Enhance your fitness and productivity in a healthy and balanced way.
When exercising, no matter how, your heart beats faster to deliver more blood and oxygen to your working cells. The way you breathe determines how much oxygen your red blood cells can carry and, most importantly, how much they can deliver to your brain, lung, heart and muscles. If you are wondering how to balance your life, commitments and health, we can help. Book a place in a class, or contact us to make an appointment. |
Lunch time fatigue, exercise induced weariness and sore muscles can spoil your good intentions to get fit.
You may wonder what is best: restorative stretching, core strength or cardio workout. Maybe all you need is to burn some calories and refresh your mind with a short, high-intensity workout to release those happy hormones or endorphins. A Sustainable Health consultation will help you to identify the most effective way to exercise and ensure you get fit without injury. Should you become a morning or evening exerciser? Whether your emphasis is on strength, flexibility, endurance or mental alertness, your ability to perform is also dependent on nutrition and hydration. Exercise physiologists and clinical nutritionists are a rich source of information when it comes to water and food induced depletion of energy. When considering your fitness options, how much thought do you give to your breathing? Find out how we can help you get fit with SMART Breathing. |
Whether you are an employer or employee, what gets you out of bed are two things: your primary relationship and your job, i.e. the way you support your existence.
Disengagement can make you feel insular, stressed; you may be reluctant to change, or overwhelmed by it. You may feel all control rests with others. There are stressors such as retrenchment, mortgages, global financial insecurity, relationship strain and lack of support. Find out how we can help you to improve your health, sense of well-being and performance. Learn how to self regulate on a moment-to-moment basis, on the job or task, bringing your body and mind into optimal alignment, where you feel relaxed, alert and responsive instead of tense, alarmed and reactive. Content people lead satisfying lives, creating functional communities and prosperous countries. Sustain your financial success and your relationships. We can help individuals and business teams learn how to take the right breath, think with clarity, and make the right decisions. |
Multitasking and sustaining a sense of self – physically, mentally and emotionally – is not easy when you're raising a family.
When you don’t have family around to give you a hand, or your partner may need to work long hours or be away from home, and you may be trying to stay in the workforce as well, taking a deep breath does not always solve the problem. Recognising that breath-holding and sighing are signs that you may not be as efficient as you thought is the start to improving your wellbeing. Sleep is often short and thus, using basic sleep hygiene and ensuring optimal breathing while asleep can help you wake up more refreshed and be less exhausted at the end of the day. Using key SMART Breathing techniques to help you keep your calm when the kids are being ratty will enable you to parent effectively. Most importantly, children learn by example. If you can be healthy, vital and vibrant no matter what life presents, your family will benefit. Take care of yourself for a change and join one of our classes to learn SMART Breathing techniques for your wellbeing. |
