This was the lovely group that joined me at Yogaville in 2019 for a weekend workshop on brain longevity. We had so much fun in between yoga, meditation, hiking, healthy eating and just being at this beautiful retreat in the Virginia countryside.

And now we're going back! August 7-9. Join me? You can learn more at the link below.

Yes! Just be careful 😘

At 64, Julianne Moore swears by walking backward—especially uphill—to boost brain power and core strength.

Her trainer taught her this quirky tip to force the brain out of autopilot, improving balance, coordination and memory.

Studies from the University of Roehampton show that reverse walking stimulates the prefrontal cortex, engages hamstrings and stabilizer muscles, and reduces joint strain.

Moore credits this playful routine with boosting neuroplasticity and preserving her vitality as she ages.

To try it safely, start on a flat, obstacle-free surface with slow, controlled steps, then gradually increase duration and incline.

Check out #6 😘

These findings — from a blood test to improvements in drug delivery — may lead to better diagnosis and treatment of the memory-robbing condition.

So fun! I had the pleasure of being on this panel discussing resources that are available to adults as we age or care for others in our lives.

Everyone here has a different service offering from in-home care, to money management, real estate, moving, insurance, PT, life coaching, and more.

Yours truly comes in at the 37 minute mark with a stretch break and quick breathing exercise to quiet the mind.

Get up and move!

And other good advice.

What you *don’t* do matters for your thinker too.

This is my new thing.

And our brains love new things.

I brush my teeth in tree pose. AND, I switch up my hands.

So one minute on one foot, brushing with one hand, and one minute on the other, brushing with the other hand.

And here's what's happening:

1) My brain has to focus, especially with that opposite hand! I'm building new neural pathways by changing my routine.

2) I'm working on balance which is also increasing my concentration.

3) Bonus, I'm getting some hip opening, my bones like the weight, and I'm strengthening my feet, ankles, and legs.

You can try it with your foot at your ankle and your toe on the ground. Or try one part (legs/hands) a few nights and then put them together.

Try it! And let me know how it goes.
