Join me online this Tuesday or Wednesday morning some great Therapeutic Yoga! Here’s what I’ve got on the menu this week:
Tues. Jan. 21st – 9:30-10:45 am
Vagus Yoga for Downregulation: Reducing Stress & Anxiety through Yoga
In this class we discuss Polyvagal Theory, the nature and process of stress and anxiety, and the role of the vagus nerve in helping to regulate and balance your nervous system, as well as your mental and physical health. Learn to understand the wisdom of your stress response, gain skills to increase your stress resiliency, and discover how to not only recognize when your sympathetic (fight or flight) system has become unnecessarily engaged, but also what techniques can help you to downregulate and get rid of these unpleasant, unwanted, and unneeded feelings.
Wed. Jan. 22nd – 9:30-10:45 am
Better Breathing Class
Breathing is one of our most essential and versatile functions in the human body. Much confusion exists over the 'right' or 'best' way to breathe, and modern breathing masters seem to all offer different and contradictory definition to what this even means. The truth is, there are hundreds of 'right' ways to breath, and only one 'wrong' way. In this class, learn the differences between belly breathing, thoracic breathing, 3 part breathing, slow breathing, fast breathing, and everything in between. Learn to determine what kind of breath pattern is most suited to which situations, and learn to recognize the only wrong way of breathing - 'paradoxical breathing.' Learn to create more space in your ribs and diaphragm for maximum oxygen flow, and learn how your core and pelvic floor can support your breathing process and bring added benefits to all of your internal organs. We take 25,000 breaths every day, and in this class we will take the time to learn the best choices for the 'how', 'when', and 'why' of choosing the breathing pattern to meet all of life's needs!
