Mental Health Matters Series:
A Deep Dive into Yoga for Depressions 

A Deep Dive into Yoga for Depression: Exploring the Ancient Wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine to uncover ways to shift this energy.

Whether seasonal or clinical, depression can hit hard during the cold months. Conventional treatments for depression are helpful, and obviously recommended, however, if you are looking for something to supplement for your care, yoga and the ancient wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine have a lot to offer. Join me to learn about how these ancient wisdom traditions shed a light on how you might work within your body as well as your brain in order to shift patterns of thought & behavior.

We will start each class didactically, learning about the meridians and concepts that will guide our work. Then we will continue into a journaling exercise as response to a somatically emotional experience. We will bathe each class in breath work, movement as well as rest, and nourish depletion as well as shedding excess.

Sundays, January 5, 12, 19, 26 | 1:00- 2:30 PM 

4 Class Series: $120
In-person only. If you are unable to attend a session in-person, Nancy will send you a recording or a link to attend live via Zoom.

Trauma Informed Yoga Series

This four-class series focuses on mind-body awareness to build tolerance to the early signs of triggers in the body and uses somatic techniques to help steer away from overwhelm, freeze, anxiety, panic, and shut-down. Participants will also gain a better understanding the mechanics of trauma in the body.

By incorporating dynamic, somatic movement, breath work, and guided meditation, we will create a safe and supportive space that promotes emotional regulation. Particular are encouraged to explore the poses to whatever extent they feel comfortable, learning to approach each posture and sensation with curiosity, in an effort to honor individual emotional and physical needs. Multiple variations for each pose will be offered for all levels and abilities. This series does not replace the care of a licensed clinical mental health-care provider.

Led by Jasmine Hollingsworth, YACEP is an E-RYT 500 Hour Registered Yoga Teacher with additional training and certifications in yoga for children, Accessible Yoga, and Trauma-Informed Yoga. Jasmine currently works as a somatic clinician at a therapy practice with neurodivergent young adults, and is neurodivergent (Autistic & ADHD), herself! She is also pursuing degrees in clinical therapy and neuroscience.

Water Element Yin Workshop

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, winter is associated with the Water element and is seen as a time of deep rest, reflection, and restoration. Winter asks us to turn inward and focus on filling our own internal reservoirs. This slow, extended Yin practice will explore meridian theory and tap into the qualities and energies of Water. We'll honor our cyclical nature and practice the art of surrender through passive, long-held postures (3-7 min) soothing pranayama, guided meditation and an extra long savasana.

Saturday, January 11th from 3:00-4:30 pm
$40 per person
