Yoga, meaning “union” in Sanskrit, was designed to bring its practitioners health, happiness and enlightenment. At the practical level, it incorporates physiological and mental techniques concentrating on posture and alignment, stretching, breathing and meditation.

There is extensive documentation that yoga postures exercise the spine and stimulate the lymphatic system, helping to release toxins from the body. These toxins, when allowed to accumulate, result in pain and stiffness in muscles and joints. The physical postures, breathing exercises and meditation practices of yoga have been proven to reduce stress and lower blood pressure. Other long-range health benefits include relief from the symptoms of hypertension, asthma and arthritis, lowered cardiovascular risks and enhanced pain management through awareness of breathing, which helps to achieve calmer, slower respiration and aid in relaxation.

Martha conducts her Yoga Workshop at yoga studios, retreats, spas and health facilities. To find out more about her Yoga Workshop, or any of Martha’s other workshops, or to determine her availability, please use the online form or email Martha directly.
