I have my own movement and yoga company Christina Hop. Movement classes by Christina Hop is a transformative practice of the body and mind. Through asanas (body posture), pranayama (breath), meditation and diet we engage and challenge the body and mind to balance. You will get guidance in technique and positioning, so you will be able to build a safe and sustainable practice. The classes will challenge and enlighten you while building a strong, lean, resilient body. You will learn tools to empower your life, how a steady routine of activities and attitudes can transform our bodies, our brain functions, our emotions, and our experience of life.
Yoga was created as a science for liberation, but in modern times it is used by many to improve physical and mental health, helping us become more productive at work, more caring in relationships, more responsible contributors to society, and better inhabitants of this planet.
By now, we all know how important it is to move a little bit every day, and to exercise a few times per week. We are moving beings, so daily movement will help us feel like we are put back together and improves our brain healthy and fitness.
Beyond this, affects many of the functions that our brain oversees; stress, anxiety, hormone function, sleep, digestion, blood pressure, sexual appetite, body temperature, mood, yarning capacities, memory, executives functions, expression of compassion and empathy and aging.
The mind and body is intelligent; it knows what it needs to do. The answer is in you! If we behave and live in such a way that we support that intelligence, the body and mind will restore itself to balance.
