Nicole in Calgary: Day 7

Yesterday and today have been long full days packed full with information. Yesterday we focused on exercises and case studies. Today and tomorrow we are focusing on anxiety and depression. Our facilitator for today and tomorrow is from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She is a Yoga Therapist in the Mental Health Department at the University of Pittsburg Medical Centre. In addition she specializes in working with people who are in prison, or youth detention centres teaching Pranayam (breath exercises) and yoga. What an incredible day we had today, it is was an honour to learn from such a committed and inspiring person. She gave us a glimpse of a yoga class she would teach to her teenage clients suffering from anxiety and depression; we practised to the song Halo by Beyonce. It was so cool. Tonight is jammies and tv as we unwind from a full day.
