Yoga may not be the first thing that comes to mind when your are sinking into an afternoon slump or waking up bleary-eyed after a late night.

But movement and deep breathing might whilst doing an invigorating Sun Salutation or Standing Postures could be just what you need to help fight fatigue.

Active poses that stimulate the blood flow through the body can help combat fatigue and boost feelings of vitality, and might also help to counter some of the effects of long periods of sitting.

We get up and sit down to have a coffee and breakfast then out to the car to sit down and drive to work.

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

We also know it is better to sit whilst you eat lunch, and then we return to the office to sit all afternoon until we sit back in the care or train to get home. Exhausted after a long day we sit down to eat our evening meal and the 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.

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, increased 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.

Stiff shoulders are all too common, and tight sore wrists are not just for the mouse potatoes amongst us.

Remedial yoga therapists successfully treat these modern ailments without the need for painful injections, and this workshop can show you how.

Painless Shoulders & Wrists 

• Tingling fingers
• Numbness
• Heavy arms
• Muscle pain
• Headaches
• Reduced range of motion

These common symptoms are often a result of the incorrect neck alignment.

But more often we here that this is corrected by neck adjustment therapies but then returns, sometimes within days.

This workshop will help you use yoga postures and movements to discover why this keeps on happening and how to stop the cycle of pain and discomfort.

Can you touch your toes?

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

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 muscles groups to relieve the stress that we put on our poor neck and shoulders.

Lisa Masters will be 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.
