Have you tried yoga?

Yoga, an ancient practice combining physical postures, breathing techniques, and meditation, offers a wide range of benefits for the body, mind, and spirit. Here’s a concise list of its key advantages:
  • Improves Flexibility: Regular practice stretches muscles and increases range of motion, reducing stiffness and improving mobility.
  • Builds Strength: Yoga poses engage and tone muscles, enhancing overall strength and endurance, particularly in the core, arms, and legs.
  • Enhances Posture: Promotes body awareness and alignment, helping correct slouching and reducing strain on the spine.
  • Reduces Stress: Breathing exercises and meditation lower cortisol levels, calming the mind and promoting relaxation.
  • Boosts Mental Health: Improves mood, reduces anxiety, and helps manage depression through mindfulness and stress relief.
  • Increases Balance and Coordination: Poses like tree or warrior improve stability, reducing the risk of falls, especially in older adults.
  • Supports Heart Health: Lowers blood pressure, improves circulation, and reduces cholesterol, contributing to cardiovascular wellness.
  • Relieves Pain: Eases chronic pain, such as back pain or arthritis, by improving alignment, flexibility, and muscle strength.
  • Enhances Sleep Quality: Promotes relaxation and reduces insomnia, leading to deeper, more restful sleep.
  • Boosts Immunity: Stimulates the lymphatic system and reduces stress hormones, supporting a stronger immune response.
  • Improves Focus and Clarity: Meditation and mindful movement sharpen concentration and cognitive function.
  • Promotes Emotional Resilience: Encourages self-awareness and mindfulness, helping manage emotions and build mental toughness.
  • Supports Digestion: Twisting poses and deep breathing stimulate digestive organs, improving gut health.
  • Encourages Holistic Wellness: Integrates body, mind, and spirit, fostering a sense of balance and inner peace.

Yoga Reviews

I’ve been attending yoga sessions with the owner Chaneckie and I’ve enjoyed every session. It’s my first time doing yoga and she explains how to correctly do each exercise. It’s such a peaceful experience. The music and the overall experience is pleasant. You can feel the love she puts into her craft.

I did my first yoga session today, and it was perfect! She had such a calm and relaxing atmosphere. She was very knowledgeable about positions and posture. She made sure to make sure everyone felt included and made sure everyone was comfortable and went at their own pace! I am excited to do another class! Highly highly recommend.

Thank you Ru’Cha Wellness for your guidance. I have a serious sweet tooth and tend to eat every artificial sugar snack I can put my hands on. I decided to sign up for coaching sessions with Ru’cha and it was the best thing I’ve done to take control of my health and eating habits. After completing and following Ru’cha wellness program, I now have more knowledge on how to make healthier food choices. The coach is very understanding and patient, she really listened to my needs and concerns, we worked together to tailor a plan for me. Thank again for your time and I look forward to a continued healthy lifestyle.

Curious About Menopause Signs?

 Curious Sign #1
 

Burning mouth

A burning mouth is another potential symptom of menopause hormonal changes. It may manifest as a feeling of burning, tenderness, tingling, heat, or numbing in or around the mouth. This is another result of hormonal changes.

The mucus hormones in the mouth have sex hormone receptors, which decrease with a decline in estrogen. This can contribute to pain and discomfort.

 
 
 

Curious Sign #2

Changes in taste

Some people changes in their sense of taste, with stronger flavors, during menopause. They may also experience a dry mouth, which can lead to a higher risk of developing gum disease or cavities.

Curious Sign #3

Joint pain

Estrogen helps decrease inflammation and keep the joints lubricated. As a result, some people experience joint pain due to decreased estrogen.

Estrogen is responsible for regulating fluid levels throughout the body, so when the body becomes low in this hormone, females are more prone to joint aches or menopausal arthritis.

MENOPAUSAL ARTHRITIS! OH NO!

Curious Sign #4
 

Electric shock sensations

Some people can experience sensations that resemble electric shocks during perimenopause and menopause. This, but it may be the result of changing hormone levels in the nervous system.

THE HORMONES AND THE NERVOUS SYSTEM ARE GOING THROUGH SOME CHANGES! WOW!

Curious Sign #5

Itchiness

As estrogen is related to collagen production and skin hydration, a decline in this hormone can lead to increased itchiness or dryness, typically around the vulva, but may also occur elsewhere such as legs, arms, back, feet and hands.

ITCHINESS IS A PART OF THE DEAL?

Curious Sign #6

Stress incontinence

Stress incontinence refers to a frequent or sudden urge to urinate. Some people also refer to it as an “overactive bladder” This symptom is common during menopause, as changes in hormone levels can cause the bladder and pelvic muscles to become weaker.

 KEGEL EXERCISES NEED TO BE DONE MORE OFTERN: Kegel exercises are a type of pelvic floor muscles training that involves contracting and releasing the muscles that support the bladder rectum and uterus. 

Curious Sign #7

Irregular heartbeat

Some people may experience an irregular heartbeat or palpitations during or after menopause. It is always a good idea to discuss symptoms relating to the heart with a healthcare professional.

TAKE YOUR TIME AND LISTEN TO YOUR HEART.

Curious Sign#8

Tinnitus

Tinnitus is a symptom that involves hearing a sound that has no external cause. This can include a ringing in the ears, roaring, or buzzing. It may affect one or both ears. Other signs of tinnitus may include:

  • whistling
  • humming
  • clicking
  • hissing
  • squealing

While the exact prevalence is unknown, a 2018 study has shown that people going through menopause may experience tinnitus. This may be due to the hormonal changes within the body.

JUST SIT BACK AND RELAX AND UNDERSTAND THE SIGNS.

Curious Sign #9

Panic disorder

In some cases, individuals may experience panic attacks during menopause. When these attacks occur unexpectedly or suddenly, they can indicate panic disorder. This may happen due to hormonal changes or the fear of feeling anxious itself.

TAKE A MOMENT TO BREATHE AND RELAX.

  • Night sweats
  • Mood swings
  • Hot flashes
  • Irregular periods
  • Breast soreness

My client’s micro win blossomed into a macro victory!

Now she’s confidently picking her own fruits and vegetables in person—a huge win for her!
 
I get it—these days, staying cozy at home feels tempting, especially if you work remotely. With everything just a tap away, it’s easy to settle in. But let’s step out a bit more!
