Do you feel overwhelmed with stress in your life?

Do you often feel out of balance?

Are you noticing the effects of age and stress on your body?

Are you seeking a more natural approach to health?

Do you desire more personal time, more clarity or greater focus?

Do you love yoga but struggle to find the time to attend studio classes regularly?

Or have you heard that yoga would be good for you but you’re not really comfortable in a group setting or aren’t sure where to start?

If any of these questions resonate with you, a personalized yoga practice or an Ayurvedic wellness consultation may be just the solution.  Yoga and Ayurveda cultivate greater self-awareness, and teach us how to identify the source of our dis-ease and bring healing and balance into our lives.

Yoga is a science with proven physical benefits.  Did you know that 80% of all diseases and illness are related to stress?  It is proven that yoga decreases cortisol levels (the stress hormone) in the body.  It’s been keeping its faithful practitioners healthy for 3,000+ years.  To read more about Ayurveda, click here.

I was a sack of nuts and bolts that needed a new direction physically. The same old gym workouts were getting old, and my resolve was waning. My breathing was a problem too. Over the years I often wanted to try yoga but was too intimidated by all the apparently convoluted poses and unfamiliar surroundings. I always knew I would find someone to help me get over that initial barrier, and introduce me properly to the wonderful world of yoga and its many rewards. And I did in Gianna Piccardo from Balanced Wellness.

She patiently directed me over a 12 week period to learn how to use my body differently strengthening my core, increasing flexibility and improving my balance that bled off into improving my weekend sports of sportbiking, motocrossing and skiing not to mention sleeping.

She also added an herbal nutritional supplement to help with my occasional exercise induced asthma, and regular night time breathing problems. It amazingly worked immediately as well as the yoga improving my quality of life by helping me sleep better and breathe more efficiently throughout every day and night. Plus the mental benefits of the yoga were a major unknown, but what a wonderful natural high yoga provides.

Gianna makes it so easy, and supports you during and after the program with practice cd’s and instructional/practice aids. Now I have the confidence to walk into any yoga facility and take a class. I may still be the same sack of nuts and bolts, but Gianna helped me put them all together with the missing washers. I feel so much better than I ever have, and every time I practice what Gianna taught me I feel like a new man. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a easy and inexpensive personal window into yoga and its multifaceted benefits. Or anything having to do with wellness and nutrition. She is a gem among rocks I assure you.
