Yoga for Anxiety and Depression with NeLi Martin

Yoga has some powerful techniques for affecting the nervous system in a direct way. Through Yoga Asana, Pranayama and Meditation, you can learn to re-wire your anxiety through activation of the relaxation response and re-framing of the stress response.  

During this workshop you’ll learn and practice Asana and Pranayama for calming the nervous system and activating the relaxation response deep in the body at a cellular level. Asana and Pranayama for energising the nervous and vital systems of the body. Meditation approaches to set intentions and connect to your purpose. Cultivate calm and vitalise the body and nervous system. 

NeLi Martin is a Buddhist psychologist who integrates mindfulness, yoga and dance practices into her work with people from all walks of life.
