MEDITATION

Yoga classes bring the mind and body into balance. Yoga is derived from "Yuj", a sanskrit word for union, and is the union of opposites at a balance point.

 

Yoga classes include physical postures, breathing exercises, meditation, and mantra which help balance the body and helps strengthen the body and nervous system.

 

Yoga helps to achieve a sense of peace-of-mind and balance resulting in a sense of calmness, helping to reduce stress and anxiety.

 

You will learn to take deeper, slower breaths with daily exercises of yoga. This can be one of the most powerful benefits of yoga.

 

Yoga poses use all the muscles in your body helping increase muscle strength, it helps strengthen back muscles and as a result improve posture.

 

Yoga classes increase fitness, improve flexibility and general health, and help reduce stress, frustration, and anxiety. Everyone can benefit from yoga.

 

Meditation is a technique for resting the mind and attaining a state of consciousness that is totally different from the normal waking state. 

 

In meditation, the mind is clear, relaxed, and inwardly focused. When you meditate, you are fully awake and alert, but your mind is not focused on the external world or on the events taking place around you. Meditation requires an inner state that is still and one-pointed so that the mind becomes silent. When the mind is silent and no longer distracts you, meditation deepens.

Meditation is a practical means for calming yourself, for letting go of your biases and seeing what is, openly and clearly. It is a way of training the mind so that you are not distracted and caught up in its endless churning.

 

Meditation teaches you to systematically explore your inner dimensions. It is a system of commitment, not commandment. You are committing to yourself, to your path, and to the goal of knowing yourself. But at the same time, learning to be calm and still should not become a ceremony or religious ritual; it is a universal requirement of the human body.

Practitioners praise Tai Chi's spiritual and psychological benefits, but what has attracted the attention of Western scientists lately is what Tai Chi does for the body. In many ways, researchers are just catching up to what tens of millions of people in China and Chinatowns around the rest of the world already know about Tai Chi.

 

 Tai Chi offers the greatest benefit to older men and women who are healthy but relatively inactive. Tai Chi practiced regularly helps reduce falls among healthy seniors. 

 

There are several styles of Tai Chi, but most of them start with a series of controlled movements, or forms.

 

It can take a few months for the effects to kick in, but when they do they can act as a gateway to a new lifestyle. 

 

The best thing about Tai Chi is that people enjoy it, so they are more likely to stick with it long enough to get some benefit. It helps when something that's good for you is also fun.

Unlike some forms of exercise, Pilates does not over-develop some parts of the body and neglect others. While Pilates training focuses on core strength, it trains the body as an integrated whole. Pilates workouts promote strength and balanced muscle development as well as flexibility and increased range of motion for the joints.

 

Attention to core support and full-body fitness - including the breath and the mind - provide a level of integrative fitness that is hard to find elsewhere. It is also the reason that Pilates is so popular in rehab scenarios, as well as with athletes who find that Pilates is a great foundation for any kind of movement they do.

 

Whether you are a senior just starting to exercise, an elite athlete or somewhere in between, the foundations of Pilates movement apply to you. Building from core strength, focusing on proper alignment, and a body/mind integrative approach make Pilates accessible to all. With thousands of possible exercises and modifications, Pilates workouts can be tailored to individual needs.

 

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.

 

A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing.
