Yoga and Healing

Yoga studios are springing up in many cities all over the world to cater to the demand by yoga beginners in the midst of the current economic downturn that is characterized by daily stress, fatigue and pollution.  More and more people are taking up yoga classes to seek that elusive sense of relaxation, comfort and inward consciousness. It has provided them with a refuge away from the daily confusion and yielded benefits useful to their practical daily lives. The benefits of yoga is that it is therapeutic both physically and mentally and it conditions the mind and body.  It also creates balance and relaxes the mind and body, by freeing the spirit and sharpens mental concentration and awareness.

In practicing yoga, practitioners will attain a sense of centeredness, grace and coordination.  Unlike other forms of exercise like aerobics or jogging, yoga when done correctly does not cause any strain or injury and has no negative effects. For beginners, it is recommended that the presence and direction of a qualified yoga teacher is sought before fully practicing yoga on one’s own.

I started taking yoga as a means of stress management and it changed my life. I improved in body,mind and spirit. I went through various programs and training including Brain Respiration classes and Healer School through my local Dahn yoga center. I learned how to work with children and adults using a combination of Yoga, Tai Chi, Qui Gong, and relaxation techniques. I enjoy working with children and adults of all ages both individually and in small groups. Healing the body, mind, and spirit is very rewarding.
