Stressed? Try some Hot Yoga!

The yoga we teach here at PPY is an effective tool for stress management.

Yoga Based Stress Reduction (YBSR) utilizes a method of practice that is highly accessible, effective and potent for reducing stress, strengthening mind body connection and increasing overall joy and life purpose.

Here are several benefits of synchronized power vinyasa that can incite lower stress levels:

-Mind body connection: Linking breath to movement reduces rumination of past and anticipation of the future. It creates full moment absorption. Talk about mental and emotional freedom!

-Social cohesion and connection: Breathing and moving in synchrony with a group fosters positive feelings of connection and belonging.

-Self awareness and compassion: Practicing a mindset of kindness and compassion creates physiological shifts in stress hormones and a positive relationship to self.

-Breath control: Learning how to manage breath and strengthen its mechanics holds tremendous therapeutic benefits for the nervous system.

-Flow state: Experiencing flow state dissolves ego and a sense of separation— the ultimate reminder of how interconnected and magnificent life can be!
