Yoga Therapy

"Like shock absorbers, our bodies absorb the wear and tear of emotional experience. Slowly these patterns of stress and trauma accumulate. Inevitably, if we do not become conscious of these patterns lodged in our muscles and cells, they begin to tell their tales."    -Romancing the Shadow
