Put Your Body in Good Hands!

Release, Relax, Unwind

Yoga is a multi-dimensional system that includes the body, the breath, personality, intellect, and emotions which are harmoniously interconnected.

PRACTICE HOLISTIC PHILOSOPHY

Yoga is the “union with” implying merging oneself with the real Self or the Divine. It is a distinct holistic philosophy that provides an efficient path toward realizing the oneness in all human beings by combining physical postures, breathing exercises, and meditation.

Good health is more than just the absence of disease. It encompasses “return to wholeness,” increasing self-awareness and empowerment as a sign of expanding personal and collective health.

“When you touch one thing with deep awareness, you touch everything.”

-Lao Tzu

Yogic Breathing Helps Improve Lung Capacity

Most people’s breathing is shallow, utilizing less than 1/3 of their lung capacity. Proper yogic breathing helps to use more of the lung capacity; deep inhalation helps energize the body, and adequate exhalation removes toxins from the body.

Breathing techniques, Pranayama (Kapalbhati and Anulom Vilom, in particular) have anti-aging properties, promote longevity, and helps with Pran Tattva. If you make yoga your life partner, you can take control of various diseases rooted in today’s lifestyles.

Slouching While Seated: An Epidemic

Slouching while seated is harmful to physical and emotional health. Poor posture can have ill effects that radiate throughout the body, causing back and neck pain, muscle fatigue, breathing limitations, arthritic joints, digestive problems, and mood disturbances. This can result in undue fatigue/discomfort that can outlast the strain that caused them. While using a computer or watching a movie, sit up straight with head aligned directly over the shoulders and hips, so eyes are on the screen.

Yoga for Cancer Patients & Survivors

Cancer patients practicing yoga therapy have discovered subtle benefits, including increased awareness of internal stillness, and a sense of unity. At the most fundamental level of consciousness, practicing yoga brings a sense of proper health and vitality that has cascading effects into other aspects of life. Recent research studies unravel yoga’s benefits in improved mood states, improved quality of life, reduction in symptoms and stress, and enhancing host factors that affect survival in cancer patients.
