I’m late getting on my wheel, and I’m blaming it on my delightful houseguests - my mom and sister visiting from Greece. The sweetest distraction. 🍭🥰⁣

⁣
Meanwhile, the pose has me thinking about how rare actual cobblers have become in NYC. The handful that survived now charge the kind of prices that make you stare at your boots like, “Come on, you can make it one more season.”⁣
⁣
Hope you have fun with any version of this shape, and don’t forget to check the creative for tips and more inspiration. ⁣

⁣
Be honest! How many excuses have you made for not rolling out your yoga mat this week? 😅⁣
⁣
We’ve all been there.⁣
The “I’ll do it later.”⁣
The “My knee feels weird today.”⁣
The classic “I swear I was just about to.”⁣
⁣
But once you're finally on your mat, everything changes and suddenly the day doesn’t feel so overwhelming.⁣

Here’s a sneak peek:⁣
𝙎𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨: teaching flows, window-shopping, making sequences.⁣
𝙎𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙖𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙤𝙤𝙣𝙨: replying to emails, drinking tea, scrolling social.⁣
𝙎𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨: cooking, procrastinating, and wondering why I didn’t meditate sooner 😅⁣

Halloween weekend and the city buzzing with the marathon. 👻🏃‍♀️
⁣
Big thanks to for hosting this week's challenge and for this shape.⁣
⁣
This shape is not too tricky, but I can already see a dozen little details I could tweak... like my foot on the wall, which was definitely one 𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘶𝘭 detail.😅⁣
⁣
📝 𝗧𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗛𝗼𝘀𝘁:⁣
• Open up the shoulders with some dolphins, broken wings, lateral bends⁣
• Find a sturdy wall to lean on⁣
• Camera is one block high⁣
• The elbow away from the camera is on the ground, one lower leg distance from the wall, and not completely parallel or perpendicular (about 45°)⁣
• Walk your feet up the wall⁣
• Top of the foot away from the camera is on the wall⁣
• Bring the foot closest to the camera toward the knee (don’t open it too much)⁣
• Hand closest to the camera walks forward so the arm is straight and just past the other hand⁣
• Look under the arm and smile⁣
✨Pro tip: squeeze your glutes while engaging⁣
⁣
Give it a try! ⁣

When my 50+ friend asks how often she should swap her tinted SPF and spin class for rich cream and a Slow Flow yoga session this fall…⁣
I say, 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬 𝗱𝗮𝘆! 💛⁣
⁣
Not to be dramatic 😊 but self-care isn’t just for weekends, and it changes with the seasons. Ayurveda (the sister science of yoga) says fall is about balancing 𝗱𝗿𝘆𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆, so now’s the time to:⁣
⁣
✔️ Swap light creams for rich, nourishing balms⁣
✔️ Choose slower, mindful movement over high-intensity workouts⁣
✔️ Eat warming, seasonal foods like soups, roasted veggies, and spiced teas⁣
✔️ Take mini pauses to recharge and reduce stress ⁣
⁣
If you're ready for a simple, feel-good formula DM me or comment 𝗖𝗔𝗥𝗘 and I’ll send you my free guidebook: 10 Secrets to Feel & Look Great at 50+, packed with yoga, nutrition, skincare, and mindfulness tips. ⁣

𝗗𝗿𝗼𝗽 “𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴” 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜’𝗹𝗹 𝗗𝗠 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗣𝗗𝗙 💛⁣
Save this post to have it ready when your coffee’s brewing. ⁣
This is the 5-minute routine 𝘢𝘭𝘭 my students 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦. ⁣
I do it most mornings sometimes in my kitchen, still in PJs, hair still a mess. It really does wake up everything that feels sleepy. ⁣
⁣
𝗠𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻 + 𝗦𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗰𝗵 - lengthens spine, improves posture. 3–5 breaths each side.⁣
𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗮𝘁-𝗖𝗼𝘄 - mobilizes spine 5–8 slow rounds.⁣
𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗙𝗼𝗹𝗱 - releases shoulders; boosts leg circulation; calms the mind. Hold 3–5 breaths.⁣
𝗦𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗴 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝘁𝘀 - strengthens hips + balance 8–10 reps each side.⁣
𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗱 - 𝗖𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝘀 𝗔𝗿𝗺𝘀 → 𝗧𝗶𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗧𝗼𝗲𝘀 - opens chest, lifts mood, engages core. 3–5 rounds.⁣
⁣
Start your day with a small win. ⁣
Save this and follow for more midlife, beginner-friendly flows and inspiration. ⁣
