Top 10 Benefits of Chair Yoga

Chair yoga is seeing a huge increase in popularity. It offers all the regular benefits of yoga (strength, flexibility, mental clarity, stress reduction) but what sets it apart is it makes yoga accessible to every body regardless of  mobility or physical challenges.

yoga for sleep

Sleep | Wellness Series

Lack of sleep can often be linked to stress and anxiety but also the busyness of everyday modern life. If you are caught up in a perpetual cycle of sleep deprivation, the natural by-product of practicing yoga is a reduction in stress and often an improvement in sleep. 

yoga for stress

Stress | Wellness Series

Contemporary stressors tend to linger in our stress system and therefore this system is either constantly activated or repeatedly activatedThe constant high response of this system is a factor in some of the biggest health problems of our time, including diabetes and strokes as well as a myriad of other problems.

yoga for burnout

Burnout | Wellness Series

Those that are feeling exhausted and burnt out are likely to benefit less from a physically challenging yoga class, instead the focus is best placed on restoration and renewal to help reduce exhaustion.

yoga for anxiety

Anxiety | Wellness Series

Yoga can help with anxiety by inhibiting the chemical messenger in the brain that involves the fear-based pathways associated with anxiety. Find out more about yoga for anxiety on our latest wellness blog.
