Description

Welcome to Balancing The Mind with Laura Goellner, Yoga Therapist!


The mind can develop UnHelpful thought patterns- like looking through a dirty lens- that show the negative side of life. In Psychology these are known as "Cognitive Distortions" and they can feed into patterns of worry, anxiety, and self-doubt.


We all use these patterns at times- so it is helpful to know how to recognize when they come up! AND how to take their power away!

This creates a new layer of AWARENESS in our Yoga and Meditation Practice- that supports your Healing & Self Development.
