Deep
Stretch &Relaxation
When
we are deeply relaxed, the body and mind are refreshed and
revitalized. This brings many benefits that are both immediate
and long lasting. Some major health benefits of regular relaxation
include:
•
Lower blood pressure
• Better sleep
• Less anxiety
• Faster healing
• Decreased use of drugs, alcohol and cigarettes
• Lower cholesterol
• Stronger immune response
Developing
principles of mindfulness as a way to become centered within
ourselves through yoga asana, relaxation, meditation and deep
yogic sleep (yoga Nidra). Relieve body stiffness through gentle
yoga poses and discover a relaxation posture that works for
you. You don't have to sit cross legged with your knees, hips
and or ankles screaming for release. (Use as many blankets,
bolsters and blocks as needed, we also have chairs available.)
GREAT
FOR EVERYONE!
Gentle/Therapeutic
Yoga
Regular yoga practice can help reduce anxiety and aid in weight
loss. Many yoga postures stimulate sluggish glands thereby
regulating the metabolisms. The deep breathing increases oxygen
in the cells leading to more fat cells burning up. A decrease
in stress levels reduces the production of cortisol thereby
reducing the fat that accumulates in our midsection.
We
will explore the use of props in order to make poses more
accessible. This is a terrific class for seniors, those recovering
from injury or illness and all beginners. Slow down, breath
and reduce stress. GREAT
CLASS FOR BEGINNERS!
