Low Lunge is both a hip opener and back bending posture, which stimulates the release of emotional blockages in the lower body and allows for energy to flow up towards the chest and upper body. It stretches the hamstrings and quads and removes tensions from the pelvic area.
Instructions:
1. From Downward Facing Dog, lift the right leg on an inhale, exhaling to step it lightly between the hands, dropping the left knee as you do so.
2. Stack the right knee over the ankle.
3. Straighten the arms and keep the spine long by lifting the chest alongside the upper thigh. Take one breath in here.
4. On an exhale, sink the hips a little further towards the back heel, taking care to keep the tailbone tucked down and abdomen in.
5. Either stay here or to go further inhale and sweep the arms up overhead with palms facing in.
6. Keeping the breath in the lower belly, take 3-4 deep rounds of breath here and on exhales send the hips a little deeper.
7. Return to downward facing dog and repeat on the opposite side
Modifications:
For knee issues, it’s advised to place a blanket or other form of support beneath the knee that’s on the mat. Also ensure that the front knee is aligned correctly over the ankle and that you don’t let the lower ribs stick out too far. Keeping the spine in line from the base of tailbone all the way to the fingertips is hugely important for all the joints engaged in this pose.

Cortisol is a hormone that’s released by the adrenal glands during times of physical and emotional stress. Its job is to increase your heart rate, blood pressure, blood sugar, and breathing rate to give you a natural energy boost to take on whatever stressor is coming your way.
This is great when we’re actually in physical danger, but not so helpful when our blood pressure rises while we’re sitting in traffic!
Luckily, breathwork can lower cortisol levels and bring balance back to the parasympathetic systems that start escalating when you’re under stress.
The next time you feel your emotions running high, take one minute to stop what you’re doing, and focus on your breath—you’ll feel a little calmer!

Any number of experiences can lead to negative emotions, but some common underlying causes include anxiety, anger, annoyance, frustration, sadness, and despair.
Emotions serve us as a source of information. Negative emotions can help us recognize harmful situations. However, unchecked negative emotions can also be harmful. For example, if anger turns into violence.
Some steps you can take to prevent a negative emotion from taking over include identifying how you feel, acknowledging your feelings, and accepting the situation, causing you distress.

If you are battling from a chronic health condition, realize there just may be hope…
Today there are many common chronic conditions such as thyroid problems, autoimmune disorders, digestive disorders, chronic fatigue, blood sugar problems, chronic pain, anxiety or depression or cardiovascular challenges. If you are feeling like you are at the end of your rope or simply don’t want to get there, then understand that there are effective options that you may not be aware of. But these options do require that you think outside the mainstream box a little.
Many sufferers of chronic conditions have been able to resolve their health challenges with a holistic approach that looks deeper into the underlying factors that brought about your condition. While prescription medication options effectively serve to address the short-term concerns many have found it in the long run to be an incomplete remedy.
Science and technology have advanced to allow physicians to understand health problems at a deeper level rather than temporarily treating the surface symptoms.
Functional medicine is a rapidly growing approach that utilizes this science and technology. It is uniquely effective at getting at the root cause of problems and helping restore health where many medicine-based approaches fall short.
Our office takes the unique approach of determining where the important root cause factors lie. It is our philosophy that the body can heal itself as long as there is no interference. We agree with Hippocrates who said,
“The greatest medicine of all is teaching people how not to need it.”
If you can recreate a balance in your bodies ‘broken’ physiology and restore normal function again then it is more than reasonable to expect your health to return and need for medication to subside.
We offer unique approaches for those seeking to maximize their health regardless of their health condition including but not limited to:
Thyroid problems, digestive disorders, chronic fatigue, blood sugar problems, chronic pain, anxiety or depression or cardiovascular challenges.
Our process includes sitting with you and actually listening to your health concerns, worries, ideas and ultimately your health goals.
