Yoga for Diabetes - Prevention & Improvement Strategies

With almost 12 million Canadians currently living with diabetes and steep rises in cases of all age groups including children in recent years, there is a growing and pressing need to bring awareness, education, and action into society to address this growing concern. On top of the health concerns surrounding diabetes itself, this disease is most often considered a 'gateway-disease', which can often lead to heart-disease and other system related diseases or immunity issues in the body. Many of us understand the importance of healthy eating and nutrition and (hopefully) put in efforts to make regular good choices to reduce our sugar and processed food intake and find balance with much needed vegetable options. Although diet is indeed the most important element in preventing and improving diabetes, there are MANY other ways to help using breath, movement, and stretching to help regulate your metabolism, support and repair your spleen, balance your blood sugar, and bring your neural processes into alignment with healing and rejuvenation. Prevention is always the best remedy, and this class will show you the way! If you are already living with diabetes or pre-diabetes, fear not! With the right process and effort major changes can happen and improvement and healing are possible. This class will show you some of the important elements in that healing process that are often over looked by physicians and nutritionists!

I look forward to seeing you in class!
