Introduction to Wellness Activities
Yoga
Hatha “Ha” means sun and “tha” means moon so the Hatha practice helps you to balance your “masculine” and “feminine” aspects, finding equilibrium. During the practice, you will build strength and flexibility. This asana practice cultivates focus and helps to clear the energy pathways in the body bringing it to a sense of alignment.
Yin
Yin yoga is a practice that works the connective tissues (fascia, ligaments, tendons, and bones) of the body. It is a soft and passive practice that requires slowing down so you can surrender the body to gravity and enter a state of self-inquiry and contemplation. It is an asana, and meditation practice all rolled into one, that helps to release and clear the energy pathways of the body.
Yoga Nidra
Sometimes called the Yogi Sleep. Yoga Nidra counteracts stress and helps provide effective relief from depression and long-standing anxiety. It is an efficient way to obtain sleep. It helps clear the mind for learning and absorbing new material. Releases tension between body and mind and helps prepare for mediation practices. It is profoundly rejuvenating and helps with concentration and focus.
Conscious Connected Breath
The ancient science of yoga and the breath is returning with more relevance day by day, as the noise of the external world becomes louder, you are being called to quieten the internal, mind. This is one of the first goals of yoga and the root cause of disease in the body. Continuance practice and internal retreat are the doorways. The breath is the power of the mind.
