-
Mindful Restorative Postures: Gentle restorative postures using 2 x Bolsters, 2 x Bricks, 2 x Blocks, 1 x Blanket, Essential Oils Are Used To Hold Postures for 5-10mins, encouraging a deeper embodiment & release of the body, cells, tissues, organs, fascia & psoas muscle. Mindful relaxation, side stretches, and twists are all examples of Medicine Yoga. Influences from Yin Yoga, Hatha Yoga & Chi Kung. These poses are designed to slow the heart rate, breathing, and metabolism, and to relax the nervous system.
-
Mindful Body Scan Exercises: Progressive muscle relaxation & somatic body scan is an excellent way to relax, deepen your mind-body connection, and find grounding in times of stress or disruption. This short practice involves gentle, small guided movements to help build body awareness and release tension from your toes to the crown of your head.
-
Mindful Somatic Breathwork: Through the practice of MedYoga we focus on both Anapana Breathwork (Vippassana) & Rhythmic Breathing to maximise healing potential through the magnetic field of the heart discovered by the Heart Math Institute. Accessing a poweful portal of energy that generates a higher vibrational field of resonance. Encouraging the stimulation of breath to strengthen the Gut-Heart-Brain connection.
-
Vagus Nerve Stimulation: Humming, Chanting & Sound is often included in MedYoga practices as well as Tapping. Exploring Meridians (Energy Channels) To Cool The Mind & Body, Purge & activate the Parasympathetic Division of the Nervous System (Rest & Digest)
-
Bilateral stimulation (BLS): These techniques involves alternating stimuli to the left and right sides of the brain. It's used in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy to help people reprocess traumatic memories in a safe and controlled environment. BLS can help reduce anxiety, improve emotional regulation, and increase feelings of well-being.
-
Neuroplasticity & the 10 Second Gap: These exercises influence someone's brain to improve its structure and slow age-related complications. The Gap Effect: Breaks that Matter. Huberman advocates for incorporating random intervals of doing nothing, termed the Gap Effect, during learning. These short breaks, approximately 10 seconds each, aim to enhance cognitive processes. Nadi shodhanam: This technique involves alternate nostril breathing to create a slowing down effect to allow more profound & effective 10 second gaps.
