Whenever I come to my gym for a swim and visiting sauna, and pass the gym floor, I happen to see people working out with a noticeable force; red-faced, straining, heaving weights around, as if trying to wrestle their bodies into submission. Every single rep looked like a small act of war.
There's an Osteopathic saying that the body is “the primary machinery of life” the tool through which we engage with the world. Every gesture of kindness, every act of service, every word of love is expressed through this extraordinary machinery. If it breaks down or is mistreated, our capacity to live fully, to love deeply and to serve meaningfully, becomes limited.
To care for the body, then, is to honour life itself and yoga is a way to care and to learn. Yoga allows you to get to such a level of body awareness when you know what nourishes and what harms you. Whenever you feel or choose to work hard, you will know how to care hard.
To start learning abut your body, please find your local yoga class or come to one of mine. The link is below.

I'm in my sixties and quite content with how I feel in my body despite living with an ulcerative colitis since my 30 yo.
For over 21 years I've been supporting my body and keeping myself fit with yogic exercise as started practicing in 2004.
Through all that time I had few crises when my disease was taking its upper hand but yoga was always there to help me get back on track and it never let me down.
That's one of the reasons why I started teaching yoga to others;Isimply share what I belive in myself.

Would you want to know why you feel tired most of the time, starting in the morning and continuing through the day?

Stress response is always our bodily reaction. It comes through our head but what we feel and the reason we feel it is our bodily reaction! And long after the reason has gone, it is still seating in the body, in our contracted muscles.
As it’s involuntary body response, we don’t have voluntary control over this tension. And with time the tonicity of our muscles tends to increase, leading chronic muscular tension. Which means the muscles will always feel tired and firm.
People with chronically high tonicity often feel that their muscles are ‘weak’ because they can’t move freely. Sometimes physicians will tell them that the muscles have become weak. On the contrary, their muscles are quite strong, but they are tired and overworked form contracting all the time. The chronically contracted muscle is like a motor that one can’t turn off. It continues to run and to burn up energy. The only way out to work on releasing this tension.
If you want to give it a go, then feel free to book for my class.

A lot of people don’t understand that stretching has to happen on a regular basis. It should be daily,” says David Nolan, a physical therapist at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital.

Why it’s important

Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints. Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.

You may think of stretching as something performed only by runners or gymnasts. But we all need to stretch in order to protect our mobility and independence. “A lot of people don’t understand that stretching has to happen on a regular basis. It should be daily,” says David Nolan, a physical th...
