Feeling anxious is so much a part of our daily lives that we almost forget how limiting it can be. When we worry about the future or ruminate over the past, we can be left feeling stressed, powerless and overwhelmed—and the scariest part is that we know if we continue to let anxiety and uncertainty control our lives, we’ll end up jeopardizing our health and relationships with others.

Although we can’t control external circumstances, we can control our reaction to anxiety and uncertainty in order to better manage our relationship with it. Please join Michele Lyman for a part-lecture, part-practice workshop designed to teach you yoga and mindfulness techniques that will help you restore a sense of calm in times of stress and anxiety. Michele K. Lyman helps professional women find relief from anxiety in order to live a more balanced, grounded and happier life. She is also the owner and founder of Serenity Yoga Studio in South Hadley, MA.
