Pranayama Meditation and Yoga

In today’s fast-paced world of convenience and “get it now,” we sacrifice healthy eating habits and daily exercise to keep up with our busy work and social schedules. Heavy doses of caffeine, drive through breakfasts and lunch, processed and packaged meals of empty calories all contribute to disease by stressing the body’s natural processes and will result in obesity, asthma, cancers, colds, premature aging, insomnia, hair loss, diabetes, heart disease, and countless other life threatening ailments. How do we fix this? A simple solution would be to first create a personal diet plan, preferably vegetarian, and practice yoga techniques and breathing exercises.

Our philosophy is based primarily on Ayurveda and supporting science and truly believe that 75% of today’s health issues can be resolved simply by correcting flawed eating habits. If a person switches to an organic and plant-based vegetarian diet, the chances of restoring that person to optimal health will be very high. Adding some exercise such as walking, jogging and yoga will show results much quicker.

Breathing exercises called Pranayama is effective in cleansing the body of toxins. Adding yoga will begin to restore balance in the body’s tissues and restore you to a healthy constitution.

Ayurvedic doctors understand this deep breathing to not only help refresh the body with oxygen but also it is known to increase serotonin levels which can relieve depression, insomnia and chronic anxiety. In fact, regular meditation that includes Pranayama will increase energy, restore normal blood pressure, increase mental function and focus, bolster the immune system and improve mental, emotional and physical endurance.
