Yoga & Chronic Lung Conditions |
|
|
Yogic exercises have been shown to have positive effects on people with asthma, cardiac diseases, diabetes, depressive disorders and arthritis. Yoga can reduce shortness of breath in patients with chronic lung disease by toning up general body systems, increasing respiratory stamina, relaxing chest muscles, expanding the lungs, raising energy levels, and calming the body. Additionally, yoga training improves blood circulation and increases the strength of respiratory muscles. Finally, yoga training also helps patients to breathe more deeply by utilizing the shoulder, thoracic, and abdominal muscles efficiently. Join our Respiratory Therapist/Certified Yoga Teacher for our very first Yoga for Chronic Lung Conditions program. In this 8-week program (2 sessions/week), you will practice physical postures, breathing techniques, and meditation to support you in managing your condition. Program Dates 8 week program Mondays @ 2:30-3:30pm AND Fridays @ 10:30-11:30am From October 23 - December 18 **We have a few more spots available** If interested, please register by calling us @ 905.878.1720 |
