Hormone Yoga is a new form of yoga that positively influences the endocrine hormone system. This form of yoga was created in the 1990s in Brazil by Dinah Rodrigues and so far is mainly popular throughout Brazil and in German speaking countries.
Hormone Yoga Therapy uses special techniques like dynamic movements, intensive breathing , mind power and concentration, mantras and body locks to intensify the effect of classical yoga postures. This stimulating and massaging effect targets the glandular and nervous systems. It also focuses on energy centres of the body also known as the chakras.
On a hormonal level Yoga therapy helps to relieve the symptoms of PMS and menopause. Oestrogens are not the only hormones produced by the ovaries. Androgens and progesterone are produced too. Well-being in menopause depends at least as much on an adequate level of these hormones. They are produced by organs and body sites other than just the ovaries. These include the adrenal glands, skin, muscles, brain and pineal gland as well as body fat. Thus on a glandular level, hormone yoga can improve the functioning of the endocrine system, thereby diminishing the symptoms of menopause and preventing illnesses.
Special attention is given to strengthening the adrenal glands which will be able to gradually take over hormonal production from the ovaries and produce some of the important feminine hormones. Other glands targeted are the thyroid and parathyroid glands and also the hypothalamus, controller of all the visceral body functions, the pituitary, the master gland, and also the pineal gland, all located in the brain and exerting an important influence on our emotional wellbeing
Hormone yoga therapy uses Hatha yoga poses in a special therapeutic sequence, originally designed by Dinah Rodriguez, a Brazilian yoga teacher. It is also based on Kundalini yoga and the teachings of Yogi Bhajan with his wealth of knowledge of the moon cycles, health, beauty, grace, strength and importance of women in our world. He has given hundreds of sequences of exercises which directly improve women's wellbeing.
Hormone yoga therapy increases life energy, vitality and wellbeing and distributes it to all the cells in the body. It generally helps one to cope better with the challenges of life, and is a holistic option for aging gracefully and effortlessly. Many womem have found that practicing Hormonal-yoga-therapy helps them go through menopause in good health and with minimal symptoms.
