More utterly amazing breath facts!
When you practice smooth, deep breathing like dirga pranayama or complete yogic breath you support the brain's waste management system, known as the glymphatic system. This is responsible for xlearing out toxins and cellular debris (this also happens in deep sleep). Cellular debris is associated with neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimers. Deep breathing also enhances the distribution of glucose, proteins, and essential neurotransmitters throughout the central nervous system, and we already know that it shifts the nervous system into a parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) state, reducing systemic cortisol, muscle tension, and stress! How about that? You can do this in any class of mine but especially on Friday mornings at 10 for Yoga, Breath and Meditation

Join me on Fridays at Sancta Otley 10am for 75 minutes to gently move your body, to find calm for the mind, to connect to the breath, to be present, to regulate the nervous system, to nourish your Self. The class is similar to a traditional hatha yoga class with a little more emphasis on pranayama and meditation. You are welcome whether you are experienced or a complete beginner. And all class participants have access to videos of the practices so you can continue to find that calm at home. Interested? Follow the link in bio to book or message me 07778 865666
