Yoga, Meditation, and Stress
Stress is a feeling of emotional or physical tension. It can come from any event or thought that makes you feel frustrated, angry, or nervous. Stress is your body's reaction to a challenge or demand. We have all encountered stress. It’s part of human nature. But, stress can cause a lack of energy, poor sleep, and decreased motivation which can make it difficult to overcome emotional exhaustion. Over time, this chronic, stressed-out state can cause permanent damage to your health. Anyone experiencing long-term stress can become emotionally exhausted and overwhelmed. If stress has you anxious, tense, and worried, consider trying Hot Yoga followed by Hot Chakra meditation at SOL SPA.
Meditation has been practiced for thousands of years. Meditation originally was meant to help deepen understanding of the sacred and mystical forces of life. These days, meditation is commonly used for relaxation and stress reduction. Spending even a few minutes in meditation can help restore your calm and inner peace. Meditation is considered a type of mind-body complementary therapy. Meditation can produce a deep state of relaxation and a tranquil mind. During meditation, you focus your attention and eliminate the stream of jumbled thoughts that may be crowding your mind and causing stress. This process may result in enhanced physical and emotional well-being.
The practice of meditation improves levels of energy, especially when performed after yoga. SOL SPA provides a 30 minute Hot Detox Yoga session followed by a 10 minute meditation it calls Hot Chakra.
