I absolutely love the work of Nicolai Bachman. He is able to cleverly translate the yoga sutras.

To my Tallahassee yoga friends: You have 5 opportunities each week to practice chair yoga with me: 3 classes at Premier Health and Fitness Center and 2 classes at Restorative Yoga studio (in person and with Zoom).

Make it happen. Build strength. Improve balance. Gain flexibility. Calm your mind.

Any of my Tallahassee yoga friends want to look onto this retreat. Judith Hanson Lasater is amazing. Message me if you want to jaunt across the country.

Opening Up and Letting Go -The Heart of Yoga
A Retreat Style Training in San Diego, California

This is focused training for Yoga Instructors, Therapists and Experienced, Serious Students of Yoga.

The last few years have taught us many things, but probably the most powerful lesson it gave us is the absolute truth of impermanence. Now is the time for deepening our practice and reconnecting with our inner silence and ease. Join us in sunny San Diego, CA!

Your presence would make this perfect ❤️

You will lose every yoga pose you master…except one.

So, work on your Savasana.

I just finished teaching a New Year's Eve restorative yoga class at Premier Health and Fitness Center. I ended the class with following words from the poet Donna Ashworth:

"Why do we start a new year, with promises to improve?
Who began this tradition of never-ending pressure?
I say, the end of a year, should be filled with congratulation, for all we survived.
And I say a new year should start with promises to be kinder to ourselves, to understand better just how much we bear, as humans on this exhausting treadmill of life.

And if we are to promise more, let’s pledge to rest, before our bodies force us.
Let’s pledge to stop, and drink in life as it happens.
Let’s pledge to strip away a layer of perfection to reveal the flawed and wondrous humanity we truly are inside.

Why start another year, gifted to us on this earth, with demands on our already over-strained humanity.
When we could be learning to accept, that we were always supposed to be imperfect.
And that is where the beauty lives, actually.
And if we can only find that beauty, we would also find peace".

Wishing my friends and loved ones PEACE in 2023!!

Strengthening legs in yoga by making the "sitting in a chair" shape. So simple. So effective.

Dr. Fishman's work is very insightful.

It was an honor for my research, on the use of yoga for the treatment of osteoporosis, to be featured in the magazine 𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒕 𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑩𝒆𝒔𝒕.

According to the International Osteoporosis Foundation, every 3 seconds, someone breaks a bone due to osteoporosis. Around the world, one in 3 women and
one in 5 men over the age of 50 will suffer a broken bone due to the disease.

Through my decades of research, Yoga practices have shown promise
for bone health, as it stimulates the cells that produce bones. The twists, bends and balancing of yoga can be a safe and cost-effective way to reverse bone loss and prevent fractures in aging adults

"I often compare the side effects of the medicine [used for osteoporosis] with the 'side effects' of yoga:
better balance and posture, better range of motion, strength and coordination, all of which mitigate the risk of falling. Also, the meds can
only be given for a certain number of years, while yoga has no such limits.
