A
specialty of Pathways Yoga Training, "Body Awareness",
a wellness approach that optimizes the physical, psychological
well-being and spiritual aspects of each student, allows Pathways
teachers to provide customized programs that work with your doctors
and therapists recommendations.
BODY
AWARENESS
The
Body Awareness technique is a slow, wave-like motion with the
focus on combining breathing and body movements while maintaining
your concentration on how your body feels at each "pressure-point"
of change in the exercise.
It should be an isolated movement with the rest of the body as
totally relaxed as possible. This is a form of moving meditation,
which requires the practioner to use mental as well as physical
energy to do each exercise properly.
Doing
this form of practice daily will have the ultimate accomplishment
of letting the practioner become aware of the exact places
of discomfort/pain in the body. It will help to identify strong
and stress relieving areas surrounding those places that can be
used to facilitate healing. Gradually, (depending on the time,
focus and dedication of the practioner) one learns the exercises
that help the most and can then begin to formulate a personal
exercise routine.
Unfortunately,all
problems cannot be totally healed, but this form of exercise will
bring attention to areas that need to be addressed and/or help
to prevent any further deterioration of those areas.
The
practitioner will then be aware of needing to:
1.
Do new or additional exercises.
2.
Go to a health practitioner for aid before the problem can accelerate
into distress.
Remember
that the goal of this program is self-awareness. The combination
of physical (body and breath) movements and mental concentration
help to focus each practice internally. Stress reduction will
be a natural result of these exercises.
