Yoga Detox
During Ramadan only, Sara Shalhoub is providing a special Detox Yoga class which involves specific yoga postures to promote stretch & digestion to the body's internal organs which she has created based on personal practice for Ramadan. Most people face digestion issues during this month due to the change of diet, fasting many hours and then feasting over different types of dishes that may cause indigestion. Just like there is a Yoga flow dedicated to hip openers, back bends, or perhaps strength, there are also flows dedicated in depthly to detox as well. This practice may relieve symptoms of fasting such as migraines and fatigue. An additional benefit is a "Mental Detox" for the mind through meditation and breathing techniques.
Class Details: The Detox Class will begin with Pranayama (breathwork) Kapala Bhati referred to as the “breath of fire” , is known for its ability to increase the Agni (digestion) in the system, promoting heat, metabolism, and energy while performing rapid breathing.Most of the yoga postures include twisting and inversions which apply pressure or compression on the digestive organs; while others apply a stretch. These changes in pressure improve circulation, bringing an increased flow of fresh blood to the organs to enhance their natural function. Additionally, these movements work to move food efficiently through the digestive tract. Twisting postures are often used with this intent, moving food along to relieve constipation.
Benefits of Yoga Detox include:
Promotes the elimination of toxins by activating the lymphatic system & improving blood circulation with the postures.
Aids in alleviating digestive problems
Promotes awareness & circulation to the liver, digestive organs and glands.
Provides boosts to the immune system.
