Had a glorious weekend co-facilitating the Women's Weekend at Camp Cross! Chair Yoga in the Ark in the morning, with beautiful Coeur d'Alene Lake in our gaze, sharing meals with the women (and men!) and the Camp Staff, waking to the sounds of the birds beginning their morning chorus before 5am! This was my fourth time to be there, and the best yet. The drawing of the Ark was done by my young friend Kade during our Delights session.

Meditation for any day, any time.

Sharing some Election Day words of wisdom from my Yoga Therapy colleague Carol Klammer:

Can I make some suggestions?
Our anxiety has a basis in reality-- HOWEVER: there are things we can do to manage it.
1- LIMIT the social media & News
2-Breathing in this ratio, lying with a book (small amt of weight) on your belly (abdominal-diaphragmatic breathing--KEY*)
Ratio: Inhale count 4, Exhale count 6, 7, or 8. Keep it calm and slow. Keep your mind on that.
3-Get some ratty old socks and massage coconut or untoasted sesame oil on your feet before bed. Wear the socks to keep your bedding from getting trashed.
HUGS friends, we will get through this!! ♥♥♥♥♥

Yes!

For the 100+ million people struggling with chronic pain, here is some good news.

A recent study found that hatha yoga can help reduce the experience of chronic pain and the depression that often accompanies this issue.

Amen, sister!

How is a yoga teacher supposed to respond when asked to choose the best pose ever? A magical pose that could possibly cure lower back pain?

Yoga teacher, Kristine Kaoverii Weber gave it some thought and came up with three great poses -- probably not miracle poses -- but great for building immunity, strength, and resilience.

See what Kristine recommends!
