ABOUT G-YOGA HORMONAL THERAPY

What is Hormonal Yoga and how was it created?
​
Yoga for Hormones has existed since 1990s. In 1992 the Brazilian phycologist, Dinah Rodrigues, at the age of 40, started studying the menopause and created a technique called HORMONE YOGA THERAPY FOR MENOPAUSE to help women with their menopause symptoms.
​
She studied the menopause from its several aspects. Dinah used the physiology of female hormones as the base to select asanas and pranayama to reactivate the hormonal glands.
How does it work?
​
Yoga for Hormones integrates physical asanas (=yoga poses) from “Hatha Yoga” with the energetic “Kundalini Yoga”. The dynamic exercises and asanas are supported with intensive pranayama (=breathing exercises) that activate prana (=life energy centers) and bandhas (=body locks that contain the released energy in the body).
Through various breathing like Bhattarai and Ujjayi Pranayama, pranas are directed to specific endocrine glands. This technic creates an effect on glands such as pituitary, thyroid, adrenals, and ovaries that participate in hormones production. When the glands do not produce enough hormones, the whole-body system may get out of control, and diseases may develop that can affect many aspects of a woman’s life.
G-YOGA Therapy for Hormonal Balance
​
At G-YOGA Therapy we practice active breathing and Tibetan
energy techniques along with the dynamic asanas to activate and
massage all the glands that participate in hormones production and consequently eliminate the symptoms caused by low and imbalanced hormones.
In addition, in G-YOGA we do restorative, relaxing asanas, meditation and savasana (=final relaxation) that have a positive influence to prevent stress, which is harmful for the production of the main female hormones estrogen and progesterone. It is a holistic practice.
Besides the effect on the hormones, it also has a positive impact on the metabolism, the immune system, and the circulation. Increased
hormone production can also prevent diseases such as osteoporosis or cardiovascular diseases.
