Dogwood Studios Partners with Cognitive Psychology of Chapel Hill
Jessica Booth, from Cognitive Psychiatry of Chapel Hill in Chapel Hill, NC, describes people’s difficulty with Jennifer from Dogwood Studio. “A lot of times people struggle with the feeling of disconnect between the mind and body; that they might be conflicting with one another or that they have different priorities from one another. It is hard to get them in sync. Yoga is one of those aspects that promotes you being in sync with your body and mind together fulfilling one purpose.”
August at Dogwood Studio and focusing on Building Self-Compassion
We care about ourselves. We eat things that we like and do things that we enjoy. But do we take the time to cultivate a true appreciation of ourselves; to recognize that no matter the circumstance we are human and deserve our own unconditional love? We can develop understanding, support, care and comfort for ourselves with self-compassion.
