Yoga: ancient wisdom meeting avant-garde neuroscience research
Yoga offers a natural approach to healing body and spirit through ageless rituals and techniques including movement, breath work and sound.
Contemporary neuroscience and psychoneuroimmunology research confirm how these ancient practices work to naturally heal our bodies and emotions and restore wholeness. Trauma and emotional wounds - whether conscious or not- leave persistent scars in our tissues, originating chronic pain, misalignment patterns, and physiological, emotional and psychological imbalances.
Through use of mindful movement linked with breath, we bring these wounds to our awareness and access our own healing potential. Research shows that breath and embodiment practices are highly effective means to consciously affect the autonomic nervous system and regulate our stress response. This originates a domino effect on the rest of our body: the endocrine and immune systems get a complete reset, balancing our hormones and neurotransmitters; digestive and reproductive functionality is restored, and our whole system is optimally supported in finding homeostasis. Our sleep quality improves and our symptoms get better. When we feel better, all areas of our lives are positively affected.
