We are now finding modern science to prove what the ancient yoga & mindfulness practitioners have always known….

• Mindfulness yoga is proven to balance our nervous system, returning us back to our rest & digest, or tend & befriend, versus fight, flight, or freeze.

• Yoga teaches us to breathe through unusual or uncomfortable situations, so the sympathetic nervous system does not take over with waves of panic.

• A regulated nervous system results in an improved immune system functioning.

• Mindfulness teaches us to be in the present moment versus avoid, dissociate, or check-out through unhealthy patterns.

• Mindful yoga has been proven to improve HRV (heart rate variability).

  • HRV can be used as a means to indicate how balanced one's nervous system is between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system.

• Yoga aids in creating new neuropathways, and therefore new healthy habits.

• Those with consistent mindfulness yoga practice have shown greater improvements in their PTSD symptoms, than those with only DBT.

• With consistent mindfulness yoga practice, individual's insula and medial prefrontal cortex have shown measurable development.

These are just a few of the simple examples of yoga therapy’s powerful ability to help us ditch anxieties or unhealthy patterns & find the freedom to live as your highest self.
