Upcoming course: Yoga for breast health
Yoga for breast health focuses on the connective tissue and the muscles that form and support the breast. It introduces movement that promotes awareness, reduces stagnation, enhances circulations and breathing, works on the general posture, tones the muscles and improves overall well-being. It is accessible for all and can be adapted to all abilities and needs.
What you will get out of the classes:
- Stress Reduction: Chronic stress can disrupt hormonal balance. Yoga’s mindful movements and breathing techniques help combat stress, promoting hormonal balance and overall well-being.
- Improved Lymphatic Drainage: Gentle yoga poses can stimulate the lymphatic system, which helps remove waste products and toxins from the body, potentially aiding in overall cellular health.
- Increased Circulation: Yoga can enhance blood flow throughout the body, including the breast tissues. This improved circulation can deliver essential nutrients and oxygen, promoting tissue health and potentially reducing inflammation.
- Body Awareness: Regular yoga practice encourages you to become more attuned to your body’s subtle changes.
- Mindfulness and Self-Care: Yoga cultivates mindfulness that can benefit your overall health and well-being.
What you’ll learn:
- Self massage techniques that can be done everyday
