REFLEXOLOGY TREATMENTS: The application of appropriate pressure to specific points and areas on the feet, hands and ears. Reflexologists believe that these areas and reflex points correspond to different body organs and systems, where pressure on these points has a beneficial effect on general health and wellbeing.
STRETCHING AND BREATHING: Controlled breathing encourages mental alertness, a sense of calmness and allows oxygen to reach the blood stream more readily. With age the muscles of the body have a tendency to shorten. Unless these muscles are stretched regularly, this can lead to poor posture, decreased range of motion, muscle stiffness and other problems. Self-help stretching exercises taught to improve work-desk posture.
INSTANT RELAXATION: A method of relaxation that focuses the mind on positive images in an attempt to reduce stress and tension. Incorporates focused muscle relaxation and guided visualization.
LAUGHTER THERAPY: (Hasyayoga) is a practice involving prolonged voluntary laughter.

Laughter yoga is done in groups, with eye contact and playfulness between participants. Forced laughter soon turns into real and contagious laughter.

AYURVEDIC TALK: A 5000 year old system of natural healing that has it’s origins in the Vedic culture of India. It is based on the belief that health and wellness depends on a delicate balance between mind, body and spirit. The primary focus is to promote good health rather than fight disease.
