Bird dog pose:
Good for abdominals and back support, and for balance. The health of the spine is extremely important as we age.
Start by kneeling and stretching one arm forward and the opposite leg back. Imagine you have a tea cup on your back and draw your belly button towards your spine. Stay for a breath and then switch sides. Repeat a few times.
Namaste 🙏

I love the smell of incense. I no longer even wear perfume, I use essential oil in an incense aroma, nag champra, and get so many compliments.
I also use sage in my home and found this wonderful sage spray. Its white sage and patchouli by Soul Stick. Its lighter then burning incense but still a lingering scent. If you like the thought of incense, but dont know where to begin, I would highly recommend trying these. You can get both the essential oil and the sage spray at Cupboard and Cauldron in Point Pleasant, or of course on Amazon. The sage spray comes in several lovely scents, I also use Lavendar and Patchouli in my bedroom for calming down after the day.
Scent is a very powerful sense and its so great to come home to a scent that warms the soul. I wish you could smell it thru the phone or computer.
(BTW, I am not getting paid to endorse any of this, just sharing my experience).
Make sure you nourish the whole you, body, mind and spirit or soul.
Namaste 🙏

This is so important for religious folks who think yoga is evil and you have to worship Buddha....

The Buddha was not a god who demanded worship. He was a human being who sought truth, overcame suffering, and awakened through his own effort. His teaching reminds us that transformation begins within us. We can learn, practice, and walk the path toward wisdom and compassion.

Yoga is a part of Ayurvadic medicine. A tip i learned long ago at a yoga retreat at Himalayan Institute is to oil your body.
Don't dry yourself off completely after a shower and use light sesame oil
( I love Neutrogena light sesame oil) all over to hold in some moisture. So important as we age. Leathery skin is not a good look at any age.
Thanks to Yogi Cameron for this reminder.
Oil up!!!!!
Namaste

Take a pause right now. Drop your shoulders, let your jaw relax, and take a deep, slow breath in... then let it out gently.
You do not have to rush or carry the whole day at once. Give yourself permission to reset and just be. Namaste.

Warrior 3 (Virabhadrasana III) is a strong standing balance yoga pose that shapes your body into a single horizontal line parallel to the floor. It builds total-body stability by strengthening your ankles, legs, core, and back while challenging your focus.
If you have trouble with balancing, just use a chair for assistance, first with 1 hand, then a light finger touch, then just let the chair be there "just in case", you need to steady yourself Make balancing fun
Namaste 🙏
