Back in January I was hit by a car. While I'm still healing, I want to attempt to return to work. While this is one of those life changing events that literally is a game changer, I want to get on it with life. 

I'm rebuilding my bodywork practice. If you need work, or know someone who does, keep me in mind.

Getting Stronger, Getting Older

About the time I turned 50 I began to realize a weakness in my body I wasn't use to. I started to explore working with weights and getting and staying strong. I couldn't get into a routine, and wasn't wild about going to the gym. Even though I work as a yoga instructor in two fitness clubs. I found a book on body weight exercises by Mark Lauren. Every exercise you do with stuff in your house. I like the idea, so I looked at his website. He has an app for apple and android devices. The app has 4 levels. Each level is 10 weeks. The routines are around 36 minutes. The exercises are adjustable. I love it. It's great to get back some strength. Physiology books, and expert science exercise writers say that strength training is important as we age. While yoga and pilates are excellent tools, Mark Lauren's method works all the muscle groups, push and and pull exercises, in a very balanced way.  I still do yoga and pilates. For now, the Mark Lauren app is my base for physical fitness.
