Yoga for Stress Relief Starter Kit
Is this you?
You feel stress and tension are negatively affecting your physical and mental health, and as a consequence your relationships and career.
You struggle with slowing down because your life is always too busy
You would like to try meditation and stretching but don't quite know where to start from
You would like to increase mental clarity, energy, focus and flexibility, so you can be more productive and resilient to stress
Then these practices are for you!
Stress in itself is not a bad thing: it is through challenges that push us out of our comfort zone that we grow and develop.
The problem is, many of us are stuck in a semi-permanent hyper-vigilant state, the "fight or flight mode", as our minds are constantly ruminating over anxious thoughts, never taking a break to restore. When this happens, not only we lose psychologic resilience and capacity to focus clearly, but also not much energy is left for immunity, so we get ill more often, even change the way our genes are expressed, and respond with fear, anger, anxiety or depression by default to whatever we encounter in our daily life.
This introductory course will help you experience the benefits of movement, breathing and meditation on the management of the physical and emotional symptoms of stress, so you can improve your energy levels, feel more rested and less overwhelmed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
I have never done Yoga, is this course for me?
This course is designed to introduce you to some powerful Yoga techniques to support your mental health, so it is a wonderful entry point for anyone who is new to the practice and it also offer more experienced students a new perspective on the benefits of movement beyond pure physical wellness. All the positions are offered with modifications and variations, and the pace is slow enough to give you the time to listen to your body and check how you feel in different configurations. Some simple concentration techniques are also presented, so you can also start getting familiar with different meditation practices and understand what works best for you.
I am not sure I am doing the practices in the right way.
As a general suggestion, in this kind of work there is no right or wrong way of "doing" the poses. Every body has a different best way of expressing the poses depending on many factors. Try and listen to the desired sensations and actions in the body instead of copying exactly the shapes: with the time you will learn how to adapt each pose to find the right amount of stretching and compressing that you need. For this specific style of Yoga, a good rule of thumb is to try and keep the sensation in a range of 60-80%. You want to feel some effects on your body, but never pain, so if in doubt back off a little and notice where you can achieve a safe and balanced sensation. In general if you can't breathe slowly or you notice your facial muscles are gripping, you are likely pushing too hard.
If you are still in doubt please get in touch here to book a private consultation.
