Yoga
Yoga is a scientific discipline that offers practical and definitive results while addressing tension in both the body and the mind. Yoga at the workplace has become popular in many companies nationwide because of the stress reduction benefits and the low cost of implementation.
Unlike other exercise routines yoga is low impact, improves strength and flexibility, builds concentration, and reduces mental and physical stress and tension. In addition, yoga is known to eradicate fatigue and generate energy, all of which lead to increased productivity and morale. Yoga exercises are simple and can be modified for different skill levels and abilities - perfect for the office environment!
While most stress management techniques and programs just talk about how to deal with stress, my yoga programs get results. Yoga provides proven techniques that have immediate and lasting effects.
All tension, both physical and mental, is stored somewhere in the body and true stress reduction is a matter of discovering how to release that tension on both levels.
Yoga directly addresses tension in both the body and the mind. These classes remove stress from both sources since tension in one area has a direct effect on the other.
The classes offer simple, safe, and practical techniques that quickly reduce tension and stress at any time and place. The classes provide you with the following:
* Ways to identify stress signals and indicators
* Posture improvement for tension management
* Strength building for greater resistance to stress
* Techniques for the workplace designed to alleviate tension before it builds into stress
* Safe exercises (designed over 2,500 years ago) that bring more energy to the body
Yoga can be specifically adapted to many chronic diseases, and pain complaints.
Gentle Yoga focuses on enhancing the awareness and connection to the body as it moves in life. Asana (postures) are adapted to optimitize function, and mind knowledge so the individual can begin to access thier own ability to heal.
I specifically am trained in adapting postures to safely move an individual with chronic conditions, or life issues, such as Cardiac disease, Cancer, Diabetes, and Chronic Pain, thru posture, breath and relaxation and stress managment.
Private appointments are available, either at my office/home, or in your home.
Customized programs can be developed, and offered in Digital/Audio format.
It is possible that the next Buddha will not take the form of an individual. The next Buddha may take the form of a community - a community practicing understanding and loving kindness, a community practicing mindful living. This may be the most important thing we can do for the survival of the earth."
