Supporting Breath, Vitality & Respiratory Health Through Yoga
As we approach the holidays and colder weather, it’s important to take time to support your body and nervous system. During this seasonal transition, you may notice less resilience to the flu, seasonal colds and allergies. The respiratory system is a vital part of our health and well-being and can taken for granted until it’s not working well. We may not even realize the breath is suffering, we just feel tired, scattered or uninspired. Stress and illness can make these symptoms worse.
In this workshop, you'll explore a sequence designed to improve energy, calm the nervous system and develop a connection to your breathing. We will practice a variety of poses both supported and dynamic to open the chest, diaphragm, rib cage, and upper back. You will learn how to develop a smoother breath and greater lung capacity.

How posture and chest mobility influence breathing
