Episode 10: Yoga as Medicine- A podcast to help with depression. 75 minutes

This podcast will use two blankets or towels. Blocks will also be helpful if you have them for ardha chandrasana/half moon pose. Let your yoga practice be a way to help with depression or seasonal affective disorder (the “winter blues”), and realize how much the body can affect the mind. Keeping the shoulders, chest and armpits open is key to staying happy!

Sarah has been creating podcast classes since 2007. Each podcast is an originally crafted yoga class taught by Sarah Baumert. There are currently over 50 episodes that range in length, level and style. Sarah's teaching is alignment based, unhurried, and rich with somatic inquiries. The cueing is effective, easy to follow, and uses visualizations of postures to allow for unexpected growth and depth. You will find live unplugged versions of her classes from yoga studios, as well as classes that are specifically produced for the podcast medium.

Find more of Sarah's teaching, including live online classes ,  self-paced courses and the Body Matter library membership.
