The physical benefits of practicing yoga

There are twelve physiologies of the body that function physically, spiritually, ethereally, mentally, and carry rajasic, sattvic, and tamasic tendencies that yoga directly benefits. The physiologies are: integumentary, fascial, skeletal, muscular, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, eliminative, endocrine, nervous, mental-emotional, and pranic. 

1. Integumentary

Yoga gives skin a healthy glow by detox through sweating, balancing hormones and boosting the flow of oxygen rich blood to the skin. Yoga movement and meditation stimulate the production balance of collagen throughout the body, promoting resilient skin. 

2. Fascial

Yoga can release lock down in the body from the constant "forward thrust" by using an intrinsic patterning of resistance and release. This facilitates fluidity throughout all the climates of the body, from visceral, to neuromuscular, to mental-emotional. The sound of ujjayi pranayama has a softening effect on the fascial sheath.

3. Skeletal

Yoga strengthens the bones density through isometric movements and keeps optimal range of motion throughout the joints.

4. Muscular 

Yoga strengthens, tones, and lengthens the musculature through movement. Yoga movement also keeps muscles young and vital, so minerals and nutrients are more readily absorbed. Freeing tight muscles brings balance to the structural alignment of the body, so more movement is allowed expending less energy.

5. Circulatory

Yoga acts as a cleanser of the circulatory system through both movement and oxygenation of blood, as well as tones the entire cardiovascular system. 

6. Respiratory

Yoga stretching and breathing increases overall lung capacity which oxygenates, strengthens, and tones all systems of the body. Regular Yoga Breathing helps the body detox naturally and gives the skin a youthful, healthy appearance. 

7. Digestive

Yoga is typically practiced on an empty stomach. Regular yoga practice stimulates naturally the body's digestive fire and healthy eliminative practice. In short, regular yoga keeps you regular. 

8. Eliminative

Yoga stimulates the peristalsis actions with in the body. Yoga Kriyas and the Yogi tradition of fasting can be used to cleanse the GI tract internally.  

9. Endocrine

Yoga is a balancing tonic for glandular flows and stimulates thyroid function and the pituitary (the Master Gland). 

10. Nervous 

Yoga increases nerve energy pathways throughout the body, balances the cerebrospinal fluids and releases impingement pressure on nerves. Yoga also soothes the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems to work in tandem as they were intended. 

11. Mental-Emotional

Yoga balances the right and left brain thinking capacity, increases conscious awareness, and concentration abilities of the mind. 

12. Pranic

Yoga increases the overall Prana to each of the twelve systems and cultivates the ability to direct energy to different areas of the body. The electromagnetic field (aura), chakras, nadis, and marma points would be included in the pranic system.

Yoga is not just stretching

 There are several different structures that allow the student to enjoy a rewarding yoga experience.  1. Tissue Preparation   Begin any physical activity (including massage) with tissue preparation using the Pranayama , "Om"-ing, Energy Healing Theta breath.  2. Restorative Practice A practice to restore and nurture. Excellent for people with health challenges, be it physical or mental. They are exactly what they say, restoring the reservoirs of the body/mind. Rejuvenating with very little physical exertion.  3. Vinyasa (Flow/Power Yoga) Practice Used as a warm up or practiced for their own sake. Excellent aerobic, isometric exercise that raises the body's energy, coordination, and mental acuity.  4. Asana Practice Practiced to increase opening of the body/mind, develop focus, and patience. Asanas are tools for heightened consciousness and health, rather than a goal to attain.  5. Pranayama Practice  Can be used as a practice on its own to increase lung capacity and hea

The benefits of practicing BodhiSpin Yoga & Meditation

BodhiSpin Yoga is a gentle approach to Kundalini Style Yoga. The intention is to move Kundalini energy up the spine through repeating certain postures. It raises energy, allows you to become more aware, and refines your soul. The breath is a deep, relaxed nasal breath. This combination of breathwork and practice is extremely liberating for the soul. It is my favorite flow of the different BodhiFlow practices. I feel like a brand new person every time I practice BodhiSpin. It makes me feel more conscious, I am able to gain new insight, and my overall instinctual feelings become stronger. I cannot wait to start teaching this flow because of its many benefits. Emotional It allows you to release any emotions pent up inside the body allowing space for the natural flow of energy. If you are prone to be moody, sad, excessive in any emotion, than this is the perfect flow for you. It will help you improve many areas of your life. Physical The poses aren't as physically demanding

One of my favorite things I've recently cherished

       I used to believe if someone did a "pretty" pose and it was super advanced, then I would be fit and healthy. Wrong. Yoga is so much more than just being able to look instagram worthy and attaining a flat stomach.         Yoga is a process of confronting your own limitations being able to challenge and overcome them. I have never had upper body strength, core strength, or even great balance. I practiced and practiced Vrksasana (tree pose) until I got it right. I learned how to allow myself to trust myself. This was HUGE for me. By learning this, I can stand anywhere, away from a wall and balance because I learned to allow. Also, I perfected my ardha chandrasana (half moon) asana on my right side. I am still practicing it on my left side because I'm not as strong on my left. I don't have to use any assistance because I practiced so much. I learned from that asana that certain things take time. Focus in the moment and be present. That message resonated so much
