“baby steps forward are still moving you forward”
welcome to yoga to cope. this nonprofit organization was born of two substantial, unexpected tragedies, and of all the coping skills that made life livable since.
trauma, grief, loss, depression — these heavy things affect people, so many people, in different ways, at different paces, and to different ends.
yoga-based resources, including movement, meditation, mindfulness, nutrition, non-traditional wellness practices, and more — carried me through my own traumas and ultimately made me who i am today: a happy, healthy, positive, hopeful human being who decides to look for the best in everything everyday despite living through some very dark seasons of life.
use everything offered here at yoga to cope to guide you during your own coping and wellness journey. furthermore, if you’re healthy and happy now, what a lovely time to begin to fill your wellness “toolbox.”
you aren’t alone. i hope you are able to choose to nourish the best parts of you even in these dark times. to choose to heal even if that seems out of reach. to choose happiness even if you are absolutely sad today. wellness is a practice, yoga is a practice, life is a practice; never perfect, always in progress. baby steps forward are still moving you forward. take steps today, and use the resources available here to aid you on your coping journey.
