How is it going for you this winter? If you are on the east coast you most likely are a winter warrior, figuring out your Winter Wellness Plan. It has been no joke - truly a challenging winter wonderland outside! For most of us it really has an affect on our mind, body and spirit and can result in "Seasonal Affective Disorder" (SAD).I confess that under the covers has become more appealing than getting on my Yoga Mat. With Spring starting next Month (Thursday, March 20, 2014) let's get ready to spring it on!
Yoga is not a cure for SAD, which is a medical and chemical condition, but it can alleviate many of the physical and mental symptoms, making seasonal depression more manageable. Proper breathing (pranayama) followed by restorative postures may help people with SAD. Yoga helps you to be positive and motivated during winter. It increases your energy levels, releases endorphins and serotonin, and can decrease melatonin (which causes tiredness and mental sluggishness). Yoga eases sleeping problems, stress, anxiety and depression, as it incorporates the main drug-free treatments for these – exercise, deep breathing and relaxation techniques.
Yoga is good for both the mind and the body, being a holistic approach to SAD, anxiety or depression. It involves no drugs or medicines, and yogis can feel the physical and mental impact of yoga after just one class. Check out this episode of Yoga Flava TV and SUBSCRIBE:
