Yoga Terapia Hormonal para mujeres

El cuerpo es capaz de producir hormonas por si mismo. La brasileña, Dinah Rodrígues, desarrolló en los años 90 una serie de ejercicios de yogaterapia hormonal a partir de diferentes tradiciones de yoga, como yoga hatha, kundalini y yoga energético tibetano. Un estudio científico para verificar los efectos del yoga hormonal demostró que la concentración hormonal de las personas que participaron en el ensayo ascendió un 254% en cuatro meses: disminuyeron los sofocos, desparecieron las depresiones y el mal humor, y se aliviaron otros síntomas. El yoga hormonal no sólo influye positivamente sobre el nivel hormonal, sino que alivia los síntomas que acompañan a los desarreglos hormonales. Las asanas practicadas con regularidad ayudan a mantener el peso ideal, a disminuir los cólicos menstruales, a mejorar el ánimo, a acelerar las curaciones de miomas, quistes, prevenir cáncer de mama, etc… El yoga hormonal es muy beneficioso para todas las mujeres a partir de los 35 años, pero especialmente para: Mujeres con dificultades de fertilidad Mujeres son síntomas relacionados con la menstruación Mujeres en menopausia Osteoporosis Profesora: Claire Ingrid Suanzes Rey, terapeuta de shiatsu y drenaje linfático desde 1993, formada en Austria, Holanda y España. Profesora de yoga desde 1989, formada en Canada y Austria. Trabaja en el Centro Crealliance en Madrid. Está formada en yoga hormonal Dinah Rodrigues e imparte cursos de esta especialidad desde 2010.

The learning through the head help us to understand deeply of what is happening around us and in the world. Understanding and deeply questioning the reality presented to us is a way to liberate ourselves from it. Heart: listening to what we are feeling when we engage ourselves in nature and her stories. Allowing the heart to feel the love, joy, compassion or the feeling of sadness & fear allowing ourselves to feel the pain ourselves, the world & Mother Earth. We will use the activities of The Work That Reconnect of Joanna Macy and other practices to help our heart to learn deeply. We need the learning through our heart to bring about transformation at a deep level. Hand: Mindfully working with nature in the garden. When we are mindful we love, respect and connect as we are physically engaged. Practical work help us to ground our believes, philosophy and vision.
