Redefining Stress

The Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy approach to living with stress

Stress is normal. We all experience it, and in many ways it's an integral part of our growth and existence. However, when, like many of us, we are overwhelmed by un-managed stress,  we begin to suffer. Our bodies have trouble digesting food, we can't sleep, we feel irritable or unmotivated, we experience chronic aches, pains, headaches, and feel robbed of our peace of mind and health. You don't have to suffer from stress related symptoms any longer! You have the power to choose how stress affects your well-being! 

Join this 6-week program, based on Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy founder Michael Lee's book, Turn Stress into Bliss, and walk away with tools to cultivate a healthier relationship with life stress! Explore how you relate to and hold onto stress through nine transformative themes, meditation, self-reflection, simple yoga, group dialogue, a supported home practice and an all day silent retreat. This program will help you connect to the innate wisdom of your body that is available to you in each moment through your own authentic experience!

-Total score out of a possible 100 ___

Results: If you scored 0 to 30, the stress in your life is high and you’re probably experiencing one or more symptoms.  If you scored 31 to 60, you could probably use more joy & direction in your life, but you may not feel "stressed-out".  If you scored 61 to 100, send me your secrets to a stress-less life!
