As much as I enjoyed the practice, I didn't think there was enough correlation between the practice and depression. Feeling a little off is different than depression.

Thank you for your comment Judy. You are absolutely correct, there is a difference between feeling a little off and depression! The idea of finding center, both physically and emotionally, relates to creating mindful awareness of mood states that change as we move through our day. The more we find a state of harmony or center, our body systems follow suit. Each time we make it to a relaxing savasana, we reinforce that state and therefore can create a pathway out of a depressed mood. Check out DrDanSiegel.com for exciting research about the idea of mindful integration.

The grief restorative actually opened me up emotionally. Definitely what I wanted/needed. This practice, especially the side planks, provided me a way to use my strength to put today into focus. Much appreciated. 

You’re welcome David Goldstein! Side planks and balance poses require our focus and bring us into the now.  I am happy you found your focus.  Namaste, Denise 

Namaste, Denise .thank you.

Great practice, Denise! I feel calm and energized after doing it! Namaste! 🥰🌼
