Yoga is designed to create awareness, harmony, and strength in the body.

Reasons to Practice Yoga

Our patients visit us to learn yoga for many reasons; no two are alike. Some of the more common benefits they receive from classes include:

  • Help to maintain a balanced metabolism
  • Improved energy, vitality, and respiration
  • Increased strength, muscle tone, and flexibility
  • Help with circulation and cardiac health
  • Natural weight loss
  • Improved athletic performance
  • Protection from muscle strain and other injuries

Mental Benefits from Yoga

While most people are aware of the physical rewards to be gained from yoga, the mental benefits are less commonly known. First and foremost, it's known as a great stress reliever. Stress can have severe effects on the body and mind, causing sleeping problems, headache, back and neck pain, and even substance abuse. Many of our patients use the practice of yoga to learn coping skills and find a more positive life outlook.

The practice of meditation and breathing that go along with yoga can help your mental well-being. It can create calmness and mental clarity, relieve chronic stress, relax the mind, and help sharpen concentration. All of these factors can result in increased performance at work or school, as well as a rise in self-awareness that's useful in detecting multiple physical problems.

Services We Offer

At Seitai Acupuncture, we offer a variety of healing services, beginning with yoga classes for all levels of practice. From pure beginners to professional athletes, we have a level of instruction that's ideal for you and your physical condition. In addition to yoga, we offer many other holistic healing practices, such as:

  • Seitai Shiatsu, which is therapeutic finger pressure on acupressure points, which is designed to relieve pain
  • Japanese acupuncture, which employs thinner needles and shallower depths than Chinese acupuncture, making it easier for first-time patients.
  • Kampo, or Japanese herbology. Our clinic is the only one in Brooklyn and Staten Island that carries these special herbs, which can provide effective results without the side effects of Western medicine
  • Cosmetic acupuncture. This method of facial rejuvenation can make you look up to 15 years younger. It will enhance your circulation while tightening and toning your facial muscles
