Yoga to Ease Anxiety
Practices and Perspectives to Help you Enjoy Life Again
|
Available from Amazon.com (in paperback and on Kindle), BarnesandNoble.com, and locally in Tucson at Modern Mystic Yoga, Yoga Oasis, Yoga Connection, and Bookmans (Grant Rd. location).
Yoga to Ease Anxiety: Practices and Perspectives to Help You Enjoy Life Again is a practical guide to changing the habits that keep those of us who suffer from anxiety trapped in self-doubt and fear. I was drawn to yoga to help manage a severe anxiety disorder and this book shares what I have learned. Every week I see students who are tormented by anxiety, stress, and tension. I wrote this book for them, because I was keeping them too long after class trying to explain all the different tools yoga has to offer! Yoga to Ease Anxiety is divided into three sections: Yoga for Relaxation, Yoga for Self-Acceptance, and Yoga for Fearlessness. Each section blends accessible techniques with timeless yoga philosophy. Every bit of it is geared toward helping you enjoy your life more! |
