Improving cardiovascular function and fitness
Private one-to-one classes are an ideal way to practice yoga within your own level of fitness towards getting stronger, fitter and healthier
A large body of evidence supports yoga’s role in heart and circulatory health, from lowering blood pressure to decreasing circulating fats and shifting the balance towards good (high density) cholesterol, to protect your heart and blood vessels
Studies have also found yoga to be as effective as more vigorous cardiovascular exercise for improving your level of fitness
Managing asthma & improving respiratory function
Overbreathing and other dysfunctional breathing patterns are common with or without respiratory “diseases” such as asthma and COPD
A one to one yoga setting is an ideal way to improve how you breathe for better health
Working with stress-related digestive issues
The gut has traditionally been considered the sounding board of health
Modern research has established this with the discovery of an important two-way connection between digestive function and emotional wellbeing known as the gut-brain axis
While diet is essential for optimal digestive function, yoga can help you manage the essential contribution of stress in functional issues including irritable bowel and overall digestive and mental health
Please contact Manuel for advice and assessment before signing up
How does yoga differ from exercise?
While there is some overlap between the two it’s important to appreciate some fundamental differences:
Physical therapy works to improve mechanical function such as muscle tone, stability, mobility and alignment for your fitness and wellbeing
Though also working with your structure, yoga is a mindfulness-based body therapy with a focus on mind-body connectivity and stress reduction for your physical and mental health
Working one on one we can use the principles of yoga and physical therapy to embrace the whole mind-body spectrum and provide you with a sound base for healthy function
