Sunday Summer Flow - gentle & low, like, maybe one standing pose. Or two. Maybe. But count on lots of side bends and gentle twists to cool the Temple.

Register even if you can’t make it today; you’ll get the recording later to use forever, wherever. 
No props needed

Diary of a Yoga Therapist … The downside of my jo Diary of a Yoga Therapist …

The downside of my job as a Yoga Therapist who specializes in Parkinson’s disease?

2nd funeral in a year. 

But here’s the thing. Parkinson’s doesn’t kill you. As any neurologist will tell you, “You die with PD not of PD”. 

So what’s that mean, I hear you ask. 

It means that PD is not a fatal disease per se. Death usually occurs at an old age from another medical illness entirely. These are called “fatal complications”.

These typically include 
👉falls due to imbalance and impaired gait
👉pressure ulcers due to increased immobility & muscle rigidity
👉pneumonia due to inability to swallow so food/saliva gets into the lungs causing aspiration
👉other infections such as UTIs, UTIs, and UTIs (get what I’m saying?)

This is such a sh*tty disease. 
Take care of each other out there. 💙
Onward.

Feed Your Liver When eating to love your liver, y Feed Your Liver

When eating to love your liver, you'll want to limit saturated fat, salt, and red meat  which have been linked to liver disease. Instead, lean into healthier protein options like fatty fish which contain omega-3s that may reduce liver fat, boost protective HDL cholesterol, and lower triglyceride levels. 

Also consider beans and soy which help protect the liver by lowering triglyceride levels. And bring in more EVOO in place of butter which helps reduce oxidative stress and improve liver function.

Could you use a week of liver-loving recipes like this salmon dish?😍

Have I mentioned to you lately how much I love wha Have I mentioned to you lately how much I love what I do? 

I’m a certified yoga therapist specializing in Parkinson’s disease and other neurological movement disorders (MS, ataxia, HSP-7, etc). 

I have the privilege of working one-to-one with clients in person here in Tulsa, as well as virtually all over the country. 

I’ve worn a lot of different hats over the course of my professional life and, I must say, this one fits best.💙

My bi-monthly newsletter covers all things yoga therapy and aging with balance and grace. Sign up at the link in bio or cut/paste the link below

The outdoor temps are calling for a slow, low, fluid flow.
No props, no planks.
If you can get on/off the floor you can do this class.
See you on the screen yogis!
