How do you feel about ageing?
Teaching people in their 60s, 70s, even 80s has reshaped my perspective completely.
Strength, balance, resilience… still growing, still evolving, still surprising!
Just recently in class, a woman out-squatted the room. She was 82. And the ladies in my Tuesday morning Snape class are mostly 60+, but they can out plank anyone!
I've realised that it’s not about our age, it’s about how we move, our attitude towards movement, and the relationship we cultivate with our body over the decades. (Ideally one of love and respect ❤️)
I couldn’t do this pose in my 30s. Too tight and too restricted. But years of practice have changed my body and on the edge of 42 I'm very nearly there. (Still some work to do, you can see my pelvis popping out to the side slightly, spine a little bent.)
So ageing? I'm not scared. I'm excited to see what I'll be able to do at 50 that I can't do now 😊
