For mental and emotional conditions, such as depression, anxiety and chronic stress, Restorative Therapeutics and Pranayama (traditional yogic breath work) can be powerful tools to reset the nervous system by activating the parasympathetic - or rest and digest - nervous system. This practice can transform stagnant and dull (tamasic) energy into a nourishing and balanced (sattvic) energy. Pranayamic breathing can also stimulate the vagus nerve and has been shown that it may lower the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.

Therapeutic yoga is also a wonderful tool for couples trying to conceive, particularly for women. Through supported restorative poses we can increase circulation to and nourish the thyroid gland, a very important hormone regulating gland for pregnancy, as well as the reproductive organs. A restorative practice for couples can also lower overall stress levels which has a positive impact on fertility for both parties.
