Spring Detox Intensive Coming Up Soon!!!

2008-07-12T20:52:00.000-07:00

In this cold weather it is heartening to think that Spring is just around the corner!

This year we have a special yoga intensive for our Yoga practitioners.

The season of spring is a time for rebirthing and new directions. The immune system and flexibility of the body are governed by the liver. Using any substances as a stimulant eg coffee, alcohol, sugar; depletes the liver energy.

Detoxifying alleviate chronic liver disorder. The liver is the largest storehouse of the body and has to continually update itself.

We have to be flexible, especially in spring or else the weather changes and you’ll go nuts, get sick etc. eat lighter food now, leafy greens, sprouts and grains...avoid animal products.
Joints being able to turn reflects our psyche; our body becomes a reflection of our mind. So a lack of flexibility in our joints reflects a lack of flexibility in our minds. It limits you!
What we want is lots of possibilities. When we’re kids we think we’ll do lots of different things and have lots of adventures...then we start to close down, limit ourselves, become tighter, smaller in our possibilities. DON’T lose that childlike flexibility and adaptability!!! Fight to get it back!!!

This special intensive will help you take off the extra weight you’re carrying from winter in preparation to blossom in Spring.

The Beginning of September is the best time to detoxify the body ready for spring and summer. We are offering a week of intensive yoga and detoxifying food to help you make the most of this cleansing time of year.

To join us in the Intensive week you will need to provide us with your email address, book and pay by Monday 25th August.
You will receive
the intensive special timetable which includes extra classes.
pre—detox information
A workbook
Your detox meal will be provided after each class (takeaway available)

After the week, you will feel healthier,
energised, your liver will thank you and your waist will return!!

Cost to be announced.

This workshop is a wealth of information for any student.

For beginners, it’s the best way to learn more about the yoga postures and the best way to learn the right alignment right from the start.

If you are experienced, it is a great way to check yup on your alignment, break yourself of any bad habits and deepen your knowledge and understanding of the practice

Develop a solid understanding of the building blocks of Ryoho Yoga and watch your practice soar to another level.

Autumn Yoga

2008-05-16T21:24:00.000-07:00

Here is some information about the particular organs we are focussing on strengthening in our yoga practice during Autumn!

Autumn is a time of letting go and contracting inward. Our prime organs of elimination are the lung and large intestine.
During this time our focus is on moves that stimulate the lungs and help build contractive force in the large intestine.
This helps you let go of the old before the rebuilding time of winter.
Working the large intestine brings inner strength and centredness in the mind.
These movements eliminate excess heat in the body through pure physical exertion. Help stimulate the removal of reside fats, harmful toxins and other bacteria throughout the body.
Plough and Headstand
Do not measure success in how well you perform a pose, but in how much you learn about your body and yourself. The inverted poses can take time to feel familiar but the preparation towards them helps build strength and body awareness. Have patience when working on plough and headstand.

The Lungs
Ryoho Yoga practice echoes the mood of the season. Autumn is the time of lung and large intestine. Here is some information to help you get the most out of your Yoga practice.
Breathing is an involuntary reflex – we can hold the breath, but its impossible to stop in completely. Although we don’t have to learn to breathe, many of us suffer imbalances in the way we breathe. Breathing shallowly uses only part of the lungs; bad posture adversely affects the freedom of the chest cavity; and emotions from depression to shock can contract and compress the chest, hindering effective breathing.
The diaphragm is the main operator in the mechanics of breathing, rhythmically contracting and relaxing. It contracts and flattens with the inhalation, effortlessly drawing air into the lungs, then relaxes back and up on the exhalation. As the exhalation is longer than the inhalation, the diaphragm spends more time resting, enabling it to maintain its constant function, and boosting the oxygenating capacity of the lungs. Other muscles help the exhalation and connect it with movement. If the abdominal muscles contract, the curve in the lower back lengthens, relaxing the spinal muscles along with the diaphragm. This allows the backbone to extend while the pelvis, dropping away from the waist, frees the legs.
Breathing effectively improves the oxygenation and detoxification of the body. Yoga is of immense benefit in establishing correct breathing patterns, which help extend and realign the spine.

Class timetable continues unchanged through Autumn.

See you in class!!

AUTUMN YOGA WORKSHOP

2008-03-03T13:58:00.000-08:00

As the trees lose their leaves, the climate becomes cooler and the days are shorter, we know that autumn is here. Autumn brings a time of letting go and contracting inward. If the lung and large intestines are working well, the body can let go of toxins efficiently giving you the chance to slim down, strengthen and tone your body, targeting those problem areas of bottoms and thighs.
As you regain the contractive function in your large intestine your ability to absorb minerals from your food increases and your mind becomes clear and sharp.
Lose that sluggish feeling and replace it with motivation, decisive activity and optimism for future possibilities.

You will be inspired to take the next step and will walk away with the tools to do it.
