Reposturing Yoga

Reposturing Yoga helps you develop flexibility in your whole body, but allows you to pay specific attention to key result areas. They were created along with the Reposturing Dynamics techniques as exercises to improve posture and maintain work already done.

Reposturing Yoga teaches you how to improve your posture by achieving visible, measurable, immediate, and long lasting improvements with specific instructions and exercises, such as proper walking & running techniques.

Reposturing Yoga and Sports Performance

The various stretch sequences, and unique breathing system can have immediate measurable enhancements for both recreational and competitive athletes.

1. The Stretch
At the cellular level, a muscle’s natural response to a stretch is to relax. With REPOSTURING YOGA, we lengthen the muscles with a unique sequence of stretches for each muscle group. Research has shown that longer, more relaxed muscles perform and recover better than short stiff muscles.

2. The Breath
"When you breathe while you stretch the muscle, you get 2% more relaxation...." said Jack Meager, author of Sportsmassage and also Official Masseur of the U.S. Olympic Equestrian Team in 1980.

In a brief conversation with Jack Meagher, Aaron Parnell learned about the Reposturing Yoga Element that makes Reposturing Yoga powerful and effective. The full breath inhale with an open-mouth exhale, intensifies the muscle response when combined with the stretch. It goes further to minimize pain, while it maximizes range of motion, optimize ease of movement, minimize recovery time and, most important, make your body athletically more effective and more energy efficient.

Reposturing Yoga and Esthetic Enhancements / Cosmetic Improvements

The effects of stress, tension, poor movement habits, sleep patterns, and dietary choices take a toll on your body in the aging process.

Some of the net effects that time and gravity have on these elements in your body are:

Tension lines and creases in the face.
Tilting and pouching in the tummy and derriere.
Excess fat and water deposits in the thighs, and arms.
Rounded shoulders, hump-back, neck jowls.
Saggy breasts, or too small or too large for your body.
"Beer belly" and "inner tube" in mid-section for men.
Getting shorter, more hunched over with age.

REPOSTURING YOGA is a safe, effective way to restore your body's natural tension balance and movement patterns in every area of your body.

Many of the stretches and exercises you can do yourself with the handy Reposturing Yoga Training program guide. Just turn to the Key Result Area you'd like to focus on and follow instructions from there.

Although there is much that you can do for yourself, there is still more Reposturizing work that should only be done with the help of a certified REPOSTURING YOGA practitioner. By working with REPOSTURING YOGA, you'll be able to get specific results in key result areas over a short period of time, usually over a few month's time. What's more, these changes happen gradually, and are usually long-lasting. The natural treatments with your certified practitioner are visible, measurable, and usually immediate with every session. They require no drugs, no surgery, and there are virtually no negative side effects.

With REPOSTURING YOGA treatments, you'll see cosmetic and aesthetic improvements such as:

Get taller.
Body more proportional, aesthetically more balanced.
Relaxed facial lines.
Neck jowls disappear.
Shoulders elevated.
Bust line raised, size and shape improved.
Tummy or beer belly and inner tube flattened.
Body lines more sleek.
Arms and thighs more firm.
