Something yoga has always known, and that research now verifies, is that our experiences in life impact our body, mind, and soul. Therefore, healing needs to incorporate all three as well. Enter the power of yoga!

ISSUES IN THE TISSUES: Yoga for Stress & Anxiety

Have you bought into the idea that you’re destined to be a chronically anxious, stressed-out person? What if stress and anxiety are expected outcomes of our overworked, under slept, sensory overwhelmed, under nourished lives? And what if there are ways to bring the mind and body back into balance and enhance our sense of wellbeing?

Join Kristen Kauke, LCSW and RYT to learn how to hack stress and anxiety through the mind, body, and daily rhythms. Through lecture, yoga, and meditation, participants will leave with tools to find balance that has a profound effect on their potential to experience happiness and meaning in life.

"You’re not healing to be able to handle the stress. You’re healing to be able to handle the joy."

Today is an internationally recognized day for global mental health education, awareness and advocacy against social stigma.

Today I also remember Nikki. And next Saturday, with my family, I am joining hundreds of thousands of people across the country who are walking in the Out of the Darkness Community Walks to prevent su***de and support AFSP's mission to save lives and bring hope to those affected by su***de. I walk to remember Nikki, as well as Joey, Brennan, and in honor of many clients over the past 24 years who have lived in that space.

Our culture teaches us all too well how to punish and mistreat, as well as express the need to change and beat our bodies into submission. But what if we stopped listening to culture and started to listen to healing intelligence within?

• Calm the mind and teach it to seek joy
• Celebrate and even appreciate your body
• Nourish your gut

Through lecture, breath, yoga, and meditation, leave with tools to heal the relationship with your body.

• Practice yoga to digest and assimilate grief from the tissues.
• Experience support of community in this healing experience.

Sometime between the lockdown of COVID and early winter of 2022/2023, I lost myself. This is not the first time this has occurred in my life.
