Yoga & Meditation for Stress Relief
Juggling a 12-hour day between maintaining a household and raising a family?
Do you struggle to cope with work responsibilities and expectations in life?
Are you the overworked executive or overstressed student?
According to medical research, whether the stresses faced are different or unique to a person’s own situation, the body’s response and the biological changes that take place is the same for everyone. When we can no longer handle the pressure, our ‘stress response’ remain switched on and is repeatedly reactivated, resulting in an inability for our ‘relaxation response’ to kick in.
Escalating demands and challenges of our fast-paced lifestyles in this time-poor age, create many small stresses and brief stress reactions that can add up to hundreds a day! But, we hardly notice this accumulation of stress until it becomes chronic and undermines our health. It’s no surprise that stress–related illnesses top the list of visits to doctors and are the cause of some of the biggest health problems today.
