Sanctuary YOGA
and Wellness
It’s back to school and our “organized “lives once again.
Some big changes for me this summer came in terms of my home base now
being in Thunder Bay! This allows me more time to spend with my youngest
son as he winds down his high school years.
So… the
good news is that I will continue to offer yoga on the North shore
and now at Resting Frog Yoga in Thunder Bay on Mondays for 3 specialized
classes. I am attending a yoga retreat early September to renew and
refresh! It will be a very busy season and I look forward to seeing some
familiar faces and a few new ones! Namaste,
Nancy Hall

Note re: Yoga Gets Hearts Healthy
Medical research shows that
regular yoga and meditation improves heart health in both individuals with
healthy hearts and those with diagnosed heart disease. S. Sivasankaran,
MD, discovered this while studying at Yale.
We have the
chance to make a special focus on our hearts. That amazing organ, only
the size of our fist, that circulates our life force throughout our body.
We take our hearts for granted unless of course they call our attention by
racing or skipping, or we learn about a heart health concern! The health
of our heart is influenced by the activities of our body and mind in
day-to-day living. A stressed mind is a stressed body and stress is known
to elevate blood pressure having a negative impact on heart health It
doesn't take years of practice to have this positive impact on heart
health. Dr. Sivasankaran found that volunteers in his study had
measurable improvements after just 6 weeks of practicing the yoga
postures, breathing, relaxation and meditation.
Setu Bandha
Sarvangasana, or bridge pose, helps to open the chest, stimulates the
vasoconstrictor and vasodilator nerves that regulate the closing and
opening of the arteries, and improves circulation of blood and lymphatic
fluid. So roll out your mat and help your heart! (Article Compliments of
