Why is Gratitude SO Hard and How Gratitude Yoga Can Help You Feel Calm, Comfort & Ease

Why Gratitude?
While gratitude is often seen as a simple act, science tells us it can be challenging, especially when we’re stressed, depressed, or anxious. Yet, it’s precisely during these moments that gratitude can be most transformative. Studies in psychology and neuroscience show that cultivating gratitude helps reduce stress, improve mood, and increase overall well-being. Join us as we explore these concepts, moving beyond spiritual bypassing to embrace gratitude as a way to live with and address life’s struggles authentically.

In these turbulent times—amidst election stress, climate crises, and global conflicts—it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and disconnected. But together, with yoga we can find moments of peace, power, and presence. 

Yoga can provide a sanctuary for you to regulate your nervous system, reconnect with your innate resilience, and practice gratitude. Gratitude can be a powerful antidote to anxiety and a source of true calm. But, it takes time to cultivate—and that’s okay. Our brains aren’t naturally wired to be grateful, especially in stressful times, but by intentionally practicing gratitude, we can rewire for positivity and peace.
