SANTA
BARBARA, Calif., April 18,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Therapist Cara Behan LMFT,
launches Yoga & Meditation Membership in effort to address
growing mental health crisis and need for accessible care in
communities across California. A
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, certified yoga teacher, and
creator of Your Self-Care Course, Behan helps clients address
symptoms of anxiety and depression, reckon with grief and loss,
overcome addiction, and identify passion and purpose. Behan has led
yoga in practices for over a decade across yoga studios,
therapeutic groups, and health care facilities including Santa
Barbara Cottage Hospital and The Mental Wellness Center. She sees
the benefits of yoga and meditation in real time as a tool for
clients to build on positive healthy habits for mental health.
"Yoga and meditation practices to help clients' gain a felt sense
of wellbeing within the body."
Research supports Behan's findings. Harvard
Medical School recently published article, Yoga for better
mental health, outlined the impact of a yoga practice on an
individual's well being: "When you do yoga, your brain cells
develop new connections, and changes occur in brain structure as
well as function, resulting in improved cognitive skills, such as
learning and memory." Not only has yoga contributed to improved
brain function, but when paired with meditative practice, mood
increases and coping tools in stressful situations become more
accessible resulting in reduced stress, anxiety, and depression in
many individuals.
Behan's membership offers support and coping skills in real
time. Classes are beginner friendly with a focus on mental and
emotional well-being. Behan describes these classes as "10-30
minutes of gentle and accessible yoga and meditation for all."
Classes are designed to engage individuals in a regular practice
while offering accessibility and flexibility to fit in our busy
everyday lives.
Monthly memberships are priced at $33 with full access to historic class libraries
and new releases monthly. "While we all know the benefits of
self-care—greater confidence and joy, stronger relationships,
enhanced productivity and communication—that doesn't mean we always
put that knowledge into practice," said Behan. "The good news is
you can take incredible care of yourself, all from the comfort of
your home. It goes beyond bubble baths and massages to creating
regular habits that support your all-around wellness."
