GPY is a supportive community. Feeling supported, being part of a community and having a social support network is incredibly important when managing stress.
Yoga helps increase self confidence and with confidence in yourself and your ability to influence events and persevere through challenges, it’s easier to take stress in stride.
At GPY we teach vinyasa yoga which involves movement through the yoga postures combined with stretching. Stretching the muscles alone causes the body to release endorphins, neurotransmitters that when released decrease pain and increase the feeling of euphoria. These “feel good” chemicals will help assist in the decrease of chronic stress.
