Yoga and simple natural health practices offer powerful and yet really gentle methods to support your mental, physical and emotional health during the winter season. This online yoga course will guide you through each week of winter, supporting you with safe and appropriate practices and inspiring ideas to strengthen, fortify and uplift you during the darkest months of the year.
Banishing the Winter Blues
Together we will vanquish the winter blues, support your immune system and learn practices to improve your breathing, posture, movement habits and quality of sleep. Recent research shows that practicing yoga regularly (that is once a week or more) for more than 8 weeks, yoga can improve immune function and reduce inflammatory markers. This course is designed to encourage that regular, enjoyable practice that improves health at a fundamental level.
This online yoga course is open to everyone, although if you have an ongoing ailment or movement restriction it is good to check with your doctor to see if gentle movement is appropriate for you (it generally is better to move that to stay still in most cases). Remember you are responsible for your own movement throughout the course.
