Shelly and Leslie and Gaylene have both recently certified in two different techniques and they would like to announce that both will be available for private yoga sessions using these modalities.

Restorative Yoga

“Taking time out each day to relax and renew is essential to living well.” Judith Lasater, Ph.D., P.T.
Restorative yoga is based on supported physical postures that when practiced regularly, assist in helping to heal the effects of chronic stress.

Stress is the product of the “fight or flight” response. When unchecked the sympathetic nervous system responds by increasing cardiac output, blood pressure, tension in muscles and shallow breathing. Continuous exposure to this kind of chronic stress is harmful to the body’s natural healing proprieties.
The parasympathetic nervous system or relaxation response allows your body to lower blood pressure, heart rate and respiration. This response is also known as the “rest and renew” stage when the body has time to heal and restore.

Shelly feels strongly that we must give ourselves permission to slow down, to get off the “gerbil wheel” or habit of daily stressful living and recover. This can be accomplished by learning skills to begin to take responsibility for our health and regain abundant and purposeful living again. Both Shelly and Gaylene have recently received their Relax and Renew teaching certificates under Judith Lasater, Ph.D., P.T. Both are available for private and group sessions.
Please call 356-6307for Shelly and 356-0404 for Gaylene

ER Yoga

ER yoga is pain relief yoga. Physical pain is many times caused by stress – emotional stress. Isn’t your headache worse when you think about dealing with that difficult person at work? ER or Emotional Recovery Yoga is a three step process: identify individual emotional stresses, remove them quickly, then practicing gentle yoga postures and breathing to help relax the body and anchor the new balanced energy in the body. If the body is relaxed, the body is not in pain. This is how ER yoga works as pain relief.

An ER yoga session is a private individualized session because each person perceives experiences different than anyone else. Leslie is certified in the Emotion Code and this is the protocol used for releasing trapped emotions. A permanent discount for an ER yoga session is available for all students of Rexburg Yoga. $15 for a 45-50 min session. leslie@rexburgyoga.com or 356-9163 for an appointment.
