Winter Blues got you down?

Everyone has probably at one time or another been told to go workout if they're feeling the Winter Blues.  Working out releases endorphins that make you happy right?  Well how you choose to workout can also make a difference.  Scientists have found certain types of workouts affect the brain and nervous system differently (5 mood boosting workouts). 

The top of the list might come as no surprise... Yoga!  That's right yoga and new studies show that people who do yoga at least 3 times a week have increased levels of GABA (a neurotransmitter that may reduce anxiety).  So if you need a little pick me up during your week take a break and do some yoga stretches!
