Self care through yoga during the staying home stuff.

Hello,

I have done a basic beginner video teaching standing poses for those that are completely new to yoga. Take a look, try it out and there will be more to come. This video is bare bone basic. no fancy yoga clothes to demonstrate that you can practice at home with what you have got.

I mention many times when I teach that so much of yoga has been studied scientifically, from the breath work techniques to the physical and the mental benefits. Yoga is not something you have to be flexible to do, you will gain it by practicing, it is not something you need to be perfect at as no pose is perfect because each body is different. All you need is yourself and space to practice in and a desire to do something good for yourself, completely.

There will be more to come on you tube, and in the near future I will begin Zoom classes and the payments will all be a set donation to the GBY3 Foundation.

Please email if you have any comments, concerns or questions.

Namaste,

Lisa

My name is Lisa Yeager, I am George’s mom and the founder of GBY3 Foundation. George’s life was an amazing adventure that became a wild roller coaster ride due to mental illness. Our family attempted to educate ourselves as much as possible in order to help and support George in his struggles. In the 18 months since his passing while grieving and planning this foundation, the one thing that stands out more than anything is the need for education among students and erasing the stigma that surrounds mental health issues. Young people need to know it is OK to ask for someone to talk to. Adults need to listen with empathy and understanding. Looking to end your life is not a solution to any problem, neither is hurting yourself. My hope is to begin a nationwide conversation that puts our young people at ease with their social emotional health and encourages them to explore resources including counseling, therapy, self help, physicians and music and art therapy as well as yoga and meditation for self care.

In years to come we hope to influence change in the healthcare system for mental health patients to meet their needs in all health arenas and help prevent homelessness. The entire health and well being of the patient must be addressed and not dictated by lack of insurance or inconsistencies in government systems and health institutions.

It’s OK to not be OK…
