Yoga has a balancing effect on the brain, hormones and endocrine system, and is a holistic way to physically heal the organs, glands, bones & joints. It also works emotionally to reduce anxiety, depression and insomnia.

When the body is in balance there is less inflammation and your systems work in harmony, making you feel better.

 

Yoga helps to reduce the effects of stress in the body by balancing the endocrine system and targeting specific glands, including the Pituitary, Pineal, Thyroid, and regulating the Hypothalamus, a small but important area in the centre of the brain responsible for hormone production and temperature regulation in the body. When this is out of balance it is thought to be responsible for overheating leading to night sweats & hot flushes.

 

During yoga, your brain releases chemicals incl. oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins that help you relax and also lower your stress and anxiety levels. These all work in different ways to help calm you down and ground you, reducing overwhelm and promoting peace & stillness.
