Practices used in Wake Me Up Yoga℠ sessions activate your nervous system and, over time, re-wire your brain. These yoga practices help you bring your physical, mental and emotional body into focus, overcome depression, anxiety or trauma, manage your mood and let go of what no longer serves you.
These practices influence the body and mind’s ability to heal, increase sensory and whole body awareness, and affect states of consciousness from wakefulness to sleep.
On a physical level the body gains in strength, balance and flexibility. On a breath level it gains in oxygen intake and utilization and increased lifeforce, prana, or chi. Emotional aspects come into focus and balance. The mind becomes peaceful, calm, steady and clear.
You become more awake, alert and open to who you really are — experiencing life just as it is.
