Connecting mind, body & spirit

“It absolutely calmed me down,” she recalls. “I was in a different place after I did my yoga.”

The following day Nielsen was literally in a different place: back at home. She had been discharged from the hospital fewer than 24 hours after arriving, an unusually brief stay for a patient admitted with manic symptoms. Reflecting on it, she attributes the early release, at least in part, to the therapeutic effect of her Hatha yoga regimen, the so-called “meditation in motion” she has been practicing for 27 years.

“I think that yoga is the yolk between the body, the mind, and the spirit, and I believe to have any healing, whether physical or mental, it takes all three things working together,” says Nielsen, an editor for the journal Mental Health World.

“It’s a very powerful tool, especially when I feel like I’m racing with the bipolar episodes. I really don’t know how I would have gotten through what I’ve gotten through without it,” she acknowledges. “When I found yoga I discovered a place within me that’s calm and quiet, that I carry with me wherever I am.”
