Day 5 of our immune boosting series: You need to stay social! > People who feel more connected to others have lower levels of anxiety and depression > The positive benefit from being socially engaged can help you recover from disease faster and even lengthen your life > Research shows that caring for others triggers stress-reducing hormones which we know are associated with immune systems benefits.... Hang Out to Hang Loose: spend time with happy, positive people. You will likely be more happy and positive -- all good things for a happy immune system. #humanconnection #immuneboosting #immunity #community #staysocial

Day 4 of our immunity boosting series: You need to manage stress! < Acute stress (meeting a bear in the woods), your brain sends signals that release hormones to prepare other body systems to respond > When the stressor is gone (bye bear), your brain sends signals to release other hormones that shut down body's the "fight or flight" response > When you are under chronic (long-lasting) stress, your body is a state of perpetual readiness that depletes body systems like your... immune system Rediscover stillness: Even 5 minutes spent in a quiet setting and focussing on the natural rhythm of your breath, will slow everything down and enhance your mental and emotional well-being. #managestress #yourbodyisyourtemple #community #immuneboosting

Day 3 of our immune boosting series: You need to sleep well! > During sleep, your body undergoes complex hormonal changes that benefit your immune system > Sound sleep helps improve the T-cells (specialized immune cells) to target infected cells > During illness caused by infection, good quality sleep helps your body restore depleted immune cells... Grab a Nap: When we lose out on necessary sleep over time, it's called sleep debt. But you can pay that back with a well-timed nap -- just 20 minutes in the early afternoon will help to even out your sleep deficit. #sleepwell #immuneboost #peaceofmind #grabanap #yourbodyisyourtemple

Day 2 of our immune boosting series: you need to move! > Exercise helps antibodies and white blood cells in our immune cells to circulate faster so they can detect pathogens and possibly prevent infections. > Exercise slows down your body's release of stress hormones, which may help protect against some illnesses. > Adults who did aerobic activity 5 or more days a week had 43 per cent fewer days of sickness with upper respiratory tract infections (like the common col...d) than adults in the same study who were largely sedentary. Yoga Every Day: just 30 minutes a day will stave off osteoarthritis, lubricate the joints, manage your weight, boost your immune function, calm the brain, and improve sleep. #youneedtomove #immuneboosting #yourbodyisyourtemple #healthylifestyle #beactive

Day 1 of our immune boosting series: Eat right! > one of your important biological systems, the immune system, is especially dependent on a healthy diet. > your immune cells need to be well-nourished so they can circulate constantly throughout your body. > immune cells need to be primed and ready to respond quickly against invading pathogens or harmful signals that lead to illness or damage.... Eat colourfully: bioflavonoids are mighty plant chemicals found in colourful foods like blueberries, tomatoes, bell peppers, broccoli, and matcha tea. These antioxidant compounds can cut infections by as much as 33 per cent. #eatright #fuelyourbody #immuneboosting #naturalimmunityboost #yourbodyisyourtemple

YELLOW TO ORANGE The Middlesex-London Region has been reclassified as Orange in the Provincial Reopening Framework. This takes effect Monday, December 7.... Thankfully, our studios are not deeply impacted by this change other than the new requirement of screening students registered for classes. As an added measure, when you arrive at the studio you will see a list of posted questions (see below). You must answer NO to all three in order to proceed to class. If you answer YES to just ONE of the questions, you must head back home to call your healthcare professional immediately for advice and guidance. Read the questions, answer them honestly and advise the teacher on duty of the results. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and your patience. We are so incredibly grateful to remain open for you and we appreciate your continued support.

Friday can’t come soon enough. Go to www.modoyoga.com/virtualclasses/ to sign up for our weekly Karma class on Zoomthis week with Aura in support of Second H...arvest! Aura Carcueva has been teaching yoga for nearly 15 years. Over the years, she has taught in Trinidad and many studios in Toronto before she moved to Guelph, Ontario.

You might see aspects of these techniques in Aura’s teaching. Aside from being a yoga teacher Aura is also a professional actor. She has performed on various stages and festivals in Toronto and Vancouver and she has also toured across North America and Europe with various theatre companies. Aura wears many hats. You can surely find her in a yoga or dance studio, on stage, on screen or simply hanging out with her family.

Benefits of a regular yoga practice Strengthen your Immune System Now more than ever the importance of maintaining a strong immune system is vital. Did you know that a regular yoga practice doesn’t only do wonders for your mind and body, but also strengthens your immune system. Stress is one of the leading causes of sickness, and when we’re chronically stressed, the deep tissue that surrounds our organs, muscles, bones, tendons and ligaments (called fascia) is compromis...ed. Because fascia is made up of nerves, we need to move and stretch our body so that this fascia can be rung out By incorporating yoga into our routines, we can significantly strengthen our body’s ability to combat sickness. Alongside this, our blood needs oxygen to keep the body healthy and aid in cell growth. Intentional breath-work (like pranayama) gives our blood the boost of oxygen required to generate new circulation so let’s continue to land on our mats, find intentional breath and keep our immune systems thriving See more

We’re feeling pretty darn thankful for the incredible people that make up our Modo family. And though we may not be as physically close this year, we are cl...oser than ever in our hearts and in our shared commitment to making this world a better place. And while we took time today to give thanks, we also took time to learn, to listen and to reflect. We learned about the history and culture of the ancient land on which we live and practice. We researched the issues directly affecting Indigenous populations in our local communities. We listened to Indigenous voices both online and in our community and we reflected on the ways we participate in society so that we can show up and do better. We recognize that there is no liberation without reconciliation. Sending a ton of love and gratitude to our whole community in Canada and around the world.

And we support you on the lifelong journey of becoming the fullest, most authentic expression of who you are.We look forward to the day where nobody carries the weight of shame for who they are and nobody feels like they have to come out to live freely.You can join us in celebrating by attending one of our Friday Karma classes this month in support of The Trevor Project, the world’s largest suicide prevention organization for LGBTQ+ young people.
