Spiritus Studio Yoga

Classes at Spiritus Studio Yoga focus on alignment. Better alignment in the poses translates into better physical results for your body. When your bones are aligned, there is less wear and tear on your joints- conduction in the nerves and an increase in blood flow occurs. Breathing can be deeper, slower, and more efficient when posture is better. Body tissues get more oxygen and the nervous system gets nourished. Our ability to cope in this fast, stress-generated life improves. Yoga is a tool to make life easier, without yoga, life is harder! The toughest problem is to commit to practicing yoga regularly - for the rest of your life!! When "life happens", and we stop practicing, do not feel guilty or stressed because of the interruption but to come on back to the studio and start again. Don't give up, don't EVER give up!

Just a few of the many reasons to enjoy yoga:

PAIN RELIEF: Yoga can ease pain. Studies have shown that practicing yoga asanas (postures), meditation or a combination of the two reduced pain for people with auto-immune diseases, M.S., cancer, and hypertension as well as diabetes, back and neck pain, and other chronic conditions. Some even report ease of emotional pain.

BETTER BREATHING: Yoga teaches people how to slow down and take slower, deeper breaths. This in turn improves lung function, triggers the body's reaction to relax and also increases the amount of oxygen available to the body.

INCREASED STRENGTH: Yoga postures (called asanas) use every muscle in your body helping to increase strength head to toe! While these postures are busy working your physique, they also have the additional benefit of helping to relieve muscle tension.
