How we sit will help us stay out of pain!

Power in the Big Toe!

 Take note:  When you walk, stand, do yoga, do you lift the big toe?  This correlates all the way up to your hip!  This week's classes are working on those exact habits.  Join us in class or even schedule a private and see how the big toe awareness will improve your poses.  It will also decrease pain in the  knee, hip, feet and even lower back!

As we get older, maintaining a good balance with our bodies is very important. We all know that our bodies take longer to heal as we age, and broken bones can be mean a permanent loss of our mobility and independent living.

In these past two years, I have learned for my self as well as my clients how we sit, how we sit down, and how we get up can save our backs, knees, feet, and hips.

A seasoned exercise veteran, with four decades of exercise and body movement specialties, Joyce Savitz has found that as we age the connective tissue gets more dehydrated resultingin stuck energy and subsequent pain.

Our posture makes all the difference in how we age.

I have done Yoga since 1974. I have seen the changes that have happened in my body as I age. I have known other people who have taken Yoga with me in the past as well as teachers who have taught even longer than me.

Today reminded me of the joys of teaching Yoga.

Do you know what your dosha is?

Pain in the wrist while doing yoga can be s symptom of a misalignment in your shoulders. My teacher, John Friend, taught me about this when I had a ganglion cyst on my wrist which was causing me alot of pain in handstand, sun salutation, backbends and any arm balance.

Many people think that backbends are bad for their back and very difficult to do. We are here to tell you that is not true if done with proper instruction!!
