YOGA WELLNESS

Wellness yoga for the body,mind and soul.

 

Wellness yoga combines the physical aspects of yoga, along with mediation for self improvement. 

Applicable for all ages and physical ability.

​

Core Components of Yoga

• Poses: yoga poses, also called postures, are a series of movements designated to increase strength and flexibility. Poses range from lying on the floor while completely relaxed to difficult postures that may have you stretching your physical limits.

• Breathing: Controlling your breathing is an important part of yoga. In yoga, breath signifies your vital energy. Yoga teaches that controlling your breathing can help you control your body and quiet your mind.

 

Health Benefits of Yoga

• Stress reduction – with precise movements, yoga draws your focus away from your busy, chaotic day and toward calm as you move your body through poses that require balance and concentration.

• Increased fitness – As you learn and refine new poses, you may enjoy improved balance, flexibility, range of motion and strength. And this means you’re less likely to injure yourself in other physical endeavors or in your daily activities.

• Management of chronic health conditions – Yoga might help with a variety of health conditions, such as cancer, depression, pain, anxiety and insomnia, by helping with sleep problems, fatigue and mood. Yoga also can help reduce heart rate and blood pressure.

• Weight loss – If you’re overweight or have binge-eating disorder, yoga may help you make the healthy lifestyle changes necessary to gain control of your eating and drop those extra pounds.

 

While you shouldn’t expect yoga to cure you or offer 100 percent relief, it can help some health conditions when combined with standard treatment with your medical doctor. And, if you already enjoy good health, yoga can be an enjoyable supplement to your regular fitness routine.
