Paulette Points To: YOUR NOSE.

Over the years I have received some funny reactions to the remark, breathe in through your nose . I may as well have asked them to breathe in through their ears !!

How many of you have actually thought about your nose and why it is placed in such a prominent place on your face.

We know that the nose is for smelling and smell is one of our five senses. We have established that it gives our face a shape, and that it grows into a bulbous object if we drink too much whiskey!

Time to wake up and smell the coffee, YOUR NOSE IS FOR BREATHING.

Paulette Points To: Nose breathing

Those two openings at the end of your nose are designed to allow the breath to enter the body slowly.
The air is filtered and warmed before it enters the lungs.
Nose breathing encourages the inhalation and the exhalation to be of equal length.
Nasal breathing can balance subtle energy at the space between the eyebrows hence better mental focus.
Nasal breathing has a knock on effect the central nervous system, allowing the body to remain calm.

HOWEVER, There are always exceptions to any rule !

If you are feeling under weather with the flu, just breathe to stay alive.
When you are embarking on your Yoga breathing journey, start slowly and just for a few minutes a day.
Most competitive sport encourage you to inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth.
Don’t dwell on your breathing pattern every moment of the day.
I would not recommend breathing out through the nose while swimming .

Cheers for now ,

Paulette

Welcome to my latest blog, Paulette Points To: !

I have been practicing Yoga for 25 years and highly qualified in many aspects including Yoga Therapy. Even after all of this time, I find myself in a dilemma when I start a beginners class as to how do I explain;

“What is Yoga”

I am starting this blog “Paulette Points To: ” in the hopes that I will be able to share my thoughts on “What is Yoga” in a light hearted but knowledgeable manner, I teach Yoga to all ages from old age pensioners to elite athletes and basically both classes are structured in the same manner with emphasis on breathing, movement with awareness and relaxation.

Personally, Yoga is a lifestyle to me where I have learned to keep my body strong and fit, my joints mobile and spacious, and I feel healthy and happy, without too much effort. I have developed a profound awareness with the energy surrounding me but above all, I have a sense of calmness and a knowing in my own mind that life is meant to be.

This is the key is success and being content with my life.

Over the coming months or possibly years, I will jot down my thoughts and share them with you in this casual blog.

Yoga is Life & Life is Yoga

Cheers for now,

Paulette.

Felix Jones views on SportsYoga.ie

Five Years ago, when I combined Sports and Yoga, I always knew that it would be a revelation for elite athletes. I love the passion, energy and power that surround sport, but I feel that the world of sport training is missing the final chapter that can make the difference. The concept of SportsYoga.ie is to train sports enthusiasts to create balance in their lives. Set the cornerstone of your sporting endeavors on pride, commitment and passion and build a solid foundation in your sporting career of self-belief, free will, ease of movement and equilibrium. Learn to live your sport rather than just play it. Hence my slogan “Take your Sport to another level with SportsYoga.ie”.

“I have unfortunately received a number of career threatening injuries; and have tried a whole range of treatments. I can genuinely say that working with Paulette, owner of SportsYoga.ie and experiencing her visualization sessions has been a revelation for me. I wish I had met her at the beginning of my career! I first met Paulette in an attempt to improve my level of performance by even 1 per cent however what I received was so much more it is hard to quantify.If you are serious about your sport, returning from injury or looking for the extra edge I can definitely recommend working with Paulette, even if it gives you one per cent extra, is that not worth trying?

I would like to wish Felix every success in the IRUPA awards that will be announced in the coming weeks

SportsYoga.ie On The Double In UL

SportsYoga.ie On The Double In UL

I have been teaching my SportsYoga.ie sequence in UL Sport Arena for over two years now and it has gone from strength to strength in terms of numbers attending, regular clients and newbie’s. Due to public demand in UL, I am adding another class every Thursday at 5.15 pm. In general my SportsYoga.ie concept of teaching has soared to an all time high with all classes in my Loft Yoga Studio having reached their ultimate potential and a waiting list in place.

I have designed three different SportsYoga.ie sequences that I vary from week to week so there is never a possibility of boredom setting in amounts my students!! I teach my own style of Yoga based on the fact that I have a diploma in Yoga Therapy and that I have worked with many sports people over the years. I understand their demands and hectic schedule’s, I can read between the lines as to whether an injury is purely physical or combined with emotional pressure.

I have created a brand which is now a buzz word but behind the hype, I teach a slow steady class, allowing the body to recognize the changes, allowing the athlete to accept these changes and that balance in their life is the key to peak performance in their game .

I am also offering Yoga Therapy one to one consultations so please do not hesitate to contact me if you are concerned about performance or recovering from injury .
