For those suffering from stress, anxiety, depression, work overload, post-partum, you name it, Day of Om is for you. Experience a two hour workshop filled with hope, happiness and healing and get the opportunity to learn various strategies to calm the mind and fuel the body.

"Mental illness is one of those topics that people only seem to talk about when a celebrity, public figure, etc. has committed suicide or have passed due to an overdose of a drug(s). I want to normalize these conversations and shed light to mental illness because it's real and it's becoming a bigger and bigger problem each and every day," says Angelica Lewis, founder of Curvy Chick Yoga. "Depression, anxiety, insecurity are some common mental challenges that people face in our society, and I want to help combat those issues through my private yoga practice and Day of Om workshop because I too was in that same situation. To tell everyone the truth, yoga helped save my life."

Angelica Lewis has worked with curvy women, men and children, leading 60 minute classes with an emphasis on meditation, breathing techniques, mindfulness, and self-study. She is best known for her mental health and movement workshops which shines light on issues individuals face everyday and how yoga can counteract these overwhelming mental battles.

"I'm excited to have coordinated a workshop like this because we need it!" says Lewis. "During this workshop attendees will get a chance ease the mind and fuel the body through meditation, yoga and healing circle practices. If anyone is experiencing depression, stress, anxiety, etc. I highly advise you to come to my workshop, this event will be life changing."
