🌟 Friday Fun Fact! 🌟

Did you know there's a science-backed optimal time to practice yoga and meditation? πŸ•’βœ¨

Science Says: Research shows that practicing yoga and meditation in the early morning or late afternoon is ideal. In the morning, around 6-8 AM, our bodies are naturally energized, and morning light helps regulate our circadian rhythms, boosting mood and alertness. Late afternoon, around 4-5 PM, is when our body temperature peaks, muscles are more flexible, and reaction times are quickest.

Yoga Philosophy: Historically, yogis recommend practicing during the Brahma Muhurta (about 1.5 hours before sunrise) for spiritual growth and mental clarity. This time is considered most conducive for meditation and deep, mindful practice.

Benefits: Regular practice during these times can help maintain flexibility, strengthen muscles, reduce stress, and improve overall health. It aligns your body and mind with natural rhythms, promoting balance and well-being.

⭐Anytime is a Good Time: Remember, the best time to practice is the time that fits your schedule and feels right for you! Consistency is key, so find a time that works and make yoga a part of your daily routine.

Join us at PranaShanti Yoga Centre and find the perfect time to elevate your practice! Check out our schedule and discover classes that fit your optimal practice time.

🌟 Teacher Feature: Venus 🌟

Born with a naturally busy mind, Venus was always on the go, constantly in motion and unable to slow down. The mere thought of trying yoga and sitting still was daunting, as she believed high-intensity exercises were the only ways to release built-up energy. Initially hesitant to try yoga due to her fast-paced lifestyle, Venus soon found that yoga brought a sense of calmness, improved sleep, and helped her build stronger relationships with others and herself.

Always eager to explore new ways of relaxation, she discovered sound healing and completed a course in the practice. Now, she incorporates gongs, crystal bowls, and other percussive instruments into her yoga practice, offering a unique approach to relaxation and a deeply restorative experience.

Having practiced yoga for over ten years, Venus continues to share her love of yoga and sound healing with others to guide them towards a greater sense of calmness and inner peace. Her journey proves that even the busiest minds can find solace and stillness through the practice of yoga and other healing modalities.

Come join Venus on the mat and experience the healing benefits of yoga and sound healing for yourself. πŸ§˜β€β™€οΈπŸ””βœ¨

🌞✨ Happy Summer Solstice from PranaShanti Yoga Centre! ✨🌞

Today marks the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year, filled with abundant sunlight and vibrant energy. As we embrace this beautiful seasonal change, we are reminded of the power and grace of nature's cycles.

🌿 Meaning of the Summer Solstice 🌿
The Summer Solstice is a time to celebrate the peak of the sun's power, a moment to honour light, growth, and transformation. It’s a perfect time to reflect on our personal growth and set new intentions as we continue our journey.

πŸ§˜β€β™€οΈ Yoga and the Summer Solstice πŸ§˜β€β™‚οΈ
Yoga teaches us to connect with the rhythm of nature, and the Summer Solstice is an ideal moment to deepen this connection. Practicing sun salutations (Surya Namaskar) can help harness the energy of the sun, rejuvenate your spirit, and align your body with the natural flow of the universe.

🌿 Ayurveda and Seasonal Change 🌿
According to Ayurveda, the Summer Solstice is a time of Pitta dosha, characterized by heat, intensity, and transformation. Balance this energy with cooling foods, calming practices, and plenty of hydration. Embrace the season by eating fresh fruits, leafy greens, and practicing gentle, restorative yoga.

Join us at PranaShanti Yoga Centre as we celebrate the Summer Solstice with special classes and workshops designed to harmonize your mind, body, and spirit with the rhythms of nature.

🌞 Let’s welcome the light, embrace the warmth, and grow together this summer! 🌞

🌟 Friday Fun Fact! 🌟

Did you know? Yoga can help slow down the aging process!✨

Research has shown that practicing yoga has numerous benefits that can contribute to healthier aging. Here are some science-backed facts:

⭐Improves Cellular Health: A study published in the journal Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity found that yoga and meditation can reduce oxidative stress, which is a major contributor to cellular aging. Lower oxidative stress levels mean healthier cells and potentially a longer lifespan.

⭐Boosts Telomere Health: Telomeres are the protective caps at the ends of our chromosomes, and their length is an indicator of biological aging. Shorter telomeres are associated with aging and disease. Research published in Frontiers in Psychology demonstrated that yoga and meditation can increase telomerase activity, an enzyme that helps maintain telomere length, thereby slowing the aging process at a cellular level.

⭐Enhances Brain Function: As we age, maintaining cognitive function becomes crucial. A study in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease found that practicing yoga can improve brain function, particularly in areas related to memory and attention. This can help keep your mind sharp as you age.

⭐Reduces Inflammation: Chronic inflammation is linked to many age-related diseases, such as heart disease and arthritis. A study in the Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology showed that regular yoga practice can significantly reduce levels of inflammatory markers in the body, promoting overall health and longevity.

⭐Improves Flexibility and Balance: Maintaining physical flexibility and balance is essential for preventing falls and injuries as we age. Research in the International Journal of Yoga found that yoga significantly improves flexibility and balance, contributing to better mobility and a lower risk of falls.
