Whether your mental illness is temporary or long-term, Yoga can help balance your Nervous System. In other words, Yoga can get you away from your fight or flight instinct and get you into a place of rest and relaxation. Bottom line: Self-Care is not selfish! Take time every day to check in with your Mental & Emotional Well-Being.
Why is Mental Health So Important?
Your Mental Health affects your emotions, thoughts and behaviors. In other words, it affects every aspect of your life. For instance, if you don’t have a zest for life, then life seems helpless and hopeless. How can Yoga help? Firstly, movement brings prana (life force) into your being which helps energize your body. Secondly, meditation helps to slow down your busy mind and calm your nerves. In addition, meditation gives you more clarity to make decisions that are beneficial for you, not detrimental to you. We are here to help! YogaVista.TV has created these structured Wellness Practices to help you on life’s journey. This one specifically, offers both movement and meditation practices to help bring you back into balance.
