Hormone Yoga Workshop with Samar

Since 1992 Dinah Rodriquez, a now 88 years old Yoga teacher and Dr. Of Psychology from Brazil, researches on the effect of certain yoga practice on the endocrine system. From these studies she developed a set of specific exercises to reactivate the hormone production.

A practice focusing on the glands developed by Dinah Rodriguez works with dynamic exercises on the areas where glands are situated and uses breathing techniques and prana channelizing in Asanas to stimulate the flow of blood and prana in specific areas of the body. It has also shown to lessen the chance of later ailments like Osteoporosis or the chance for Cardio-Vascular diseases. In younger women it helps to improve fertility and to remove premenstrual symptoms.

Hormone yoga also promotes a positive attitude towards the changes of Menopause, to be recognized as a natural and valuable phase leading to wisdom and maturity. A time in which new energies are set free and women can take more time for their own spiritual growth (Varnaprashta)
