Breathing Techniques and Full Yogic Breath

I have found a new passion to add to my toolbox in teaching Yoga

I love the nurturing energy & self awareness of Reiki and tapping into the mind for breaking habits & focusing on positive change with Hypnotherapy. Knowing a bit more about the body/mind through Yoga for breathing, stretching, releasing, strengthening & energising feels like the icing on the cake! All 3 provide healing, stress relief and so much more for the body, mind & spirit.

I recently completed my Yoga Teacher Training practical & theory exams with Union Yoga Ayurveda http://www.unionyogaayurveda.com.sg to whom which I am deeply grateful. They teach a traditional form of Yoga from ‘Patanjali’s 8 limbs’ of Yoga where the Asana’s (postures) are only one of the limbs. Subsequently my Yoga classes will involve breathing techniques, Asana’s, Pranayama (channeling energy using the breath as a tool) and a little meditation.

I have completed my 30hours of teaching for the American Yoga Alliance Teaching Cert. & I would like to complete 80 hours for the Indian Teaching Cert. I am offering Yoga by Donation which will go to the Alzheimers Association of Singapore in memory of my Mum and the Paramhansa Organisation in India which is linked to my Yoga organisation. I will be doing this until around September 2016. If you are interested please email me inspirationhealing@icloud.com and we can discuss options. I am happy to run group sessions and/or individual sessions depending on requests.

A Good Nights Sleep

A bit about sleep

Rapid eye movement or REM sleep is responsible for the rest and rejuvenation we get from sleep. It is thought that this is the sleep phase where dreams occur and it is important for our mental and emotional health. Bursts of REM sleep are said to last for about 30mins and occur on average five to seven times a night.

The pattern of sleep in human beings varies during different ages. Sleeping mostly at night starts as early as the first few weeks of life and continues most of our life. In old age the pattern begins to break down as people sleep less at night and nap during the day.

Sleep deprivation has huge impact on our life leading to loss of wellbeing. It may start with irritability, stress, loss of concentration and fatigue and progress to more serious issues. Too little and too much sleep are both associated with an earlier death. Both the quality and the amount are important, with between five to nine hours correlating to the longest lifespan.
