Cubex hosts its first 'BrainPower' Yoga Workshop
This February we hosted our first ‘BrainPower’ Yoga workshop which focused on using breath to manage the stressful symptoms experienced by those suffering with tinnitus. The event was held as part of Tinnitus Awareness Week organised by the British Tinnitus Association, aimed at raising awareness of tinnitus and the various ways of supporting those living with tinnitus.The free taster 'BrainPower' Yoga workshop was guided by the highly experienced and inspiring yogini, Henrietta Greene who emphasised the importance of repeated practice of deep breathing and the need to challenge ourselves both mentally and physically for maintaining a healthy brain.We look forward to sharing some of the tools and techniques practiced on the day with you over the next few months, so that you can try these at home. We are also look forward to announcing future dates for ‘Brain Power’ yoga workshops in the near future – watch this space!Thanks to everyone who attended and supported the BTA. We hope you started the weekend feeling grounded, more clear minded and positive. We certainly did![vision_divider style="hr-solid"]
Hearing Loss, Tinnitus and the Yoga Connection
How you think and act on daily basis has a direct influence on the chemical composition of your brain. Regular yoga practice is key for changing old negative habits and re-wiring our brain to learn new ways to react to life’s stressors. Mindful breathing, muscle stretching and meditation all contribute to healthy cognitive function.Yoga is an exercise which is accessible to just about everybody and is being increasingly introduced as part of our hearing and tinnitus treatment plans, aimed at reducing stress and negative psychological impacts caused by hearing conditions.Henrietta will be joining us at Cubex this Friday afternoon, 18th March, to help us support Brain Awareness Week and we have just 5 complimentary one-to-one pranayama sessions to share with you. So, if you are free on Friday and would like to explore this mindful practice with Henrietta, please call Fatima on 0207 935 5511 to reserve a slot. Sessions are available on a first come first served basis. Alternatively, take a look at this weeks special offer on 'Brain Power' Yoga for Beginners.[vision_divider style="hr-solid"]
Comments from our students
"I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the breathing exercises you organised with Henrietta in aid of Tinnitus Awareness Week. As you know coping with tinnitus requires a mixture of several different techniques both physical and mental. Events such as you organised can only help and perhaps one on medication might be worth considering. " - Mr Hugh Wauton
"Thank you all for a very enlightening experience on Friday. It was very interesting! Thank you all for your kindness." - Mrs Beryl Gaylor
