GENTLE YOGA
This class is designed for beginners of all ages who desire a gentle yoga flow for stress reduction, injury rehabilitation, increased circulation, lower blood pressure, and relief from overall joint pain. Focus is on breath control while making Yoga accessible to everyone regardless of age or body type.
I particularly like to work with Beginning Yoga students and students in need of physical rehabilitation. I have extensive experience in working with individuals who have had joint replacements.
PLEASE NOTE that Yoga is not a substitute for a serious medical condition. If you have any concerns about your health please consult a medical doctor before attending any Yoga class.
Physical postures: Simple yoga postures that gently stretch and strengthen muscles, improving mobility, flexibility, respiration, circulation, digestion and elimination. These consist of both simple movements and held postures, which promote a general sense of health and well being.
Breathing techniques: Yoga breathing exercises can be practiced anywhere and at any time. Awareness of the breath is central to all forms of yoga and promotes calmness, helping to focus the mind, and relieving stress and mental fatigue.
Relaxation methods: Learning how to relax is a central element of Yoga Therapy. Relaxation is the body’s way of recharging, and helps to ease physical and mental tension. Relaxation techniques encourage us to step back and look objectively at our habitual patterns of behavior, helping us to cope better with situations that put our body and mind under strain.
Will Private Yoga Therapy Work for Me ?
Yoga Therapy can help a wide range of conditions, including arthritis, asthma, cancer, diabetes, depression, digestion issues, high blood pressure, HIV and AIDS, Low Back Pain, sports injuries and women’s health problems.
Yoga Therapy starts with very simple exercises. You can begin to practice yoga and benefit right away, even if you have never done yoga before. Commencing with stretching and breathing exercises, students gradually progress in stages to a working knowledge of yoga postures (asana's), breathing techniques (pranayama), and relaxation practices. Yoga Therapy retains the ancient principles of yoga, and works holistically at all levels of the mind and body.
Although clients may start Yoga Therapy with the specific intention of solving their health problems, they will find that they benefit also in many other ways. Indeed, Yoga Therapy is most effective when a holistic approach is adopted.
These private classes are recommended for all levels. If you have serious health issues, you may want to consult your health professional before taking Yoga Therapy.
