Kneel to Pistol Squat

I gave this a go today as was feeling springy 😆 Will you try?

And Here's How to Age like an Asian Auntie Tip :

Drink water.

Simple isn't it?

But how many of you actually do drink enough fluid.
As in to drink plain water. Tea, coffee, soft drinks doesn't count, and definitey not alcohol. Sorry 🤣

Drink a full cup every morning after brushing your teeth.
You wake up dehydrated. Make sure to hydrate your skin and body, before you start your day.

Goodbye now, this Asian Auntie is cooking dinner 🍜

Hi I'm Sophie, your new Fav Asian Wellness Auntie

I share how you too can age like an Asian...🤣

I turned 50 this year, not on HRT, and I've never had botox, fillers or any work done. Heck I don't wear foundation, and I've never had a manicure🙈 Nothing against those things btw.
Pic was taken in natural light by my dining room window. I never edit photos, not because I think I'm stunning, far from it. But because I've got no time to flaff. This is me, albeit in good lighting and angle 😂

Yes I do have my insecurities and health concerns, too many to list right now. So this isn't a brag.
But sharing that it doesn't have to be complicated.Or prohibitively expensive to maintain health, wellness, and FEEL good as we age.

Follow me here, share with someone who needs a straight talking Asian Auntie in their life. Or if you want, come to class. For hard working classes that are effective. And won't waste your time, because who wants that 😘

Yep, still have a biological age of under 30, supposedly. Even though I don't feel like it 😂

Retested myself one year on from first trying this.
Thankfully the fast twitch muscle fibres are still awake at 50.

Fast twitch muscle fibres are the first to decline, due to aging and inactivity.
It's important to maintain these muscle fibres, for power, mobility, co-ordination, and reaction time. Which helps to reduce the risk of falls as we age.

An aligned yoga practice, practiced with consistency can help train these muscle fibres.

Because of my training background, my yoga community know this only too well in class 😅 Even my fab over 70's year old yogis 🙏💪🏼

Make side lunges more challenging, the yoga way.

Flying Skandasana Pose🙏

1. Side lunge/Skandasana
2. Raise your foot
3. Raise opposite hand

Side lunge can already be challenging.
But if you're looking for a fun way to challenge yourself further.
Then try flying 🕊

As Spring comes into full bloom, our energy levels naturally increase.

Therefore we're adding Chaturunga push ups back into our flows.

To modify: knees can be placed on the floor, before lowering into Chaturunga.

Don't worry if you find Chaturunga push ups hard.
They are hard, and take consistent practice to master.
They're harder than regular push ups. This is due to the emphasis on tricep strength and smaller muscles,, rather than the chest muscles. Which then requires more active engagement through the entire body.

Pushing is a fundamental in bodyweight strength training, Helping to maintain functional integrated strength, mobility and joint health as we age. Ensuring that we're able to continue to do our daily activities with ease, and get up off the floor.

Without the need for any equpment other than a mat, yoga is incredible for building push strength. And you can scale up the intensity in various ways, which we've been exploring in classes.

Everyone so far is loving it, I think 🤣

L Sit Practice Variations

Make sure your wrists are fully warmed up before practising. You can do this by rotating, flicking the fingers, and easing shoulders forwards/back in tabletop/DWFD.

L Sits train the core, hip flexors, quadriceps, shoulders, wrists, and also structural strength in body control.

The benefits include improving joint and tendon stability, whilst simultaneously strengthening the legs, shoulders and abdominals.

Although low impact, L Sit training builds intense overall strength, without the need for lifting heavy weights.

Have a great weekend 🙂

** In slide 3, I meant to say 'come into reverse tabletop'
