NEW innovative Yoga sequence to conquer stress at the source and look your best from the inside out on your special day!
Brides, grooms, wedding parties and families all experience the challenges and excitement of pre-nuptial activities. Daily life is busy enough without the stresses of running around to ensure that your wedding day is picture perfect. You might look calm on the outside, but your stress blemish tells a different story.
To reduce stress directly at the source, whether it is at the office, during travel or at home there is an environment-specific sequence of innovative yoga poses that will leave you refreshed and whole again
.
Yoga in the Office & Small Spaces Book/DVD is a proactive tool utilized to rejuvenate strain on the neck, shoulder and back muscles from prolonged periods working in an office, at a computer, traveling in the car or pouring over the endless plans for your perfect wedding day.
This in turn can lead to tension and stiffness. If left unattended, this tension can impact your ability to function effectively at work and your overall quality of life can suffer. Simple techniques such as office yoga help to release tension, increase muscle strength and flexibility and increase mental clarity and focus.
The practice of yoga techniques will enhance your wedding day by:
ü Allowing your inner beauty to shine through
ü Awakening your energy flow to get you through a physically demanding schedule
ü Revitalizing your circulation and improving your complexion
One of the tremendous benefits of yoga is that it boosts blood circulation to often-neglected areas of the body like joints, connective tissues, and internal organs. Deep stretches, twists, backbends, and muscular contractions signal the body to send blood to those specific areas. Learn how you can begin to revive your mind, body and spirit right from where you are seated at this moment!
You have nothing to lose by implementing these time sensitive, simple Yoga principals to your daily routine. Here are a few poses as seen on Breakfast Television, City TV in January:
Step 7a: Dhanurasana (Bow Pose): this pose is so called because it looks like an archer's bow, the torso and legs representing the body of the bow and the arms the cord. Circle your shoulders a few times, sensuously rolling them up, back and down. On the fourth roll, interlace your fingers behind your back with your arms as straight as you are able to make them. If you don’t have room behind you, reach back and hold onto the outside edges of the back of your chair. On an inhalation, lift your chest, making a high backbend. Stay here and draw 3 full, rich breaths into your body.
Step 7b: Bidalasana (Cat Yoga Pose)
As you exhale, release your hands; place them on or under your knees and round your spine. Tuck your pelvis and pull your navel away from your knees, coming into a seated cat pose gazing at the top of the inner thigh. Breathe deeply and feel the broadness of the back body. Let your head dangle to open the back of the neck.
Step 8: Prasarita Padottanasana (Wide-Legged Forward Bend) Pose
Tones the abdominal organs and calms the brain.
From where you are, begin to fold forward, letting your upper body fall through your thighs with feet planted about 4 feet apart. You may be able to reach the floor with your palms flat in line with the shoulders. Otherwise, try to hold onto your ankles or shins, you can place a pillow or Yoga block under your hands to support you. The idea is to let your head drop lower than your hips—this is an inversion. Stay in this pose for 3 deep abdominal breaths. Slowly roll up one vertebrae at a time as you inhale and find length in your spine.Now Relax and enjoy your special day!
Namaste,
