Learning Lab: May 21, 2023

In this workshop, renowned Iyengar Yoga teacher Patricia Walden will teach students how their yoga practice can help lift the veil on one of the most common aging woes: depression. As we age and difficulties arise in the body, we can enter a state of depression.

Yoga has the tools to help us uplift our heart while lifting our physical thoracic cage and fostering physical and mental wellbeing.

Patricia will show what can be done to bring back a zest for life when one struggles with these feelings.

“Yoga helps us to stay seated in your truth – to stay with your heart and with that comes a resilience, an ability to withstand adversity. Yoga not only has the capacity to nourish and nurture our bodies but also yoga creates buoyancy in our heart and vibrancy in our brain.”
