Yoga with Niamh

Yoga is a mind-body practice that combines physical postures, breathing exercises, and meditation. It offers a holistic way to improve mobility and strength whilst building ease in the body and mind.

 

Improved Mobility and Flexibility: Yoga’s postures help improve joint and muscle flexibility, reduce stiffness, and promote better movement.

 

Strengthening Muscles: Many yoga poses help strengthen core muscles and improve posture. This reduces the strain on joints, providing structural support and minimizing discomfort.

 

Stress Reduction: Yoga’s calming effect on the nervous system through breath work and mindfulness, helps reduce the body’s stress response, lowering cortisol levels and promoting relaxation.

 

Endorphin Release: Practicing yoga can trigger the release of endorphins—our natural feel good and pain-relieving chemicals in the body. This can improve mood and reduce pain perception.

 

Body Awareness: Yoga promotes mindfulness and body awareness, helping individuals tune into their bodies, recognise pain triggers, and adjust movements or postures to reduce discomfort.
