Yoga is more than asana or the poses you see on Instagram, even my Instagram! Yoga is comprised of eight limbs which provide us with a deeper and more meaningful way of life.
At 56 I have already lost dear friends to cancer and other illnesses. In their honor, this year I learned fallen angel for my birthday photo.
I didn’t do my first crow pose until I was 51, five years ago. Since then I have grown stronger and have acquired greater balance.
I’m turning 56 in a couple of weeks and I have a goal by 60. It is to do a “floating handstand”…
The difference between asana yoga and other types of bodywork is simple. And it may be different for everyone.
Yoga is not all about the poses, but in my fifties, arm balances make me feel strong, joyful, happy and free. I see no reason to stop challenging myself.
Yo pensaba que era incapaz de sentarme a meditar. Pero resulta que lo que necesitaba era dedicarle más tiempo. Tú también puedes.
To prove that challenging oneself has nothing to do with age, I´m sharing a photo of Pauline, 81, and a photo of myself, 55, doing the same asana.
I’ve learned that one’s best can look quite different over time. But it always feels the same!
