HOLISTIC YOGA & MASSAGE THERAPY 

Combining hatha, pranayama and kundalini yoga asanas with yoga nidra (deep relaxation),Jacqualine takes a heart centered approach to practice integrating a meditative, deeply healing guidance that consciously allows the layers of tension and resistance from the body and mind to fall away, creating a balance of core strength, flexibility and centeredness. This state organically prevents the build up of stress amd negativity,often caused by day to day life,from causing further harm. On a deeper level, practice also helps to resolve feelings of seperation, pain, anxiety and isolation. As qualities of inner balance and self acceptance arise through the practice, a sense of belonging, peace and renewal are naturally restored.

Yoga addresses the needs of your body for movement, relaxation and alignment with the needs of your mind for psychological satisfaction and balance. The balance and integration of your body and mind naturally nourishes your emotional well-being, and as one thing leads to another, your spiritual nature, your sense of soul is affirmed in this steady, relaxed inner environment that practice creates. 

Many physical and psychological imbalances are caused by the disassociation with our core, fundamental energy and lack of self awareness. Yoga helps us to remember ourselves and give loving attention to our life supporting consciousness.  Yoga is a force for healing and the benefits can also effectively support recovery from long term imbalance such as ME, panic attacks, depression, insomnia, Bi-polar and all stress related disorders.

Focus on Meditation
Meditation is at the very heart of yoga practice, and indeed the purpose of yoga was designed as a preparation for meditation, when your nervous system, muscles, and internal organs are brought into a calm sense of equilibrium creating a balanced foundation for concentration on the more subtle aspects of the mind, and of being.
The benefits of meditation are becoming more and more respected and acknowledged as the key to preventing and dissolving psychological stress whihc in turn calms many phsysical symptoms of stress such as heart disease and diabetes.
We all have one thing in common; we all want to be happy. Many people who may have ill health appear very happy, yet others who appear to be healthy in body, may be unhappy. The mind can be a great healer, a powerful and effective influence in our lives.
