Ancient Herbs The Energy Yoga routine has been matched with Bioglan Matcha Ginseng, a combination of two ancient herbs traditionally used for energy, alertness and performance.

Energy Imagine waking up and jumping out of bed with truck loads of energy that lasted the whole day through. Sadly for most of us that is a big leap for our creative abilities. Where is this mysterious energy? How do we cultivate it, keep it and use it to get the most out of life?

There are many things that deplete our energy stores:Poor eating habits, sluggish digestion, adrenal fatigue, emotional reactivity, excess multitasking or lack of single pointed concentration on one task, being stuck in a sympathetic nervous system cortisol looping pattern, chest and mouth breathing, excess muscular tension, not sleeping before 11pm to support the appropriate organ cycles, too many dietary stimulants and the list goes on…

What is the best way to address these drains on our precious juju with yoga?

We can use poses to squeeze into and release the kidneys and adrenals to activate the parasympathetic nervous system allowing for calm, centred energy throughout the day. These postures will do just that and can be performed either at the start or the end of the day to protect and cultivate our precious energy.
