Yoga tailored just for you - Sitting yoga

Yoga is an ancient practice that promotes physical and psychological health and vitality. Yoga therapy is known to almost everybody and is a very popular health practice. Unfortunately conventional yoga practice with its high impact acrobatics is not a feasible option for many.

A unique practice of Sitting yoga developed by Dr. Tatyana Yakovleva is a low-impact option developed for people with:

• Spinal and joint problems
• Complications in cardiovascular and respiratory systems
• Asthma
• Low energy levels due to depression, mood swings, and panic attacks
• Fatigue
• Limited mobility

Through novel, gentle breathing exercises and moderate but precise stretching, Sitting yoga:

• Improves the elasticity and strength of muscles and reducing the risk of fractures and sprains
• Improves aliment of the spine and joints, decreasing discomfort and pain
• Improves circulation of blood and lymph throughout the body, easing the passage of nutrients to the organ's tissues and energizing the body
• Reduces stress, balances mood, and increases the sense of well-being

On average, patients who join this course report feelings of overall revitalization, improvement in breathing and flexibility, decreased discomfort, and improved performance after 10 sessions of Sitting yoga.
