Yoga
Yoga, particularly Kundalini yoga and yoga therapy play an important role in developing and sustaining a holistic lifestyle. Below are descriptions of each of these practices.
What is Yoga?
Yoga is a practice of self-awareness and self-development that merges the body, mind and spirit, through achieving, maintaining, and expanding a higher state of consciousness. This state is attained through physical exercises, postures (asanas), breath control (pranayama), relaxation, mantra, and meditation.
What is Kundalini Yoga?
Kundalini Yoga is a holistic mind-body-spirit methodology effective for the treatment of a myriad of addictions and disease. This approach is based on significant scientific research and the ancient wisdom of yoga and meditation. Kundalini yoga considers the whole of the individual in creating deep and lasting change and is a wonderful complimentary approach. Generate absolutely powerful energy, mental clairty, and genuine joy & bliss!
What is Yoga Therapy?
Yoga Therapy has been advocated as complementary treatment for behavioural wellness in cases of depression, anxiety, PTSD, impulse control, asthma, addiction, and smoking cessation, as well as numerous other afflictions.
How Does it Work?
Yoga promotes self-healing and proper functioning of the body by stretching and strengthening the many muscles, bones, glands, organs, and nerves, bringing overall harmony and balance. Breathing and meditation techniques help to focus and purify the body & mind, while deep relaxation allows for the integration of the body, mind, and spirit. I believe that with this holistic alternative to complete health, together we can improve the rate of sustained sobriety as well as the quality of lives touched by addiction.
Melanie is inspired to help grow this healing modality, along with other complementary, holistic therapies such as breathing techniques, meditation, acupuncture, counselling and communication skills, lifestyle and stress management, hydrotherapy, exercise, detoxification, nutrition, self-reflection, service, community support among many other possibilities.
When the human body functions at its peak performance and all systems are a go, the mind will shift from pessimism and negativity, to an optimistic and healthy outlook on life. Every spiritual being having a human experience has the potential to be the writer of their own script!
