Aspects of Yoga Workshop

Reiki

“Reiki opens doors to mindfulness, intuition, compassion and gratitude by creating health,

joy and harmony. The next big frontier in medicine is Energy medicine.” (DR. Oz.)

Originating in Japan, Reiki was conceived and taught by initiation and passed down from Dr Mikao Usui. It is a form of stress reduction, bringing forward relaxation and helps the journey towards healing through the ‘life force energy’ coming through the hands of a practitioner. The resulting calmness brings in healthy happiness. 

Benefits of reiki include balancing energy and improving immunity through fostering natural self-healing. Reiki aids relaxation and reduces anxiety as well as improving sleep and releasing stress and tension. Furthermore, reiki may relieve depression and encourage mental clarity by heightening self-awareness and intuition thereby increasing creativity. Reiki may also help with pain management and improve recovery. Finally, it can assist with grief, trauma and loss.

Yoga

IS:

More than Asanas (postures) and exercise.

Awareness of how the physical, mental and emotional levels operate in unison.

Very important in ‘getting to know’ what the ‘breath’ can do for you.

A way of introducing what feeling ‘deep’ relaxation’ is like.

Deeply personal, you can take what you need from Yoga.

A science that assists our awareness in many aspects of our overall well-being.

Originated from Ancient India and dates back thousands of years before Christ.

Massage

Massage works through the muscles to promote blood circulation and flow. Physical and psychological changes occur due to the massage ‘tune up’. Massage is beneficial for counteracting work-related stress, tension and the effects of sitting long periods as well as physical labour and extended over-concentration. In the workplace, it influences staff well-being which flows on to a calmer and more productive work space. 

Massage is a luxury you can’t afford to miss. It changes the way you feel and if you listen to your body when it whispers, you won’t have to hear it scream. If you don’t take care of your body, where else are you going to live.

Benefits of massage include stimulating the release of endorphins which are the body’s natural pain killer. Massage is an ancient form of ‘medicine’ that improves circulation and reduces blood pressure as well as relieving muscle tension and improving endurance.
