Yoga offers a comprehensive approach to wellness that goes far beyond the physical postures, connecting mind, body, and spirit while creating space for self-discovery and healing. Jennifer Lynn shares her journey from corporate burnout to becoming a certified trauma-informed yoga and menopause yoga teacher, exploring how this ancient practice helps regulate the nervous system and provides tools for modern life challenges.

• Yoga means "to join" or "unite," creating a container for self-awareness that encompasses physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions
• Dynamic yoga styles (Hatha, Vinyasa, Ashtanga) build strength while passive styles (Restorative, Yin) release tension through gravity-assisted postures
• Props in restorative yoga (bolsters, blankets, blocks) support the body to meet the ground where you are, honoring injuries and individual needs
• Yoga views anxiety as upward-moving energy requiring grounding practices, while depression is addressed through energizing, heart-opening postures
• Menopause yoga incorporates women's circles, breathwork, and specific techniques to address symptoms throughout perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause
• Finding the right teacher often matters more than the specific style of yoga, with many communities offering free or donation-based classes for accessibility
