My Blog this month is going to be VLOG. I will upload videos to my Instagram @catherinesullivancounselling and at the end of month I will publish them on my newly launched YouTube channel! I'm doing this to honour the completing of my 200 HR Yoga Teacher Training.
Disclaimer: If you're new to yoga or suffer from any condition that could be aggravated by practicing these poses such as high blood pressure, low blood pressure, diabetes (and more) please check with your doctor prior to doing any of these poses!
There are two types of yoga poses that are good for anxiety: 1) Inversions and 2) Grounding poses
1) Inversions are any pose where the head is below the heart. The poses I will highlight are:
- Seated Forward Fold
- Standing Forward Fold
- Downward Dog
- Legs up the Wall
2) Grounding poses are any poses where some or all of your body is touching the ground. The poses I will highlight are:
- Easy Seated Pose
- Corpse Pose or Savasana
- Mountain Pose
I hope that these poses help to bring you some symptom relief during that is often a stressful and busy month. If you struggle with significant levels of anxiety please contact me to book an appointment for counselling.
