Yoga and Meditation

Current research demonstrates that the practices of yoga and meditation not only providing relaxation and restoration of the mind and body, but also have the potential to offer healing for the brain and certain neurological pathways in the brain.  The Counseling Center incorporates yoga and meditation as part of a treatment plan to restore wellness.

Yoga offers breathing techniques, movement and postures to assist in restoring health and well being to mind, body and spirit.  The practice of yoga can be designed to suit the individual’s needs and capabilities.  This body centered practice can increase self awareness, improve one’s ability to stay grounded and centered, increase focus, concentration and self regulation.  Yoga has been demonstrated to have positive effects on the management of anxiety and depression. 

Yoga may be integrated into a psychotherapy session, a unique therapeutic yoga practice may be designed for a client, and occasional yoga retreats are offered.
