Yoga for Disease Prevention

Medical research proves that an estimated 60% to 70% of all illnesses are caused by stress and body imbalance.

High stress levels result in excess secretion of cortisol hormone which activates the sympathetic nervous system. This system causes the body to be in a state of “fight or flight”, which is very important in times of danger and attack.
However, being in high stress state for long periods of time is detrimental since there is an excess amount of cortisol in the body, leading to body imbalance.
These factors may lead to the development of many diseases. 

Regular yoga practice calms the body and mind, activates the parasympathetic nervous system which reduces stress and helps prevent many stress related illnesses.
When practicing YogaFlow, a dynamic yoga style, we move and practice different poses while maintaining slow, controlled breathing, thereby, enabling the body to remain calm even in intense movement.
There is no need for complicated advanced poses that are not suitable for us (and can even harm us if our body isn’t prepared for them), it is enough to practice basic poses, breathe and enjoy the numerous benefits of yoga.
A regular yoga practice calms the mind and body, reduces stress, strengthens the nervous system and aids in disease prevention.

"I love to watch how birds soar on the wind. There appears to be such little effort, yet such joy. I want to become like a bird and let my spirit soar on the winds that are blowing through my life. I will not be crushed against the rocks! I will sense the rhythm, the flow, and react accordingly. I will trust my inner guide."~ J. Garrett Garrison& S. Sheperd
