Yoga is all about getting to know yourself while practicing the art of presence by focusing on your breath. Yes the heart of yoga is your breath - not what contorted positions you can get your body into. It's about settling into the current moment by observing sensations from a silent space within, using your breath as an anchor into the present moment. The benefits speak for themselves as this guides your nervous system away from a dominant sympathetic state (known as. 'fight or flight') and into that much needed parasympathetic state (known as 'rest and digest'). The goal of yoga is to get your mind to a place where all emotional and mental fluctuations become still. Jade discovered yoga in her burn out a few years ago and is passionate about sharing its benefits with as many people as possible.
Words from Jade -In this workshop we are focusing on helping you relax in general while easing any head tension - headaches can be caused by a variety of reasons. Whether it be stress, posture, dehydration, emotional mental or physical tension, whether it be chronic headaches you suffer with of ad-hoc acute ones, this workshop will include multiple yoga techniques to help ease them, and provide you with the tools to practice at home.
Acupuncture is a modality of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is now widely used to treat everything from pain, anxiety, digestive conditions, insomnia, menopausal symptoms and fertility. Acupuncture moves the body's "Qi" or life force through channels/meridians to restore balance and promote the body's natural healing processes. From a western perspective It works on stimulating the nervous system to release neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine, hence a feeling of floating and deep relaxation during and after treatment.
Words from Sarah - Acupuncture restores the flow of "Qi" a vital energy that flows through pathways in the body called meridians. Headaches are often seen as a result of blocked or stagnant Qi in the head or related meridians. Acupuncture aims to insert fine needles into specific points along these meridians to unblock the flow of Qi, thereby alleviating pain and restoring balance.
Inserting needles at specific points can:
* Stimulate sensory nerves
* Release endorphins & natural painkillers
* Improve blood circulation
* Reduce muscle tension
* Modulate pain signals
* Reverse the stress response
Given that the mission statement behind Inner Lifetime is to help you find your thrive, with a passionate focus of bringing you simple yet effective yoga techniques, which are accessible to all - INCLUDING BEGINNERS, this event is no different.
Do you need to have practised yoga before? No. Do you need to have had an acupuncture treatment before? No.
All you need is compassion for yourselves, to give yourself this time out from the hectic culture of western society by recognizing that you deserve some down time. This event is hosted monthly by Jade and Sarah - the themes will vary but this one is about activating your parasympathetic nervous system and relieving pain caused from headaches. We want you to float out...
Jade met Sarah when she went to her during burn out, before her diagnosis with PMDD (Pre Menstrual Dysphoric Disorder) and was is absolute shock with the power of acupuncture. Sarah is a compassionate soul and no matter what state Jade showed up in, Sarah always knew how to handle her with care, diligently planning the appropriate meridians to access with acupuncture. Stress and health issues are no stranger to Jade nor Sarah so they are passionate about using their knowledge and life experiences to help you find that calm space within. Hence the birth of 'yoga - puncture', 2.5 hours with 2 souls passion to help you find a calm, nothing more.
