Yoga for Chronic Pain - Benefits of Meditation
Using mindfulness and meditation to address pain can be an impactful tool as it allows us to be aware of our sensations and emotions around the pain without attachment or judgement. It is important to relearn that pain does not have to define us, even if it is a persistent and limiting part of our daily lives.

Yoga for Chronic Pain - Importance of Breathing
Anecdotally, we all know that taking deep breaths can calm us and release tension. This can also help with pain management.
Specifically, relaxing deep and slow breathing has been shown to reduce pain perception. Many of us tend to hold our breath when stressed or in pain but unfortunately this usually only serves to perpetuate the cycle.

Yoga for Chronic Pain
Our pain signals play a critically important role in our health and safety. But when these signals are over active or active longer than is helpful and protective, they can cause significant mental, emotion, and physical dysfunction. The impact can be severely limiting to your normal function.
Whether physical pain from injury, surgery, biomechanical dysfunction or emotional and mental pain from everything life throws at us, yoga can be an incredible tool in your personal arsenal to manage your symptoms and limit its impact on your daily life.

Benefits of Meditation
Especially when starting a meditation practice, the best time is when you are able to set aside the time. Whether it is first thing in the morning, over lunch, after work, or before bed, you will reap the benefits regardless of when you meditate.

Yoga for Injury Prevention
Preventing injury and/or recovering from injury are important aspects of any wellness or fitness routine. But this requires more than simply stretching.
Cross-training is crucially important in the prevention of or subsequent recovery from injuries. Challenging your strength and flexibility in a variety of ways and directions will improve your overall stability and mobility in whatever activity you choose.
