What distinguishes Critical Alignment Yoga from other yoga styles?

Yoga is most often associated with asanas and breathing techniques, static and dynamic meditations designed to improve health, give more energy, relieve tension, resist stress, improve concentration and attention to oneself and others. Critical Alignment Yoga meets all these criteria and gives a person the opportunity to deeply study their body, from spinal functions to psychological reasons causing body deformation. The practice has a therapeutic effect and works with existing injuries and spinal problems (hernias, protrusions, scoliosis), as well as pain of unknown origin. The Critical Alignment method uses special equipment to release and stretch different parts of the spine, which changes rigid bone and muscle structures.

The Transformative Power of Yoga

«Yoga not only changes how we see things, it transforms the person who sees». This is the so-called psychosomatics - when the body reacts to our mental behavior and state. The body always changes under the influence of the psyche. This is an inevitable fact recognized by both modern medicine and traditional Eastern medicine, particularly Indian Ayurveda.

Body Awareness

Few people allow themselves the luxury of stopping and listening to their own body. Yet it 'shouts' not only when it experiences hunger or pain. Often, amidst all the busyness, it's easy to miss signals indicating that the body is at its limit, exhausted. But if they are ignored, everything can result in a serious illness. Developing body awareness allows one to establish better contact with their own body.

Signs of Mentally Strong People

They accept reality as it is and face challenges directly. They are aware that they are responsible for their own lives. They understand themselves well, which helps them understand others. They can learn from their past hurts and experiences. They have a clear understanding of what they can control and what they cannot. They are fair, meaning they love and respect those who deserve it and do not waste resources (time, money, energy) on toxic people and are not willing to tolerate their inappropriate behavior. They can say 'no' without feeling guilt or shame. How many of these points match with you?

Remember, most stress comes from how you react

Remember, most of the stress in your life comes from how you react, not from how life is. Change your attitude. Change your perspective. Look for the good in everything. Learn the lesson and seek opportunities for growth. Let go of all unnecessary stress, worries, and excessive thoughts.

The result: regular alcohol consumption causes the brain to age and shrink. The damage to memory is not linear—the more you drink, the greater the damage. Half a mug takes 6 months from the brain, a whole mug 2 years, and two mugs a whole 10 years. Now scientists want to find out what is worse: drinking a can a day or drinking seven cans on a Friday for the entire week.
