Yoga for Stress Relief

Yoga is fantastic for relieving stress and creating ease in body and mind.  Some will benefit from a gentle practice and some from a physically demanding practice.  It's the release that matters -- the release of tension and old holding patterns.  Gain strength and flexibility in the process.

The addition of mindfulness meditation can be quite useful.  My philosophy on meditation comes from Jon Kabat-Zinn's book, Full Catastrophe Living.  He ran a stress reduction clinic at the University of Massachusetts Medical School for many years.
