UNLOCKING ENERGY AND MENTAL WELL-BEING
The practice of yoga utilizes the body as a vehicle, but its purpose extends beyond the physical aspect. It primarily focuses on the energetic and mental dimensions. Each moment, posture, and breath in a yoga practice aims to shift your nervous system from an alert (sympathetic) state to a state of relaxation and regeneration (parasympathetic).
Why is this important? It is in this state that your body can reclaim its natural cycles of digestion, hormones, and sleep, which often get obstructed by the stress and tensions of daily life. If you don’t aid in releasing these from your system each day, they keep activating your alert mode excessively, leading to a decline in your health.
Engaging in yoga daily helps your body regain its natural rhythms of balance and equilibrium by releasing the accumulated tensions of everyday life. This is what fills you with vitality when you practice yoga.
