I love teaching yoga at the Minnesota Arboretum, and last night was no exception. I had a fantastic time leading Yin Yoga and Sound Healing in the Sculpture Gardens.

Yoga is not therapy or a cure for depression. However, scientific studies continue to show that contemplative practices, such as yoga and meditation, can be as effective as medication for treating anxiety. Yoga, in its many forms, can help us redefine our experiences during difficult times.

About a year ago I started incorporating harmonium and chanting in my yoga classes. Those have become regular features at the beginning and end of my classes. Now I'm offering yoga classes with (live) sounds throughout.
