Yoga is an ancient
practice that helps create a sense of union in mind, body, and
spirit. It improves respiration, energy, and vitality, and promotes
cardio and circulatory health. Yoga helps you to relax and handle
stressful situations more easily while encouraging positive thoughts
and self-acceptance. It builds awareness of your body, your feelings,
the needs of others, and the world around you. Yoga brings us
balance and creates a toned, flexible, and strong body.
Hatha Yoga is a branch of yoga that focuses on
physical postures (asana) and breathing practices (prayanama).
The art of blending the two together can bring about many mental
and physical benefits. Hatha is the choice of yoga among Nurture
Yoga Studio’s certified teachers.

is a way of moving into stillness, of becoming relaxed, calm,
peaceful inside, in order to experience the truth of who you
are, your real identity.” |
PILATES
Pilates is a system of exercises that have a profound effect on
the strength and stability of the body. It is a mind-body fitness
activity that is based on the belief that our health and well-being
originate from a state of physical and mental balance. It is characterized
by mindful movements, conscious breathing, and attention to good
form. Pilates increases core strength with control which targets
the abdominal, back muscles, and hips. It improves overall flexibility
as each exercise addresses tightness. It promotes better posture
which can help alleviate back pain. When Pilates is done consistently,
it will create a streamline appearance and can be an important
part of your weight-loss plan.
MEDITATION
Meditation is a time of quiet reflection when the mind is still
and silent. It is a great technique for relaxing and finding your
center. Meditation helps to balance the mind, body, and spirit.
