Stress Can Kill You

Stress can kill you...

...this is not a metaphor or hyperbole, stress, unchecked is hurting you mentally, physically, and spiritually.  Stress makes you anxious, sick, and tired.  Upwards of 60% of all doctor visits are stress related ailments...digestive problems, muscular tension, headaches, heart palpitations, fatigue, etc.  Then our stress overflows onto our family, friends, and co-workers, and into every crevice of our lives.

You're all very smart and informed people, so I'm sure most of this is not news to you.  You've also probably heard that exercise, meditation, relaxation, eating more nutritious food, getting 7-8 hours of sleep a night, deep breathing, and stretching all help release and ward off the build up of stress hormones.

And it's because we all have built up stress and we all need to release it that these next 6-week yoga and pilates sessions will be focused on that topic.  As we transition into a new schedule, class location, fall season, we'll practice letting go of our resistance to change and opening up to the new things to come.

I look forward to seeing you next week!
