How would you recommend combining a daily yoga/exercise practice with the 21-day Yoga for Chronic Stress, Anxiety & Depression program? Physical exercise is essential for my mental health and I like to do it in the morning, but I’m also in need of this program to manage my depression. I’m wondering if I should do my physical exercise first and then the Chronic Stress program class + meditation or do them in reverse. Any suggestions welcome since time management is also an issue. Thank you!

I now start my day with yoga and a little meditation as it calms my adrenal system down (which tends to start very high making me want to charge into the day but burn out very quickly). It settles me into the day, then I take my dog out for a walk. This change has made a huge difference to managing my mental health. Good luck. 
That’s very interesting. I’m on partial medical leave due to high anxiety. I’m also the type to go full on into my day and then crash. I’ve been meditating and doing 20-30 minute yoga first thing & I also have noticed a difference with my mental health.

I would say that the solution is different for everyone, and to follow your intuition. In my experience, we feel more anxious when we get stuck making decisions, especially when the choices aren’t important enough to result in more anxiety. Letting go of everything that creates the anxiety in our bodies can feel hard and complicated, but it’s actually quite simple. I’m not saying it’s easy, but it is simple. Our minds are designed to be busy and reactive, and our job is to turn the busyness down and be more watchful so we can learn how to be less busy and reactive.
I designed a new program around these ideas - it’s called Let Go of Anxiety and Fear 21-Day Program. It’s a premium course so it’s a bit more expensive than our other content, but it’s very interactive and the first two days are free.
I hope that helps!

Hello! That is what I’m trying to find out…are the first 2 days of the program still free to try it out? I’m really interested in joining it? 
Hello! Mental health in a good state is must! If not lets bring it first.
It is known that Yoga naturally boosts positive endorphins to help cope with depression.
Depression is caused by loss of mood and is clinically very difficult to recognize. It has serious implications such as extreme suicidal tendencies or complete social isolation.
Yoga therapy combines yogic counselling with yogic practice to effectively address growing mental health issues. Yoga promotes cleansing and restoring physical and emotional wellbeing.
Yoga techniques include asanas (body poses), pranayama (breathing techniques), and meditation to remove toxins and activate the nervous system for relieving depression.
Yes, the first two days are free. When you go to the program, click on Day 1 and Day 2 and the Lessons will appear.
