Yin Yoga, TCM & Stress Management

Stress affects almost everyone, particularly in this phase of uncertainty which surrounds a lot of us in current times. A little stress is good for you. It helps to keep you motivated, alert and energetic, and increases your ability to cope with difficult situations⁠ However more and more of us are finding ourselves living in an almost chronic state of stress. Our various internal systems can't keep us healthy when we spend extended periods of time in this state⁠ From a TCM perspective chronic stress causes blockages of energy flow that result in the flow of Qi and blood becoming stagnated.  This episode is designed to share my experience of how we can use TCM to help us to manage stress ⁠ We will enjoy together: ⁠ <ul> <li>Discussion about how stress shows itself ⁠</li> <li>What is stress in Chinese Medicine ⁠</li> <li>Which Organs and meridian lines are most affected by stress & how that manifests into sickness long term ⁠</li> <li>Some ways to manage stress from a TCM perspective ⁠</li> </ul>

Enjoy Stress Relief with this Pranayama!

This episode is designed to invite you to take 8 minutes of your day to "Find Your Calmness" through this simple breathing technique!  Most of us know that when we’re rushed and feeling pressured, our breathing becomes shallow. But have you noticed that when your nervous system is jacked up, your inhalations are longer than your exhalations? If you can summon the presence of mind to check your breath next time you find yourself harried and feeling anxious, chances are you’ll find you are emphasizing inhalation at the expense of exhalation.  This quickly increases your level of stress—short exhalations make us vulnerable to anxiety and depression, and create an imbalance in the autonomic nervous system. The antidote is simple: lengthen the exhalation—in fact make it twice as long as the inhalation. Sustain this breathing pattern for a minute or two and your heart rate slows, your blood pressure drops, and your muscles begin to relax. When you’ve gained some experience at the technique, you can easily switch to this breathing pattern and soothe your nervous system any time you’re feeling stressed. <h4>Benefits:</h4> <ul> <li>Relaxes the nervous system</li> <li>Increases relaxation and sleep</li> <li>Reduces anxiety</li> <li>Increases lung capacity and breath control</li> <li>Releases tension</li> <li>Cools the body</li> </ul> ------------  If you enjoyed this, then head to my website at <a href="//www.carolinelayzellyoga.com/events/" target="_blank">www.carolinelayzellyoga.com/events/</a> and click on Pranayama Challenge and enjoy access to my 5 Days of Pranayama Challenge. It includes 5 different breathing techniques to enjoy daily!  Look out soon for a 5 Days of Meditation challenge arriving in September!

9 Ways to Keep Your Nervous System Healthy Today

This episode is designed to share with you some simple techniques to help you find a better sense of balance. Allowing you to enjoy a healthy well functioning nervous system. Life can be a lot. We live in a busy, often highly pressurised world! The more stress we carry, the more that impacts the functioning of our nervous system, and mental health.    Our nervous system controls: <ul> <li>Sight, hearing, taste, smell, and feeling (sensation).</li> <li>Voluntary and involuntary functions, such as movement, balance, and coordination. The nervous system also regulates the actions of most other body systems, such as blood flow and blood pressure.</li> <li>The ability to think and reason. The nervous system allows you to be conscious and have thoughts, memories, and language</li> </ul> When the activities of these nerves and cells are disrupted, the central nervous system fails to perform its basic functions. To avoid suffering from any CNS diseases and conditions, we need to practice some healthy habits to make sure to keep it healthy and in shape! So try introducing some of these tips into your daily life and see how they work for you!  ------------------------------------------------- If you want some inspiration on the Yin Yoga side then please check out my Yin Yoga Love folder on my YouTube Channel - Caroline Layzell Yoga  Here is one short 30 minute class that might get you started! https://youtu.be/laMxcRmAjAY
