WHAT IS FUNCTIONAL YOGA MEDICINE?

Functional Yoga Medicine is a multi-layered healing system that is comprehensive yet simple and easy for you to apply into your daily life and create your own SELF Healthcare System.

It empowers you to take back control of your health by helping you tap into your own INNER HEALING power.

Our bodies are multidimensional, and the tools we utilize to enhance our health must account for ALL layers in order to enhance function as a WHOLE.

E – Enteric Health: We combine yoga with functional medicine to improve gut health, enhancing overall physical and mental well-being.
A – Autonomic Alignment: By integrating breathwork and meditation with functional medicine, we aim to balance the body’s autonomic functions, promoting inner peace.
S – Somatic Consciousness: We merge yoga’s awareness practices with functional medicine to increase body awareness, aiding in healing and resilience.
E – Empowerment Psychology: “Mindset” is the most important when it comes to healing. We believe in transformational coaching to shift perspective and overcome the limits of the mind.

The Ease Method (Instagram Post (Square))

YOGA (or Your Opportunity for Growth and Awareness) connects the body and mind, and when you learn how to integrate breath with movement utilizing the four foundations of Functional Yoga Medicine, the body achieves a healthy state of BEING which transcends all dis-ease toward EASE.

Our Yoga practice is focused on four foundational principles:

EASE METHOD | SELF HEALING SYSTEM

E – Enteric Health

The “second brain” in our gut controls digestion and communicates with our main brain, mainly through the vital vagus nerve, impacting overall health.

.

A – Autonomic Alignment

Autonomic alignment ensures our body’s natural systems work in harmony, which is vital for health and well-being; Functional Yoga Medicine uses breath, movement, and meditation to achieve this balance

.

S – Somatic Consciousness

The somatic nervous system manages our movements and senses; by combining yoga’s awareness with FYM’s knowledge, we enhance self-understanding and healing.

E – Empowerment through Practice

Our thoughts and feelings guide our actions, and through Yoga, we can better understand and strengthen our responses to life’s challenges.

Enteric Health

Rooted in functional medicine’s focus on holistic health, we recognize the gut’s profound impact on overall well-being. Coupled with specific yoga asanas, we enhance gut health, ensuring a robust enteric system that supports both body and mind.

Autonomic Alignment

Functional medicine delves deep into the body’s innate systems, and with the integration of breathwork and meditation from yoga, we work to harmonize the autonomic system, bringing tranquility and balance to both unconscious and conscious functions.

Somatic Consciousness

Marrying the awareness-driven practices of yoga with functional medicine’s insight into the body, we foster a heightened sense of self. By understanding and responding to bodily sensations, we promote healing, resilience, and embodiment.

Empowered Psychology

Empowering individuals isn’t just about practice but also knowledge to make informed decisions based on personal priorities. Through workshops, classes, and one-on-one sessions, we integrate the wisdom of functional medicine and the timeless teachings of yoga. This equips individuals with the tools and understanding they need for a holistic health journey.
