How Yoga can help heal a broken heart

Sometimes it lasts in love and sometimes it hurts instead” was singing Adele, an English singer and songwriter, in 2011. She is not the first and won’t be the last to sing about the pain love can cause.

Heartbreaks can indeed have devastating effects on the mind and the body: at best you lose some self-esteem, feel less grounded, get some anxiety. At worst you fall into depression, abusing your body with alcohol, junk food and inactivity, and abusing your mind with negative thoughts about yourself, the people around you, and the Universe.

How yoga can help you overcome traumatic experience

In this essay I am going to explain how yoga can help you overcome a traumatic experience. Many people experience a traumatic situation at some point in their life. Often this is not really looked at and integrated in the biography leaving blockages and emotional wounds inside of you that don’t heal. You can move on with your life but you will never be balanced and happy. It may show in insecurities, unexplainable behaviour in some situations or health issues. You can adapt and pretend that everything is alright, but you won’t be whole until you heal that trauma. That is why I want to write about this topic.
