We conduct workshops – one for Adults and one for Teens. In each program, you will develop ways of dealing with anxiety in a holistic manner while maintaining a more balanced and calm state in your life.
Yoga for Anxiety has a four components program for teens and adults:
ANXIETY FACTS
Anxiety Disorders affect 18.1 percent of adults in the United States (approximately 40 million adults between the ages of 18 to 54) (National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). Surpassing even depression, anxiety is the most common form of mental illness in the United States. It’s estimated that approximately 10 percent of teenagers and 40 percent of adults suffer from an anxiety disorder of some kind (www.dosomething.org).
MEET CINDY BEERS
Cindy Beers, founder of Yoga for Anxiety and Red Head Yoga, creates a place for people of all ages and body types to practice yoga and meditation in a safe, inviting, and authentic environment. Students experience a class which is tailored to the students’ ability, sprinkled with compassion and a touch of laughter that leaves them feeling content and at peace. Cindy’s teachings are informed from her extensive training and life experiences. She spent 18 years in the US Armed Forces and therefore has a special understanding for teaching yoga to veterans, teens, and adults living with anxiety and trauma. Cindy’s work with anxiety culminated in her recently published books “Mindful Yoga for Teen Anxiety” and “Mindful Yoga for Adult Anxiety.”
After having experience a near death episode, Cindy views life as a gift and unabashedly lives it with zest, love and quirkiness.
