Yoga for Healthy BONES – 7 wk series
March 20 – May 1, 2021.
Saturdays, 10:30 – 11:45 AM (PST)
$70 **

I’m excited to offer a new updated 7-week series, “Yoga for Osteoporosis”, March 20 – May 1, 2021. I now have an additional certification from Dr. Loren Fishman to teach this course. Sign up soon! Please share this page with others.


Whether you prefer working from a chair or are comfortable practicing from the floor as well as standing, I will present various ways to practice each of the poses Dr. Fishman recommends.  By the end, you will have a 15-minute home routine with a handout which, if practiced daily can improve or at least maintain your bone density.   You will learn principles that you can apply to any yoga practice to take it up a notch to support your bone health.   Win-Win!!


During our first class, I will share my Powerpoint presentation about the why’s and how’s of yoga for osteoporosis based on Dr. Fishman’s research with time for us to get acquainted.   The remainder of the classes will be yoga practices based on his research infused with the valuable principles I have learned from Alignment Yoga.

Registration Now Open for My 6-Week Series:
Yoga for Healthy Aging – starts Nov. 10, 2020

Click HERE to register.

 

 

Years ago, I became concerned about my bone density, and saw how some people much older than I enjoyed vibrant vitality and well-being. “THAT’S what I want!” My studies led me to certifications with Dr. Baxter Bell & Dr. Loren Fishman, medical doctors & yoga therapists who specialize in these topics. Their techniques have shown measurable results in my own body and I want to share this info with you.

 

I’m offering a six-week series via Zoom through Eugene Yoga called “Yoga for Healthy Aging” on Tuesdays, 5:30 – 6:45 pm, from November 10 – December 15, 2020. $70

 

 

Even better, if that time isn’t good for you, you can watch the video at your own convenience for 3 days after the class!

 

There will be a ~15 minute Powerpoint presentation on a particular topic related to healthy aging (flexibility, strength & cardio, balance & agility, bone density, brain and equanimity practices to help our nervous system deal with the challenges of being a human on this journey) followed by corresponding a yoga practice. You will be provided handouts to help you create and sustain a 15+ minute home yoga practice to meet your needs.

 

Please share this with friends who might be interested in this series – even if they’re new to yoga!

Coming at Your Immune System from a Different Angle – LITERALLY!

 

I am hearing how important it is to relax and not stress out.  That can be easier said than done.  In today’s hour-long yoga class, we’ll apply some simple, yet perhaps unusual techniques to work with the cranial nerves that come together at the brainstem.  Working in this way can induce a physiological response which promotes a calming response in our nervous system.

 

As an added benefit, by destressing your mind, you’ll be able to think and problem-solve more efficiently.  You may have noticed that we don’t always make the best decisions when we’re stressed.

Mindful Moments

Mindfulness Moments:  Breathing into Anxiety

 

Getting news updates throughout the day can have a negative effect on our nervous system steering one toward anxiety. This “social virus” does not heed the 6′ rule.

 

Dr. Jud Brewer, addiction psychiatrist and neuro-researcher used the metaphor of strolling through the crowded social news media streets as akin to being socially-sneezed on. Unfortunately, your immune system takes a hit from this not-so-metaphorical social virus.

 

In today’s 4 min. Mindful Moment, I offer a technique that helps simultaneously dissolve that unnecessary tension and reground into the steadiness of being in your body – whenever and wherever.

Mindful Moment:  Five Finger Breathing

YogAwareness Films Presents: “Building Resilience for a Healthy Immune System”

Your lymphatic system helps defend your body from infections.  It has no pump of it’s own and requires movement to keep it’s fluids flowing.   If you’re sitting more than usual, take 30 minutes to get that stagnant fluid flowing again with this special immune boosting yoga sequence.    It’s appropriate whether you are new to yoga or are a long-time practitioner. No special props required.

May all beings be healthy, resilient, and kind to all beings and the Earth herself in every imaginable way!
