Our Classes - RESIDENTIAL MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT | DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY

Our Classes

Healing Yoga
Facilitated by one of our staff yoga instructors who will utilize various methods of yoga with modifications for the ability of the group members. Yoga heals by bringing your focus completely into the present moment. When you meet the present moment focusing on a pose and your breathing, the mind clears of other stimulation. Since thoughts can be negative and repetitious, we give you the tools to combat this by connecting with your present ‘self’ and the ‘self’ you'd like to become.

Wild Writing

You are given a writing prompt and encouraged to write for most of the group about whatever the prompt inspires. At the end of the group, you and the group will share the insight you’ve all gained with each other.
