BETTER MENTAL HEALTH WITH YOGA
You can achieve better mental health with yoga. With a deep connection with rhythmic breathing and meditation yoga can bring many mental health benefits to anyone who decided to practice.

IMPROVED MOOD
Having a regular yoga practice can help improve your mood by lowering stress hormones in our bodies while at the same time increasing beneficial brain chemicals like endorphins and GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid). These feel-good chemicals help decrease anxiety and improve mood. Studies show that people who practice yoga for 45 minutes had more feel-good brain chemical activity than people who listened to relaxing music.

Dr. Corinna Keenmon, Houston Methodist's medical director of psychiatry and telepsychiatry uses the benefits of yoga to help treat her patients. She mentions that "Yoga can help lower our fight, flight or freeze response by activating our parasympathetic nervous system and lowering negative emotions like depression, anxiety and anger." Yoga can help build your mental resilience, helping you to respond vs react in stressful situations.

More Mental health facilities such as Cottages on Mountain Creek have implemented mindfulness and wellness programs to go alongside mental health treatments. The residents have yoga for 45 mins twice a week. Since they started working with Shannon of Mocha Yoga, a certified mindful resilience and trauma informed yoga teacher, the residents have shown improvement in significant areas.

Talk therapy is great, and when linked with regular yoga practice both can work as avenues for healthier self-regulations skill, social engagement skills, and overall well-being. "The evidence is showing that yoga really helps change people at every level," says Stanford University health psychologist and yoga instructor Kelly McGonigal, PhD. Yoga is the bridge between the mind, body, and soul. Yoga can help lead to better mental health and coping skills, leading to a calmer and healthier person.

Breathing Technique for Stress Management

Your breathing is a constant companion that you can use as a compass to stabilize your nervous system and improve your general well-being. Since the dawn of time, our breath has been a part of who we are and has been a tool for self-control. In fact, it is the only human act that can be done both consciously and unconsciously and doing so correctly impacts your nervous system directly. Here at www.CottagesOnMountainCreek.com we know how important breath control is to our overall wellness. Our Yoga teacher, Shannon Claxton, educates our residents on several breathing exercises to use as a tool for self-control and stress management! A favorite is Box Breathing, one benefit of box breathing is that it can help to calm the mind and keep focus. Here's an article on box breathing.

How to Box Breathe
1. Inhale
2. Exhale for a count of four.
3. Hold your breath out for a count of four.
4. Inhale for a count of four.

Harvard Medical School has some more resources for managing stress! These breathing exercises can be done with yoga or meditation practice or as a standalone tool for stress management. Including a breathing exercise in your daily routine can reduce tension brought on by stress from the day's events. Harvard Medical School specialists claim that “Your respiration quickens when you're stressed. It gives you more control over your mental state to deliberately slow your breathing." www.theemochayoga.com for more mindfulness tips and be sure to follow us on all social media and subscribe to our YouTube channel for free guided meditations search "Thee Mocha Yoga'
