Benefits:
|
Yoga : The Asanas or poses systematically stretch and massage all parts of the body, increase flexibility of musculature, increase joint lubrication, improve balance and stimulates the lymphatic system. Meditation and Guided Imagery calm the body and mind, improve the ability to concentrate, increases ones awareness of their surroundings, and quiets the mind (allowing clients to experience inner sources of peace, joy, and nourishment resulting in a deep state of relaxation). Pranayama or Deep Breathing assists in lowering the heart rate and provides for rest and regeneration for the entire circulatory system.
Tai Chi : Recommended by the Arthritis and Lupus Foundations to aid in pain management and increased range of motion. Studies show improved balance and reduction of falls and related injuries by as much as 48%; aids in lowering blood pressure, increase lung capacity and oxygenation through relaxed, deeper breathing. It can be utilized by anyone at any age.
Pilates: Increases muscle strength, joint mobility, flexibility, and muscle balance; develops long lean muscles; improves posture and alignment (which will relieve posture related disorders as well as improve general mobility so that one moves more fluidly and gracefully); stimulates circulation and blood oxygenation as well as boosts immune system function; improves mental clarity. |
