Breaking the Stigma of Bipolar Disorder

For World Bipolar Day, Anna from HappyHeadYoga, one of our Yoga teachers, explains why it can be intimidating to reveal to loved ones that you are bipolar. Earlier this year, she “came out” as bipolar on Instagram and has since been campaigning to raise awareness of Bipolar Disorder which is often misunderstood and misdiagnosed.

In this vlog, Anna explains what being bipolar means and shares how she manages her condition with professional and family support and by a daily practice of yoga. Her experience has led her to team up with clinical psychologist, Dr. Jennifer Hudson to launch HappyHeadHealth.com today which in short is yoga + psychology for your mental health.
