Riana Yoga Singapore - Iyengar Yoga Singapore

🌻We use chairs, ropes, blocks in our yoga classes not because we don’t know how to do the pose, but to be more engaged in the pose, to do and feel the pose better.
🌻Yoga props help to awaken our muscles, our senses and our minds as we stay in the pose.
🌻Props help us to regulate our breath, bring our attention inwards and keep the mind from being tense when practicing more challenging poses.
🧘🏻‍♀️This inward journey to ourselves, to be aware of our physical and mental state can only be made possible by consistency in Yoga practice.
🧘🏻‍♀️Do not look for big and fast rewards. The rewards from your yoga practice will naturally come as when you practice with a pure mind.
🧘🏻‍♂️Live and cherish the present moment. 🙏🏻

🌿The feeling of ‘tight hips’ is common and some of the causes are:
1. Sitting for long hours and/or
2. Stress

🌿When you sit for hours, your hips are in a flexed position. The Hip Flexors (front of hip) become short and tight.

🌿The main muscle here, the Psoas major, that connects your spine to your leg, is in a chronically shortened state.

🌿The Psoas major also connects to the diaphragm and your “fight-or-flight” nervous system via fascia, creating a direct link between your breathing, core stability and movement.

🌿When you are chronically stressed or anxious, your Psoas has a tendency to contract and guard. This creates a physical sensation of deep, visceral tightness in the front of the hips.

🌿Releasing the hips through yoga poses such as baddha konasana, eka pada raja kapotasana (pigeon pose) mobilise the hips and release stress.

🧘🏻‍♀️Pranayama is the practice of conscious breathing to regulate energy, calm the mind, and balance the nervous system.
🧘🏻‍♂️With regular practice, breathwork can help reduce stress, improve focus, increase energy, support emotional balance, and create a deeper connection between body and mind.

🕊️This course is suitable for beginners, yoga practitioners, teachers, or anyone looking to improve their wellbeing through safe and guided breathing practices.
🧘🏻‍♂️🧘🏻‍♀️Conducted as a weekly progressive course, each session is designed to help you develop gradually with proper guidance—making the practice safe, effective, and sustainable for long-term growth.🙏🏻 MeditationPractice Mindfulness NervousSystemHealing StressRelief MentalClarity InnerBalance YogaPractice YogaSingapore WellnessJourney HolisticHealth BreathAwareness CalmMind SelfHealing YogaCommunity PranayamaClass
