Women learn balanced life skills from yoga.
One of the unspoken tenets of polite society suggests that you "hold it together": whatever problems you have bugging you, you deal with it in your own time without bothering others unnecessarily. But even the strongest among us knows what it's like to feel as if you can't hold it together any longer. So what can you do? Turn to yoga, which can teach balanced life skills.
"It's liberating," said practitioner Jen Stier, as quoted by West Hartford News. "Yoga allows people to shed layers and drop the facade that they usually walk around with every day."
Stier explained that before taking up yoga, she had been coping with an abnormal bodily response to stress. Other women from her class believe that the mind-body regimen has helped them deal with the emotions of other trials, ranging from eating disorders to job losses.
Instructor Barbara Ruzansky told the news source that the sense of community fostered by the class may be an asset to students.
Women who are interested in finding such a community could start looking at Dahn Yoga centers. They would certainly be in good company. According to a survey conducted by the Yoga Journal in 2008, more than 72 percent of yoga practitioners were female.
