TRAUMA & Visionary Craniosacral Therapy
Experiences that are too overwhelming or traumatic to cope with can remain in your system, locking your body in a ‘fight, flight or freeze’ state without you even realising it (it’s like a fish saying “what water that I swim in?”). The long term effects of this unresolved trauma can include feelings of dissociation, stress and hypervigilance and can lead to illness and dis-ease. Craniosacral Therapy works particularly well with trauma by gently facilitating your body and brain to resolve held experiences without the need to revisit the original traumatic incident.
Everyone can benefit.
Visionary Craniosacral Therapy is gentle, hands on and non invasive.
If you have any questions about whether this is the right modality for you, feel free to reach out for a conversation.

EMBRACING YOGA OVER 55

Discover the Benefits of Yoga for Individuals Over 55 with Christina @ Ocean Shores Community Centre on Thursday mornings 9-10.30am. Bookings essential 0404 945027
As we age, maintaining physical and mental health becomes increasingly important. Yoga offers a holistic approach to well-being, particularly beneficial for men and women over 55. Here’s why incorporating yoga into your routine can be a game-changer:

*Enhanced Flexibility and Balance
One of the most noticeable benefits of yoga is improved flexibility. Regular practice can help ease stiffness and increase your range of motion. As we age, our balance can also diminish, leading to a higher risk of falls.

*Yoga helps strengthen the core and improve stability, significantly enhancing balance. Joint Health and Pain Relief. Yoga involves a series of gentle movements and stretches that can help lubricate the joints, reducing pain and stiffness. This is particularly beneficial for those dealing with arthritis or other joint-related conditions. The low-impact nature of yoga for Over 55's makes it a safe and effective way to keep joints healthy.

*Improved Cardiovascular Health
Yoga can provide a good cardiovascular workout. Practices like Salute To The Sun help improve heart health by increasing circulation and lowering blood pressure. Engaging in regular yoga sessions can contribute to a healthier heart and better overall cardiovascular function.

*Mental Clarity and Reduced Stress
Yoga is not just about physical benefits; it also promotes mental well-being. Mindfulness and meditation practices, which are integral to yoga, can help reduce stress and anxiety. These techniques encourage a state of relaxation and mental clarity, which is essential for emotional health.

*Enhanced Respiratory Function
Breathing exercises, or pranayama, are a key component of yoga. These exercises enhance respiratory efficiency and capacity, which can be particularly beneficial for older adults. Improved breathing helps increase oxygen flow to the brain and other vital organs, boosting overall health.

*Social Engagement and Community Participating in yoga classes offers a great opportunity for social interaction. Forming connections with like-minded individuals can lead to a sense of community and support. This social aspect is an often-overlooked benefit that can significantly enhance your quality of life.
