| Hi there,
I am would like some advice on the most appropriate yoga style for me. I have a propensity to suffer with depression and anxiety as a result of my often racing thoughts. I have practised Ashtanga for the past two years and it has been of great benefit to me. It leaves me feeling refreshed, feeling clean and full of energy. However, it can really set my mind off. I'm beginning to think that it is too rajasic for me. I would welcome some comments on other styles that I might try or even some pranayama practices that might be of benefit to me. I try to practice Yoga Nidra regularly but often find that an Ashtanga practice and yoga nidra do not mix well at the same time of day. Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks,
Namaste,
Simon |
| What you need to do is: Forget about style names. Then, try to find a really experienced teacher. And, explain him/her your situation and intention, practice what is instructed, and you shall form your own style of dealing with your own situation. If you are in Virginia, see me.
