The more you commit to regular classes, the more you benefit. This results in 3 things: You get involved in your own care; you discover that your involvement gives you the power to effect change and seeing that you can effect change gives you hope. And hope itself can be healing. The long, slow stretches induce a sense of wellbeing and relaxation throughout the practice.
