“You are afraid of surrender because you don't want to lose control. But you never had control; all you had was anxiety.” -Elizabeth Gilbert.
Let’s take a minute to take a deeper look at our dear friend … anxiety.
These are just a few of the symptoms of Generalized Anxiety Disorder from The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5).
How does anxiety show up for you? What do you do to help yourself manage these symptoms?
As a yoga therapist, I can help with each of these symptoms:
Muscle tension - yoga asana and movement
Impaired concentration and worry - mindfulness practices
Fatigue - guided relaxation practices and yoga nidra
Restlessness - movement to release excess energy paired with calming practices
Difficulty sleeping - breath-work and relaxation techniques
Irritability - self-soothing practices and psycho-education
This is just scratching the surface of what I offer as a yoga therapist. If you are interested in learning more in my particular offerings, especially related to mental health, please click the link below.
