Chair Yoga is a gentle form of yoga promoting relaxation and proper breathing techniques, and is designed for all levels of fitness. Those who may have suffered injuries, are overweight,or have limited range of motion due to aging or disabilities can benefit. It is also beneficial for those with many health issues including hypertension, insomnia, neck and back pain, anxiety,depression, and chronic fatigue syndrome. These “Chair Yoga” positions (asanas) can help stretch your hands,wrists, arms, upper back, hips, low back and feet. These Yoga exercises will strengthen your abdomen, deepen your breath, lower high blood pressure,can eliminate stress with meditation techniques promoting relaxation and may reduce the probability of blood-clot formation in your blood vessels. “Exercise helps the body process and excrete adrenaline and cortisol,two chemicals the adrenal gland creates when the body is under stress. And it stimulates the pituitary gland and hypothalamus to create those feel-good peptides we fondly call endorphins. Endorphins reduce pain and induce a sense of well-being.”- You can also perform these exercises in your office,in an airplane seat,in your home or.... anywhere else. ------------------ I have been so grateful for your choice to practice my "Carol's Gentle HathaYoga" classes with me.

FOR MORE INFORMATION CONTACT: CAROL OVEROSS ___________________ ---------------------------------------------------------------- STAY TUNED FOR... ANOTHER FUN-FILLED "PARTNER/BUDDY YOGA SESSION" held by Poplular demand, SUMMER, 2020 -DATE - TBA... @4-5:30 PM .Partner Yoga is a unique physical and spiritual practice which combines powerful techniques and exercises from yoga, dance and martial arts. And can be a fun way to connect with others! Partner Yoga use various movements and poses (asanas) to focus the mind and increase strength, stamina and flexibility. The physical poses are combined with potent breathing techniques (prananyams) which help release tension and promote the free flow of subtle energies (prana). All Partner Yoga exercises use the buddy system to dissolve tension and establish a natural state of harmony in body, mind, emotion, and spirit. In Partner Yoga, much attention has been given to the importance of touch… and intimacy. Touch is seen as a basic human need that, in our modern busy lifestyle, is generally not satisfied. Partner Yoga offers a system that treats touch and intimacy as integral parts of our mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Remember how good a HUG feels? In poses and exercises, partners rely on each other's support to keep correct body alignment, balance, and concentration. In a deeper sense, this physical support fosters deeper feelings of nurture and acceptance. When you feel safe and supported you develop the courage to trust others and the strength to confront your fears and ... embrace your true self. Partner Yoga can be practiced by anyone. Partner Yoga offers something unique to couples, parents and kids, and friends. For couples, practicing Partner Yoga is a great way to strengthen the relationship by fortifying trust and communication and/or deepening intimacy. It is also a wonderful activity for parents and kids to share. Partner Yoga postures like the "Cat/Cow" and the "Downward Facing Dog" are a fun and creative ways for us to learn about their bodies and the importance of physical exercise. Friends can use Partner Yoga to help each other stay Motivated and committed to their wellness plan. Practicing yoga with a partner is uplifting and inspiring, and helps raise both people to new heights. The movements and poses in Partner Yoga require 100% participation from two people. Some poses challenge your balance, strength and flexibility; others require your total trust and surrender. Each exercise and breathing technique uses the power of the partner dynamic to achieve more than one person could alone. From creative exercise to profound spiritual work, Partner Yoga delivers a diverse range of benefits to a wide array of people. This well rounded workshop requires no special equipment and once learned can be done in any open space (your living room, gym, or park). So, grab a partner and take a trek into the new frontier called “Partner Yoga.” ”Partner/Buddy Yoga” is ultimately… A Journey Back to your True Self! ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Please contact Carol Oveross, R.Y.T.

That I failed to do but nevertheless was so greatly enriched by the experience of making it, and by the friendship we shared. Long live Sujata and Asoka!" "I have been thinking of Sujata and Asoka quite a bit lately... and just discovered this and am so delighted. I had studied dance and even had done some performing with them many years ago when they had their tea room and shop at Pacificulture Asia Museum in Pasadena, California. They profoundly impacted my life. The last I knew of their whereabouts was when they moved to Sedona... I would love to know more." "Thank you for posting this video!! I loved seeing these beautiful performances and interview with my precious friends of years ago. I also danced in their group at the Pacificulture Asia Museum in Pasadena, CA years ago.
