After yoga class I am full of positive emotions; I feel more content, I make clearer decisions, I like people more and I am more productive. My husband knows if I need to go to yoga, like I need a pill! On particularly busy days or weeks, he pushes me out the door, shoving my mat in my arms as I leave behind a Zoom-filled laptop day and a screaming baby. He reminds me that I am happier when I have been to yoga and that my happiness is infectious to our family. When I’ve been to yoga my happy toolbox (my coping resource) is full of patience, love, resilience, joy and gratitude. The science of happiness (positive psychology) has taught me that keeping my happy toolbox full can also positively affect the function of my brain, neurons and neuroplasticity.
