Relaxations Breathwork & Meditations by Yoga for Scleroderma

While our mantra at Yoga for Scleroderma is “keep those Scleroderma bodies moving, because yoga is for EVERY Scleroderma body”, part of that process is to relax the body AND the mind. Doing so is beneficial for stress management, sleep, breathing, immune support, healing, Raynaud’s, and so much more.
