Stress Management: Stress
management combines breathing techniques, some gentle yoga
positions, and deep relaxation all designed to help reduce
stress and tension.
Hatha Yoga: Hatha yoga has
been practiced for thousands of years. Although ‘hatha yoga’
has its origins in India, similar practices developed by ancient
peoples are found worldwide. It includes physical positions
called asanas, a type of breathing designed to move energy
around the body called pranayama, and deep relaxation.
Pilates: Pilates is an exercise
system developed nearly 100 years ago by Joseph Pilates. Originally
intended for dancers, it is suitable for anyone who wants
to tone and strengthen the ‘core’ muscles girdling the waist,
as well as the muscles in the upper and lower body. It helps
to lengthen and strengthen these muscles; it reduces “pot
bellies” and “love handles”; and it improves body alignment,
breathing, and posture.
