Props in practice. Using two blocks in this sequ Props in practice. 

Using two blocks in this sequence to work balance, proprioception, and stabilize the femur in those reverse lunges. 

B. K. S. Iyengar famously said “The prop is the guru”. 
And no doubt the use of props in our practice can enlighten us to discrepancies and imbalances in the physical body, as well as challenges and joy in our minds. 

I feel a Block Party Weekend coming on.

My late, great MiL left us this painting: Preparin My late, great MiL left us this painting: Preparing to Dance by Chris Tiger

It’s now a centerpiece in my home yoga therapy studio. 

Dance is one of the many research-backed modalities that helps people with #parkinsons remain functional, motivated, and empowered. 

Seemed fitting to place this painting in my room. 

I think it’s perfect in this space. ✨

Your brain would like you to get off your butt. Lo Your brain would like you to get off your butt.
Lovingly, of course.

A study published in JAMA found that adults 60 and older who spent 10 or more hours a day sedentary had a higher risk of developing dementia.

Now, that doesn't mean sitting causes dementia. But it's another compelling reason to move that body of yours.

And no, you don't have to sweat like a horse running the Kentucky Derby.

Walk the dog. Dance in the kitchen. Work in the garden. Roll out your yoga mat.

Find movement you enjoy and make it part of your day.

Your brain and body have a lot of living left to do.

P.S. Send this to your favorite couch potato. With love, naturally.
