The Benefits of Yoga to Prevent Chronic Disease with Ivory Howard

This week Tee is delighted to welcome Ivory Howard to the show to discuss the many benefits of Yoga. Regular yoga practice can reduce levels of stress and body-wide inflammation, contributing to healthier hearts. Several of the factors contributing to heart disease, including high blood pressure and excess weight, can also be addressed through yoga. When practiced regularly it makes the body more durable and less susceptible to illnesses. Ivory understands that everyone's relationship with health and wellness is different, and she seeks to honor that with her work. Ivory provides her clients with challenging workouts, focused on strength, balance, and flexibility to help them reach their health and fitness goals. She is a certified yoga and pilates instructor and received her Master of Public Health and advanced training in plant-based nutrition. Ivory has been seen in US News and World Report, Health Digest, Fit & Well, Weight Watchers, the Zoe Report, Sisters from AARP, Shoutout LA, Men's Book Atlanta, Voyage, LA, and other publications for helping others achieve their health and fitness goals. In this chat, Tee and Ivory discuss the basics of getting started with Yoga and address some of the health and lifestyle benefits that come with a more active lifestyle.
