Yoga for the Blues: 3 Class Series

In this 3-session course, you will learn about yoga practices to understand, process, and lighten the darkness of “the blues”. Whether the blues is past or current, whether it is chronic depression, seasonal affective disorder, sadness or grief from loss or life changes, this class will take a deeper look at how you relate to the blues and what tools you can use for your own physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. Each class will include an introduction to yoga concepts, Q & A, flow and movement, breath practice, and yoga nidra (a guided restorative technique for deep relaxation). Everyone is welcome.

January 19  Class 1: Moving Toward Sensation: What You Resist Persists
February 12  Class 2: Compassion and Being With What Is
February 26  Class 3: Cultivating the Opposite Through Gratitude

This series meets every other Sunday, from 1-3, on Jan. 29, Feb.12 and 26. You may pre-register here.

Instructor Anna Burstein, MA and Integrated Movement Therapist, will offer techniques for daily healing, resources for inquiry, and opportunities for on-going support.
