Breath & Relaxation

 

Our breath is an indicator of our emotions, so when we are stressed we take short shallow breaths and the body does not received enough oxygen to function efficiently.   The lungs remain full of stale, residual air which has no benefit to the body. When we learn to breath slowly and deeply taking in lots of fresh air or ‘prana’ this automatically calms our mind and  we feel more alive and energised.  
 
Dr Otto Warburg President of the Institute of Cell Physiology, Twice the Nobel Prize winner for Medicine said “Deep breathing techniques increase oxygen to the cells and are the most important factor in living a disease free and energetic life.   When cells get enough oxygen, cancer will not and cannot occur”. Surely a good enough reason to learn to breath correctly!  
Relaxation stimulates the para sympathetic nervous system – the counterpart to the excitable sympathetic nervous system and 20 minutes deep relaxation or Yoga Nidra can be as beneficial as 2 hours sleep. Yoga Nidra is featured on Stressless Living CD1

Total Escape Holistic Holidays have been running since 2006 – first in Turkey, now in Dahab and Ronda near Malaga. The idea of a Total Escape is just that - get away from it all – with daily yoga, relaxation, pranayama, meditation and visualisations not forgetting to mention laughter yoga, belly dancing, laughing, swimming, snorkelling, spa treatments, massaging, dancing, eating, drinking, walking, horse riding, cooking, desert adventures, mountain views   OR doing nothing at all!
 
In Turkey and Spain I am accompanied by holistic therapist Anna Cox who offers aromatherapy, reflexology, Indian head massage, natural face lift massage, hopi candles, Thai foot massage and reiki to ensure that your stress really does melt away.

Stressless Living Course at  Gt Ormond St Hospital   I have taught Laughter Yoga, Hatha Yoga and Stressless Living since 2004 at Ormond St Hospital and the staff have benefited..  Following feeback from staff it was agreed  that they wanted a course which will have lasting benefits for their wellbeing so the 6 week Stressless Living course was devised and taught from October 2011.Particpants completed a questionaie at the beginning and end of the course and the final outcome was that EVERYONE BENEFITED IN SOME WAY.  Participants have to agree to attend all 6 sessions and to practice at least 10 minutes per day to get the maximum benefit.

 Prior to this program I have always had problems in going to sleep and waking in the middle of the night. The program has completely solved this.

This course has been wonderful.  I’m feeling more relaxed/.less stressed and am learning not to take on responsibilities for things that are outside my control.  .   

 I feel much more positive.  Aware when I am stressed and can reduce it by breathing and stretching.  This is just the beginning!  Strongly recommend 

I have learned how to handle my emotions better and express myself in times of stress and tension. 

I have really enjoyed this course especially the stretches and breath awareness and feel that I am more confident now.  

I’m really, really happy that I’ve taken this course! I had noticed a massive change in myself when dealing with stress or upsetting situations.
