The True Yoga studio in Daphne's virtual classes allow you to practice yoga at your convenience and in the comfort of your own home. Their classes are open to all members and new students who purchase a $30 for 30 days package.

Owner Sydney Wasdin reminds us that yoga, meditation and breathing exercises all assist in managing anxiety by stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system. “This system is responsible for the ‘rest and digest’ response within our bodies through the vagal pathway, a system of nerves connecting brain to body and organ systems. These mindful practices help us decrease the ‘fight or flight’ response during times of stress (distress) while reducing cortisol levels, restoring balance to mind and body.”

Wasdin recognizes that this is a very challenging time for everyone and in addition to yoga classes, her counseling practice is still open via telehealth. “Your health is our #1 priority, and we feel confident that keeping active in our classes will promote your progress physically, mentally and help you navigate personally in your everyday life—all the more important during this pandemic,” Wasdin says.
