SHE’S READY!!!

Yoga for Relaxation: A guide to finding peace of mind through breathing exercises, restorative yoga postures, and meditation practices that can easily be incorporated into daily life.

Do you struggle with anxiety and wish there was an easy way to think less and just relax?

Are you constantly in a state of overwhelm and find it difficult to focus?

Would you like to learn healthy ways to cope with the stressors in your life?

Are you curious about yoga but not sure if you are flexible enough?

Have you heard about meditation but still unsure what it really means?

Do you wish you had the ability to take it easy and enjoy your life?

This isn’t your typical book about yoga and you won’t be practicing any fast moving postures.

You will learn how to comfortably sit, stand, and lie down in ways that totally relax your body. You will learn about the brain, and how breathing is a trigger to cause panic and anxiety, or to calm and relax.
