How and why yoga therapy can help you to heal your body and mind from the moment you start to practice.
When we meet challenges and struggle, the ability to reflect on peace and feel it within is both restful and encourages optimism. If you’re struggling with an issue in your body or mind the first action to take is to find a way to reduce stress, inflammation, and hormonal over-load.
We can’t escape stress. As a sensitive, feeling human being we hold traumas from the past and empathy for those around us feeling pain, all while confronting life’s misadventures like divorce, personal losses, death of loved ones. Stress plays a major part in illness, injury, and your ability to self-heal. Symptoms like fatigue, tight muscles, headaches, weight gain or loss, depression, anxiety and more are caused or made worse by stress.
Soothing your whole being through a combination of stretching, strengthening, and breathing exercises with meditation targets these problems. The beauty of it is, that looking within is also active observation of the unity of yourself, body mind and emotion- experiencing each breath in the present moment.
That’s why self reflection is the true heart of a yoga practice and not how far you can or cannot bend. Any body can do yoga that’s designed to build your Joy Core foundation, it’s whether or not you have a motivation and willingness to really shift something important in your life for the better that matters.

TESTIMONIAL
Chris Evans
If you were to ask me what the value or the benefit is for me, if I picked one word, it would be a strength. I think there is also a connection to Frances’ values. We have similar values and interests and I like the recommendations that she gives. She’s a wealth of knowledge of certain things, on matters that are relevant and of interest to me, like health and well-being.
