Gary Kraftsow – Yoga Therapy for Anxiety

Learn How to Use Yoga Therapy Principles to Transform Your Relationship With Anxiety

Yoga Therapy for Anxiety was created to equip you with practical tools for working with anxiety. This in-depth course is designed for those who seek to understand what lies behind anxiety in order to transform their relationship to it, and ultimately, transcend its impact.

While yoga is not a substitute for medical care, we can use it as a complementary resource to help manage some of the symptoms of anxiety and to enhance our well-being. During this course, you’ll learn Yoga Therapy techniques that can help you find relief in stressful and anxious situations and increase your overall vitality and self-confidence.

This course is useful for:

• Anyone who regularly experiences anxiety, including yoga beginners.
• Anyone who is close to someone who lives with anxiety.
• Yoga teachers and yoga therapists who want to learn to manage their own anxiety symptoms and gain insight and tools that can be shared with their students.

It’s also for anyone who wants to learn the yogic perspective on the inner dimensions of thought, mood, and behavior; how anxiety manifests in each of these dimensions; and specific tools for studying these levels of the mind in order to transform from svābhava, our self-concept, toward svarūpa, our highest potential.
