Yoga
Yoga dates back more than 5,000 years. It brings the body and mind together into one harmonious experience. Yoga increases heart efficiency and slows the respiratory rate, improves fitness, lowers blood pressure, promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and allays anxiety. It improves coordination, posture, flexibility, range of motion, concentration, sleep, and digestion. Yoga is built on three main areas -- exercise, breathing, and meditation.
Ayurveda Basics - Make better lifestyle and food choices with the "Age Old Wisdom" of Ayurveda, yoga's sister science.
This course is designed for students of all kinds whose main desire is to focus on preventative health care. It is no secret that in these modern times, we have deviated slightly from a holistic perspective. What does that mean? That we have forgotten that we are all interconnected beings, not only with other humans, but with nature itself. What happens in nature, happens in us. We are the five elements. Learn what those five elements have to do with your health.
Real World Yoga: Yoga Everybody Can Do DVD
Real yoga for real people with real bodies. “Twisting yourself into a pretzel? Is this what yoga is all about? We live in the Real World – Let’s do some Real World Yoga!”
It's the first line you hear when you pop Jackie Camborde's Real World Yoga in your DVD player, and you know it's not going to be just another workout. Jackie developed the Real World Yoga program because not all people who benefit from yoga are flexible, young and injury-free. In fact, most of the population is battling with at least one of these maladies, if not several.
Real World Yoga is a program that allows first-time yogis to work at a comfortable level – rest and modification of postures is emphasized throughout. On the flip side, experienced yogis can use the challenge modifications to go deeper in postures and add more power to the program. The workout is a vinyasa-style practice, which means that postures flow from one to the next in the rhythm of the breath. Some poses can be held for several breaths to deepen the posture or to gain flexibility.
The program is a great balance of challenge and relaxation, of give and take, and of working at a comfortable level with the ability to go deeper when ready.
Jackie Camborde has been teaching fitness and yoga classes for over a decade. She owns Santé Studio in Santa Fe, NM. Jackie is certified through ACE, AFAA, Yoga Motion, the Cooper Institute of Aerobics Research, and Reebok University. She is a Master Trainer for Resist-a-Ball, and a registered yoga teacher with Yoga Alliance. Jackie’s philosophy is that exercise is for everyone and should be fun — because if it’s not fun, why bother?
