Consistent practice and repetition is needed to maintain good balance, strength and function. Do it now, make it a priority. You will be glad you did.

Hike 🚶‍♀️and yoga🧘‍♀️.

I love being outdoors and doing poses on the open air gives me a feeling of freedom, openness and happiness. I am just really happy outdoors.

Here I am visiting a place I last saw 6 years ago. Used to hike and kayak here when I lived in IN.
