Presence - Breath - Vital Life Force
DO YOU HAVE A HORMONAL IMBALANCE?
Hormonal imbalances are common in many women. They can cause problems such as PMS, PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome), irregular cycles as well as various symptoms postnatally and during perimenopause and menopause.
Hormonal balance plays a huge part in our physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. It affects how we feel in our body, how we relate to ourselves and others and how we react to experiences in our lives.
WHAT IS HORMONE YOGA THERAPY?
Hormone Yoga Therapy was designed Dinah Rodriguez, a Yoga Teacher and Dr. of Psychology from Brazil. She has done a lot of research on the effect of certain yoga practices on the endocrine system.
From these studies she developed a set of specific exercises to reactivate hormone production and recommended them to be practiced from the age of 35 to prevent and reduce menopausal symptoms.
In women younger than 35, Hormone Yoga helps to improve fertility and to remove symptoms of PMS. Over time the practice has also shown to be beneficial for most other hormonal imbalances, like Thyroid Dysfunctions, Diabetes Type 1 & 2 or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
