Angela Dacosta 


 
As passionate Kundalini Yoga practitioner, Angela has been teaching yoga since 2012. For most of her life she has experienced the positive impacts that physical fitness and good nutrition have on her health. In 2010 she began practicing Kundalini Yoga and realized the importance of what yoga brought to her overall wellbeing, as it not only complemented but also became an integral part of a mind and body healthy life experience. A few years after starting her yoga practice, she decided to become a yoga teacher to explore, research, practice and share with others this great experience. She teaches classes in English and Spanish, the latter being her native language. Angela was born and raised in Colombia She is married to Francisco Suarez and has been blessed with two wonderful daughters, Paola and Veronica. She has been living in South Florida since 2000.

Yoga and Meditation as Alzheimer's Prevention Medicine
Founded in 1993 by Dharma Singh Khalsa, M.D., the Alzheimer's Research and Prevention Foundation (ARPF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to preventing Alzheimer's disease by funding research studies and providing educational outreach and memory screenings.

The ARPF believes that memory loss is neither a normal nor natural part of aging. You can take action today to maximize your brain power and reduce your risk of developing Alzheimer's, by following The 4 Pillars of Alzheimer's Prevention. This approach utilizes the best of conventional medicine, combined with the best of integrative or holistic medical modalities, which include:
  1. A plant-based diet
  2. Stress management through yoga and meditation
  3. Physical and mental exercise
  4. Spiritual well-being
The Second Pillar

Yoga & Meditation - Medicine for AD Prevention

Our yoga/meditation as Alzheimer's prevention medicine is so compelling because it has revealed that Kirtan Kriya (KK), a simple 12-minute yoga meditation meaning singing exercise, has the following benefits:
  • Reverses memory loss
  • Increases energy levels
  • Improves sleep quality
  • Up regulates positive genes
  • Down regulates inflammatory genes
  • Reduces stress in patient and caregiver
  • Improves psychological and spiritual well being
  • Activates significant anatomical areas of the brain
  • Increases telomerase, the rejuvenating enzyme that slows cell aging by 43%, the largest increase ever recorded.
  • Improves cerebral blood flow.
  • Reduces depression
How To Do Kirtan Kriya

KK is a 12-minute singing exercise that people have been practicing for thousands of years. lt brings together several actions: breath work, singing or chanting, finger movements (mudras), and visualization. Hence, it is a multifaceted, multi-sensory exercise that engages the whole brain and increases cerebral blood flow.

Posture: Sit comfortably in a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Alternatively, you can sit on the floor with your legs crossed, although older adults are not likely to choose this option. The essence of the posture is to be comfortable and sit with the spine straight with only the natural curvature.

Breath: Breathe naturally as the meditation unfolds.

Eyes: The eyes are closed.

The Chant, or Mantra: The chant uses the sounds, Saa, Taa, Naa, Maa. These ancient sounds taken together mean "my true identity" or "my highest self." The tune to which these sounds are sung is the first four notes of the familiar children's song, "Mary had a Little Lamb." That is, the notes are "Mar-y had a."

The Mudras, or Finger Movements: The thumb is touched to each of the other four fingers in sequence. Both hands perform the same mudra set simultaneously.
  • On Saa, touch the index fingers of each hand to the thumbs.
  • On Taa, touch your middle fingers to your thumbs.
  • On Naa, touch your ring fingers to your thumbs.
  • On Maa, touch your little fingers to your thumbs.
Always go forward in sequence: thumb to index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and pinky;
never go backwards.
