Help relieve stress with Energy Yoga

EarthMind Wellness at Honor's Haven Resort & Spa




Energy Yoga at EarthMind Wellness benefits the mind as well as the body, helping practitioners find relief from tension and anxiety, sleep better at night and even decrease blood pressure. That's why many people use the practice as a stress-easing tool. But what do you do when the people around you are under mental pressure and showing signs of apprehension? Stress can be contagious, and second-hand stress is everywhere you look, from school to work to home. If you're constantly surrounded by friends, family or colleagues who are experiencing anxiety, it will eventually rub off and trigger stress in you. Here are some guidelines for warding off second-hand stress:

Get Into a Regular Yoga Routine

Daily exercise is key in helping you evade anxiety caused by your environment and the people around you. Physical activity such as yoga poses can boost your endorphins, enhance self-confidence and ease symptoms of depression, helping you keep your cool in the face of stress.

Use Breathing Exercises in Emergencies
When tense situations cause your fight or flight response to kick into high gear, deep and focused breathing exercises can help bring you back down to a place of calm and tranquility. When you become stressed, your breathing pattern changes, and you may find yourself taking shallow, small breaths using your shoulders rather than your diaphragm to guide air into your lungs. In EarthMind Wellness classes, students learn energy breathing techniques that involve inhaling and exhaling deeply using the abdomen to increase and guide one's ki and, in turn, help enhance positive energy while pushing out bad energy.


EarthMind Wellness is located at Honor's Haven Resort & Spa in Ellenville NY. Offering a variety of Holistic classes, R&R Getaways, workshops and healing sessions, EarthMind Wellness hopes to contribute in the proliferation of personal health, happiness and peace of the Hudson Valley area.

Live from Love


Let your Heart Blossom at EarthMind Wellness


The Bridge Between Mind & Body

         
         The Heart Chakra expands our energy and sends it in all directions in equal parts.  It also acts to harmonize opposing energies, such as male/female, yin/yang, and emotional/logical.  The heart chakra is located right in the center of the chakra ladder.   There are three chakras above it, and three below.   When the heart chakra, which links the energies of body and mind together, becomes active, you experience a sense of pure love and compassion.  This arises out of a balance of mind and body.

            The heart chakra relates to the human attributes of love, forgiveness, honesty, responsibility, and diligence.   A healthy heart chakra creates a balanced and harmonious energy of love.   It facilitates the balance of logic with emotion, and the real with the ideal, helping you to develop the maturity to be objective and unconditional in your love of others.   You will give and receive love from a centered and balanced place.

Open your heart at the EarthMind Wellness Center and transform through dynamic classes and workshops this summer!
