In a U.S. News & World Report article, “Can Yoga Treat Depression?”, Jake Panasevich (@yogawithjake) shares recent research that shows the yoga practice actually does affect brain chemistry to improve mood. Our very own Patricia Walden collaborated with Dr. Chris Streeter, an associate professor of psychiatry and neurology at Boston University School of Medicine, to design a sequence for depression. Jake writes, ”If you have depression (or simply want a mood boost), some poses seem to be more effective than others, finds Iyengar yoga teacher Patricia Walden, [...] Backbends, for instance, open up the rib cage and chest, which is helpful for depression because it encourages resilience in people who tend to slouch. Passive backbends (those supported with props) and hand balances against the wall are also empowering, Walden adds. And inversions like handstands next to a wall demand focus, which is helpful for people with depression who can get caught up in ruminating thoughts. When inverted, "they can't have anything else on their minds," says Walden, who teaches in Massachusetts." To read the full article, click the link in our bio.

The heat! The energy! The music! The 3rd annual Down Under Unites Yoga Festival was an energizing and empowering weekend that brought our community together for movement and pause, as well as mediation and laughter. We welcomed the season of Spring, the season of growth and renewal, with unity and strength. There were so many special moments throughout the weekend - the dance party led by Brittney Burgess, Kate Robinson making people belly laugh on the floor, the beautiful balance of yin and yang as Claire Este McDonald and Gregor Singleton taught together, Patricia Walden bringing out our strength and willpower while also keeping us in stitches. Thank you to every student, teacher, desk manager, Seva volunteer, friend, and family member that attended 7, 8, 9 classes and the over $7500 we raised for our new Scholarship for People of Color – we'd call it a success!

“In a few weeks, I will start the second term of teaching yoga in prison. The class is at MCI Concord. MCI Concord is a medium-security men’s prison in Concord, Massachusetts. I’m told some of the men have committed serious crimes and that many will never leave the facility, but I see 9 men who show up weekly to practice and be present. Nine men who, I believe, want to make changes in their lives.” In the latest Down Under Voices blog post, Kathleen Curran-Cheng shares her experience teaching yoga in prisons for the Prison Yoga Project. Kathleen speaks to the challenge of introducing yoga to students in an environment that is very different the typical yoga studio and to an audience that is very different than the typical yoga community. Read her full blog post on the Voices page of our website (link in bio).

There are so many different wellness practices and habits to read and learn about. Meditation, journaling, Ayurvedic nutrition, essential oils, 8 hours of sleep every night, a specific amount of movement every day… the list goes on and on. It can be easy to add one of these practices to your to-do list, but the actual behavior change can be difficult. Especially when driving change on your own. Which is why we offer a 40 Days to Personal Transformation program - so that you can begin the heroic journey of personal transformation with the support of a community. The next 40 Day program begins Sunday, April 7 at 7:45–9pm in Cambridge, and continues for six Sundays after that. Learn more about the program by going to the Special Events page of our website (link in bio).

With warmer temps and longer days, you may have found yourself doing some spring cleaning around your house or apartment. Boxing up sweaters to be stored in the basement, clearing winter coats from hallway closets, or maybe even buying house plants to externalize that sense of growth and renewal that you are feeling within. Just as our external environment requires spring cleaning, so does our internal environment, specifically the digestive system. To promote balance during the transition from winter to spring, Ayurvedic nutrition actually recommends specific flavors of foods: bitter foods like arugula, asparagus, and broccoli; astringent food like apples, berries, and pomegranate; and pungent foods like ginger, black pepper, and lemon. Interested in learning more? Join Kate O’Donnell for the Guided Spring Community Cleanse in April to learn how to integrate the energizing, purifying, and bright practices of Ayurveda’s spring routines. Learn more about the cleanse by heading to the Boston Ayurveda School website (link in bio).

The Yang to Yin practice allows the practitioner to experience the totality of the yoga practice very much in the same way as the moon moves through its phases in a lunar month. From earth, because of the alignment of the sun, we see the moon grow into a thin crescent, to a full circle, to shrinking back to a thin crescent, and then vanishing from the sky for a couple of days. When we can’t see the moon in the dark sky, it is the new moon phase. During this fertile time, we set intentions for what we want to bring more attention to or what we want to shine more light on. The Yang to Yin practice includes breath-centered movement, long intense holds of yin, long luxurious supportive holds of the restorative practice, deep body healing with Yoga Nidra and a time to journal and get clarity on setting intentions for a beautiful ending to winter and a new beginning of Spring.
