More than just stretching

Yoga affects the central nervous system (CNS) by shifting it from a "fight-or-flight" (sympathetic) state to a "rest-and-digest" (parasympathetic) state, reducing cortisol while increasing GABA, serotonin, and dopamine. Regular practice could enhance brain structure and function

Possible Key Effects on the Nervous System:

Autonomic Nervous System Regulation: Yoga increases parasympathetic nervous system activity, which lowers heart rate, lowers blood pressure, and promotes a calm state.

Brain Structure and Function: Studies show that regular yoga, particularly Hatha, can increase the volume of the hippocampus and enhance cognitive functions like memory, attention, and awareness.

Neurotransmitter Modulation: Yoga boosts mood-enhancing neurotransmitters, including GABA (which reduces anxiety), serotonin, and dopamine.

Vagus Nerve Stimulation: Techniques used in yoga, such as deep breathing and specific poses (e.g., Child's Pose), stimulate the vagus nerve, which runs from the brain to the gut, impacting heart rate and stress reduction.

Reduced Neuroinflammation: Consistent practice is associated with lower levels of chronic stress and inflammation in the brain.

Neural Plasticity: Yoga stimulates the mTOR pathway, promoting the creation of new nerve connections and overall brain plasticity.

These changes may foster increased resilience to stress, improved cognitive abilities, and enhanced emotional regulation

I don’t do a lot of promoting of virtual classes. I like having people in the studio. I believe the connection and face to face is important.

BUT your practice is about you and my beliefs dont really matter. If virtual is the best or only option for you, for whatever reason….
Most of the weekly classes have a virtual option. Just choose the one with VIRTUAL in the title at the same time as the in studio class. A zoom link will be sent to you

Borrowed this from somewhere else but it’s so true! We are all different. What we are going through is different. Our reasons for being at class are different.

The important thing is to show up.

The past couple of weeks I've been working on a program that will work for either beginners who want to introduce yoga into their lives, or also those who want to deepen their practice.

The program will use recorded content posted on the website, 1 group class a week, 1 reiki session, one on one weekly sessions, and weekly at home stretches to begin or end the day.

I begin recording content next week with the hopes of launching the program March 1st.

If interested or for more information reach out to me through email, text, phone call, or dm.

What holds you back? What excuses do you make? What do you put before yourself?

We all create a lot of "have to" things in our lives, when the truth is you don't "have to" do anything. Yes, the laundry and the dishes need to be done, the kids need to be picked up or dropped off, dinner needs to be made. BUT you don't "have to" put off doing something for yourself to get those things done. Nothing bad is going to happen if you go to yoga, take a walk, or meditate, instead of doing the dishes. The dishes will wait for you or someone else to get there.

However, if you flip that around, and think about what is happening to you, your body, your health, your stress level, by not finding time for you, there may be real consequences.

Classes are 45 minutes. Less than an hour a week if you attend one. Reiki appointments are 50-60 minutes and you might only have one every month or every few months.

Next time you start a sentence with "have to", stop and decide if you really do have to put that thing first and above yourself.

My guess is....nobody wants to go outside today to get to yoga, but that doesn't mean you have to skip it!
