Hormone Yoga for Women
Hormone Yoga is the antagonist of Stress.
Hormone Yoga Therapy benefits all those women who are experiencing hormone problems due to several causes and symptoms, such as pre- and post-menopause, exhaustion, breakdown or tiredness, and who need to rebalance their hormone levels.
Being able to stir the functionality of glands (thyroid, hypophysis) and ovaries, this technique is recommended to contrast infertility, ovarian cysts, premenstrual syndrome, thyroid imbalances and other conditions. And it’s also useful to prevent diseases caused by low hormone levels, such as osteoporosis or cardiovascular problems.
Hormone Yoga for Men
Initially conceived for women, the Hormone Yoga Therapy has now a version “for men”, specifically thought around man’s physiology and aimed at reactivating their hormones’ production as well as reducing the common symptoms of low testosterone level, such as tiredness, low sex drive, erectile dysfunction.
Also recommended to learn how to manage stress through regular relaxing exercises based on concentrating and breathing (Pranayama), and very useful to significantly reduce andropause symptoms.
Hormone Yoga for Diabetes
Dinah Rodrigues also created a special Hormone Yoga Therapy sequence for people with diabetes which is a combination of yoga positions, breathing, energizing exercises and Yoga Nidra. All the asanas are performed together with a specific Pranayama practice and focused on massaging suprarenal glands, pancreas, spleen and liver. Those stimulations have an improving effect on the glycemic process. Yoga exercises for diabetes can be easily performed and practiced by any adult or kid affected by Diabetes Mellitus Type 1 or 2. The Hormone Yoga Therapy for Diabetes is a holistic technique that, besides reactivating our insulin production, has a healthy effect on the whole body, especially on kidneys, sight, hypertension and low sex drive.
