Supporting Mental Wellness Through Yoga Therapy
Mental health challenges affect millions of people, influencing how they think, feel, and navigate daily life. Conditions such as anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), dissociative identity disorder (DID), schizophrenia, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can create emotional distress and disrupt overall well-being.
At Ananda Yoga Therapy, we use a therapeutic approach to yoga, combining movement, breathwork, and mindfulness to promote stability, emotional balance, and resilience. Led by certified yoga therapist Kaitlin, our tailored sessions provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space for healing and self-discovery.
Yoga Therapy for Mental Health Conditions
Anxiety and OCD
Yoga therapy helps regulate the autonomic nervous system, reducing the fight-or-flight response that triggers anxious thoughts and compulsive behaviors.
Depression and Mood Disorders
Movement and breathwork stimulate the release of endorphins and serotonin, improving mood, increasing motivation, and restoring emotional balance.
Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)
Grounding techniques in yoga therapy enhance body awareness and help individuals with DID feel more present and connected.
Schizophrenia and Psychotic Disorders
Meditation and mindful breathing have been shown to improve cognitive function and emotional regulation in individuals managing schizophrenia.
PTSD and Trauma
Trauma-sensitive yoga therapy provides a gentle approach to healing, allowing individuals to regain a sense of safety and control over their bodies.
