Unstuck: Using Mind-Body Medicine to Move Through Depression and Beyond Anxiety

This talk will present an overview of mind-body medicine and of role that yoga plays in it. The Center for Mind-Body Medicine's Unstuck model which includes self-expression (in words, drawings, and movement), meditation, guided imagery, and small group support will be presented. Studies demonstrating the efficacy of the particular techniques and of the comprehensive "Unstuck" approach will be described and participants will have a chance to do two experiential exercises which will help them appreciate the simplicity and adaptability of the approach. Specific attention will be paid to the applicability of this approach to depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress.

Free and open to the public on a space available basis.
