60 + and got the wobbles?

Try intentional walking because every time you take a step one foot is hovering above the ground when you step forward, backward, or side to side.

Best built-in balance practice - walking.

“I can't squat.”

I remember the first time a yoga teacher said, “Let's come into a squat.”

My immediate thought was:
Nope. Not today. 😏

And I had a couple of perfectly good reasons why:
My legs are too long.
My knees are too cranky.
Surely that was why I couldn't squat!

But over time, I learned that I didn't have to squat perfectly to practice the movement.

Maybe I didn't go as low.

Maybe I used support.

Maybe I worked on different pieces of the movement.

And little by little, I became more comfortable with it.

That's one of the things I love about yoga and functional movement.

You don't have to force your body into a particular shape. You can explore what works for your body.

Because the goal isn't to make your body look like someone else's.

It's to figure out:
What can MY body do today?

And sometimes, when we stop telling ourselves what we can't do and start exploring what might be possible, we surprise ourselves.

That's what functional yoga is about for me. It's not about becoming a better yoga student.
It's about becoming more comfortable, capable and confident in the body you have today.

What's something you've told yourself, “I can't do that,” before you've even given it a chance?

30 Days of Listening to Your Body

Thirty days of talking about stress, tension, posture, mobility, breathing and movement.

But really, it all comes back to one thing:

Listening to your body.

You don’t have to be flexible to practice yoga.

You don’t have to spend an hour on a mat.

You don’t have to push yourself harder.

And getting older doesn’t mean you have to simply accept feeling stiff, tense or uncomfortable in your body.

Small things matter.

A few minutes of movement.
A slower breath.
Changing your position.
Taking a walk.
Paying attention to where you’re holding tension.

This is why I teach functional yoga and movement for professionals over 40 and retirees.

Not to help you become a better yoga student.

To help you feel more comfortable in your body and more capable in the life you’re living.

And that’s something worth paying attention to.

If you’ve been following along this month, thank you for being here. ❤️

Now I’m curious…

What’s one thing you’ve noticed about your body lately?

We get pretty good at ignoring the little messages our bodies send us.

The tight shoulders.
The stiff hips.
The restless sleep.
The feeling that we just need to slow down.

But what if those messages are worth listening to?

You don’t have to change everything. Sometimes the first step is simply noticing what your body is asking for.

What would your body say today?

Getting older doesn’t mean you have to accept feeling stiff, uncomfortable, or disconnected from your body.

Functional yoga is about adapting movement to you and helping you feel better in the body you have today.

If you’re 40+ and curious about what that could look like for you, I’d love to help you explore it.

Comment FUNCTIONAL and I’ll send you the link for a free Functional Yoga Consultation.

No pressure. Just a conversation.
