• Research shows a strong relationship between depression and Alzheimer's disease. In fact, a history of major depression is a risk factor for later development of Alzheimer's disease. And those with dementia often develop symptoms of both depression and anxiety. 

• Luckily, yoga has been proven to be an effective lifestyle modality to manage depressive symptoms. Amy Weintraub, MFA, C-IAYT will talk about ways in which yoga can protect our brains and shift our moods. We will practice a number of brief and accessible yoga mood-shifters from Amy’s new card deck, Yoga for Your Mood, just released from Sounds True. No mat or previous experience required! 

• Please join us on Tuesday, September 28th for this outstanding Webinar on Yoga for Depression as Alzheimer's Prevention. It will be recorded and sent out after.
