Join me online this Tuesday or Wednesday morning for some Virtual Therapeutic Yoga! Here’s what I’ve got on the menu this week:
Tues. Nov. 27th - 9:30-10:45am
Healthy Heart, Happy Heart
This Tuesday we will honor the human heart with a class dedicated to its health, happiness, and awareness. This incredible organ beats 100,000 times and pumps the equivalent of 2000 gallons of blood through your body every day. Travelling through more than 96,000 kms of blood vessels, our blood delivers our oxygen, hormones, and nourishment to everyone of our 70 trillion cells, removing waste and maintaining the flow which keeps us alive. Incredibly, it takes a each blood cell on average only 30 seconds to complete it's cycle from heart, to target cell, and back again, completing thousands of circulatory cycles per day. The heart, however, is more than simply an impressive pump enmeshed in a massive matrix of tubular, fluid filled vessels. It also happens to generates powerful electromagnetic fields that allow us to connect deeply with our environment and other beings, contains it's own mini brain and can inform the brain in our head and make it's own decisions independently, supports it's own microbiome, and has been considered the center of human love and compassion by all races and generations to walk the face of this earth. Join me for this class as we connect inward to our own heart, learn to care for it through breathwork, stretching, and mindfulness techniques, and empower ourselves to start living a heart-centered life!
Wed. Nov. 26th - 9:30-10:45am
Yoga for Diabetes:
Prevention and Improvement Strategies
With almost 12 million Canadians currently living with diabetes and steep rises in cases of all age groups including children in recent years, there is a growing and pressing need to bring awareness, education, and action into society to address this growing concern. On top of the health concerns surrounding diabetes itself, this disease is most often considered a 'gateway-disease', which can often lead to heart-disease and other system related diseases or immunity issues in the body. Many of us understand the importance of healthy eating and nutrition and (hopefully) put in efforts to make regular good choices to reduce our sugar and processed food intake and find balance with much needed vegetable options. Although diet is indeed the most important element in preventing and improving diabetes, there are MANY other ways to help using breath, movement, and stretching to help regulate your metabolism, support and repair your spleen, balance your blood sugar, and bring your neural processes into alignment with healing and rejuvenation. Prevention is always the best remedy, and this class will show you the way! If you are already living with diabetes or pre-diabetes, fear not! With the right process and effort major changes can happen and improvement and healing are possible. This class will show you some of the important elements in that healing process that are often over looked by physicians and nutritionists!
