Energy and Vitality |
According to the yoga tradition from the moment of birth it is prana (life force) that organizes, activates, and animates our physical bodies. When the flow of prana is restricted or impeded the whole system becomes imbalanced and prone to disease. We can learn to work with our energy through breath and movement to access our physiological and emotional stress levels and ultimately improve the general quality of our lives.
WE WILL EXPLORE HOW TO:
- Change your energy level (perk up or unwind);
- Improve the quality of your sleep and morning energy;
- Strengthen the immune system;
- Stimulate vital bodily functions;
- Attain better emotional control and equilibrium.
