Because of its impact on the circulatory system, stress is linked to cardiovascular disease. Emotional stress can contribute to a wider spectrum of physical stress, i.e. muscle tension and constricted breathing. Efforts to alleviate these physical and emotional stressors will help you in reducing your risk of heart disease as well as other risky illnesses.
Yoga, like many forms of physical activity, can help relieve stress. Yoga reduces stress by encouraging deep, rhythmic breathing. It physically increases the flow of blood and oxygen to each part of the body, which in return promotes decreased muscle tension, and overall relaxation. Emotionally, obstacles encircling weight management can sometimes bring with them a great deal of unkind self-judgment. In conjunction with physical stress alleviation, yoga also has many psychological benefits.
Through yoga we can create a safe, positive environment to reconnect with our bodies. As we connect with our bodies our minds begin to quiet those counterproductive messages. With a committed practice we can re-gain balance and serenity, thus opening our best pathways for improved health.
H3’s upcoming three-day “Yoga Retreat” workshop held September 15, 16 and 17th will help immerse you into your journey to less stress and better health. So what are you waiting for? Book now and join us for this refreshing, balancing and rejuvenating retreat!
