What is an Emotional Release in Yoga?

What do you do when you have an emotional release in yoga? 

When I trained with Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy as a yoga therapist, yoga teacher and group facilitator my teacher and mentor there, Elissa Cobb explained all about how emotions get held in our bodies. In fact I trained for several years as a yoga therapist, yoga teacher and group facilitator on how to help people to release emotions that were held in the body. 

In this video I am going to talk to you about how emotions get held in the body, why emotions come out in yoga classes, what to do when emotions come out in yoga classes, what not to do when emotions come out in yoga classes and some general energy emotional maintenance that you can do so that emotions don’t start coming out at inopportune times. 

Namaste, Melissa
