Fall Is the Season for Building Mindfulness and Resilience Yes, the easy summer days are behind us. But if you’re willing to brave the chill, autumn holds a special set of rewards.
The body is not “I.” This body is just like our clothing. When finished with it, we will discard it and choose another, like putting on a new set of clothing.

Jana Long is a yoga therapist, Ayurvedic lifestyle consultant, meditation mentor and featured Yoga Radical this week who says “It’s not that linear for me. I try to be open and sometimes either it’s an arousal, it could be a momentary thought, it could be in a dream. I don’t know where it comes from. It just comes and I am the kind of person who doesn’t try to think things through to the finish. If something arises within me that requires me to take action, I take action just to see where it will go, if it’s what I should do. Because time will tell, or the evolution of it will tell. And as a result, I’ve had many different experiences. It’s just like that feeling in that church as a little girl: something just wells up in you and you just go for it and see where it goes, see where that road goes. You can’t be afraid to go down that road.”

Contortion labeled as yoga on Instagram is cultural appropriation, ableist, and damaging, teachers say Eye-catching feats of flexibility are often used on Instagram to sell yoga, but teachers say that's not what the practice is about.

But here’s the catch: you must be 55 or older to join the class and have the ability to get down and up from the floor unassisted.
Yoga Therapeutics for Seniors introduces the therapeutic application of yoga to ease minor discomforts of the body, improve balance, flexibility, strength, and breaks the isolation that often accompanies aging. You will learn how to create a home practice and be connected and supported by a vibrant community of peers. Ideal for first-time yoga practitioners.
There will be a Meet & Greet session, 10-11am on Wednesday, September 2 to get acquainted and address any questions about the class.
If you are interested, let me know.
