It’s never too early (or late) for Healthy Hips!

The hip joint is a strong joint that is designed for repeated motion, bearing weight and a fair amount of wear and tear.  It is the largest ball-and-socket joint in the body and allows for fluid movement and standing.

Whether you are getting up out of a chair or going for a jog, whenever you use the hip a cushion of cartilage helps prevent friction as the hip bone moves in its socket.

Despite its size and relative durability, the hip joint isn’t indestructible. With age and use, the cartilage can wear down or become damaged.  The muscles and tendons in the hip can get overused, or become imbalanced, all of which can lead to aches and often sharp pain in the hip.

If you would like to improve the health of your hips this Remedial Yoga Therapy workshop will give you the yoga tools you need to achieve hip pain relief.

The sixth in a series of ten workshops in 2018 for all yoga lovers, this one is all about gaining greater control of your pelvic floor.

The pelvic floor muscles are located between the tailbone (coccyx) and the pubic bone within the pelvis, and support the bowel and bladder along with the uterus and vagina (in females).

Muscular bands (sphincters) encircle the urethra, vagina and anus as they pass through the pelvic floor. When the pelvic floor muscles are contracted, the internal organs are lifted and the sphincters tighten the openings of the vagina, anus and urethra. Relaxing the pelvic floor allows passage of urine and faeces.

If the muscles are weakened, the internal organs are no longer fully supported and you may not be able to control your urine, faeces or wind.

Common causes of a weakened pelvic floor include pregnancy, childbirth, prostate cancer treatment in males, obesity and the associated straining of chronic constipation.

Pelvic floor exercises are designed to improve muscle tone and prevent the need for corrective surgery.

Let us guide you through 2 hours of Remedial Yoga Therapy to help you build core strength, reduce back aches and perfect your pelvic floor.

Always one of our most popular workshops, especially after our much loved but hectic festive season.

The ‘Tight & Tired’ workshop will hit your reset button for renewed energy.

Muscle tension and fatigue is often the result of the body not working correctly and efficiently.  It can also be the cause and effect of

• High stress & anxiety levels
• Incorrect functioning of body organs
• Sleeplessness
• Incorrect recovery from injury
• Low energy levels

Enjoy the yoga while we work to isolate the source of your muscle tension then redirect that excess energy to other areas of the body.  Decreasing stress in overworked muscles has the added bonus of reducing lethargy and increasing vital energy levels.

Find renewed energy & muscle relief in this January workshop, the first of our Remedial Yoga Therapy Workshops in 2018.

Many of us do not even realise how tight our neck and shoulders are.

Tight neck and shoulders seem to be a bi-product of our everyday lives.

Well it doesn’t have to be.

The focus of this workshop is to learn how to engage other muscle groups to relieve the stress that we put on our poor neck and shoulders.

By helping you to recognise the symptoms and long term changes that this stress is doing to your body and spinal alignment, you will work through remedial yoga exercises over the duration of the 2 hour workshop and get some easy take-away exercises to help you relieve stress at work and at home.

Somewhere along the line you may have decided that yoga is not for you. You have heard how great it is for stress management, but hey, you can barely touch your toes.

And meditate?  Last time you tried it you got the giggles cause someone had fallen asleep and was snoring.  Not really the Zen thing to do, but more common that you think.

Remedial Yoga Therapy is not about how well you can stand on your head or twist your body into a human pretzel.  It is about working out what your body can actually do.  If you are focused on moving, breathing and getting the right feeling then there is no time to think about the deadline at work or how you are going to juggle the kids sport pickups.

Through specialised movements and controlled breathing exercises, remedial yoga will help reduce stress and tension, increase strength, balance and flexibility, stability blood pressure and reduced cortisol levels.

Cortisol is often referred to as the stress hormone.  Scientists have known for years that elevated cortisol levels: interfere with learning and memory, lower immune function and bone density, increase weight gain, blood pressure, cholesterol, heart disease.

So why wait – Stress relief is not a myth.

We get up and sit down to have a coffee and breakfast then out to the car/bus or train to sit down on the way to work.

We get to work and most of us sit down at a desk where we will stay most of the morning until we get up to have lunch.

We also know it is better to sit when you are eating lunch, and then sit all afternoon until we sit back in the car or train to get home.

Exhausted after a long day we sit down to eat our evening meal and then sit back on the comfy lounge to watch our favourite TV show.

That’s a lot of sitting.

Now if we look at it from an anatomical standpoint these hours of sitting will shorten the hamstring and the illiopsoas muscles putting strain on the strain on the lower back.

Most of us do not engage our core muscles when sitting so this also reflects a weakness into the back.

But I’m an Athlete, and My Back Still Hurts

Many of us do not complete these sitting marathons every day, we play sport and workout, so why the lower back pain? Most weight-bearing sport or exercise that involves running, jumping, or rapid dynamic movements produces tension on the lower back. When these activities are repeated over time without balanced core strength and the stretching and releasing these tight muscles, overuse injuries are common.

This Remedial Yoga Therapy workshop will have a positive effect on athletes and couch potatoes alike.  Learn how to stretch properly without over straining and how to build core muscles strength that will aid the stability of your spine and hips – for work, rest and play.

StretchIT, Forward & Backbends workshop is designed to help reduce the stresses put on the body through the work, sport, sleep patterns and the eating habits of our busy lifestyles.

To balance these areas we look to the forward bends and back bends.  Remedial yoga therapy will target areas of stress to relieve symptoms and build strength in areas not working to optimum levels.

Back Bends are exhilarating moves that teach us to be kind to our bodies.

• improve the overall functionality of the body
• reduce tightness in the chest and front of thighs
• loosen hips and tight inner thighs
• Join Lisa Masters in this 2 hours workshop on

Forward Bends prove to be some of the hardest postures in yoga practise as they include the use of all the biggest muscles groupings, so if one is overworked, the others muscles groups will reflect this.   Tightness in these areas means that our body’s have to work harder to perform the most basic of tasks and this is tiring and sometimes even painful.  Getting your forward bends right will help

• open hips
• reduce stress on pelvis
• relax your nervous system
• allows for calmness
