Yoga Therapy for Anxiety workshop series

Anxiety is rampant in our world today. As many as 25% of the population will experience an anxiety disorder during their lifetime. Research has shown that yoga therapy is beneficial as a supportive therapy in treating anxiety disorders. It is cost-effective and easily accessible to most. In addition, there are no known side effects. Yoga therapy supports the physical, psychological, and emotional well-being and addresses each synchronously. Participants will develop and practice tools and strategies to positively affect anxiety.

The Yoga Therapy for Anxiety workshop for teens 16+ and adults will include an emailed intake and pre-workshop call for each participant, 4-1 ½ hour group yoga therapy sessions, and a follow-up call with each participant.

Nancy spent three years as the District Director for the Muscular Dystrophy Association before starting her first business, Dance To You. As owner, director, and primary instructor, Dance To You’s, Kids ‘N Motion program taught dance & tumbling in area preschools for 25+ years.
