Yoga for Preventing or Slowing Arthritis
Steffany discusses the research she has preformed in preventing or slowing arthritis.
Meditation
Meditation encourages the activation of our relaxation response, a process opposite the stress response – which is often active when we are in pain. Meditation also encourages us to focus our attention in a present, and non-judgmental fashion to help us more easfully accept our experiences.
Join Dr. Moonaz as she leads you through progressive muscle relaxation and invites you through a sweet and gentle b0dy scan to relax your whole body from head to toe!
In just 13 minutes you can feel rested, rejuvenated, and and a heightened sense of awareness and presence.
