“With mindfulness, you can establish yourself in the present in order to touch the wonders of life that are available in that moment.”- Thich Nhat Hanh

In this episode, we will discuss one depressive disorder and one anxiety disorder to give you an idea of the symptoms and criteria for diagnosis as we dive deeper into the concept of self-awareness so we can reap the treasures that life has to offer us on a daily basis. I will incorporate some of my knowledge of the effects of Yoga and include a sequence to stimulate or regulate the nervous system.

Practical episode outcomes: Explain how yoga can assist depression and anxiety, discuss factors that affect personal growth, the three levels of self-awareness, and understand and apply ways to raise self-awareness.
