the body out of stress and into calm.

This eight week course aims to equip participants with tools to assist them to take control of anxiety and stress. Using breath-work, meditation and yoga sets from the Kundalini Yoga tradition, the course will provide tools to relieve the symptoms of anxiety and support you to greater mind-body balance.

You will learn

• to use breath, movement and mantra to manage anxiety
• meditation techniques to calm the mind
• simple techniques to address anxiety when it happens
• to increase vagal tone and build Prana
• to introduce simple meditation into your daily life

The course is suitable for all levels of ability and participants are encouraged to set their own pace through the exercise sets. An hour and a half is allocated for classes, however some classes will be shorter as we build our practice.

The course commences on 9 August and is held every Wednesday evening through to 27 September, starting at 6pm through to 7:30pm at Create Therapy, upstairs at 131 Keen Street Lismore (door on the left at the top of the stairs).

Exchange is $200 for the full 8 week course. Book online here or contact Heidi for alternative payment options.
