YOGA AND FASCIA
Fascia is the connective tissue, or scaffolding, which envelops, separates and supports internal structures, muscles & organs. Minimally, fascia facilitates "slide & glide" of these internal structures. Previously manipulated by bodyworkers, new medical research attributes more whole-body benefits to fascia such as: proprioception (sensing where one's body is in space), and "mediating lymphatic and fluid distribution" related to optimal health and healing from disease. See
Interstitium - the largest organ in the body. When fascia becomes restricted the result may be pain, muscle tension, diminished blood flow, weakness, loss of mobility or structural compensatory imbalances. These issues are particularly important to seniors, athletes or students with repetitive motion issues, injuries or high stress jobs/lives. Yogic movement contributes to lasting structural corrections over time and as part of a wellness lifestyle can provide long term relief from pain, dysfunction, mood disorders and other maladies.
FASCIA, VAGUS NERVE & PARASYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM RELATE TO YOGA & WELL-BEING
Yoga's "whole-body focused", quiet - yet demanding - physical postures offer a total body method to experience aligned movements that stretch and stimulate fascia and physiologic systems such as: endocrine, vascular, respiratory, even mediating the Autonomic Nervous System's shift from "fight/flight" to "rest/relax/digest" related to Vagus Nerve. With guided instruction on alignment, breath and meditation, our clients receive a practice designed to restore their optimal whole-body functioning, to stimulate natural healing mechanisms, improve coordination & balance, reduce stress and aid sleep. The result is a yoga practice that is felt deeply and produces the best results for the specific client.
