Holistic health encourages practices such as herbalism, natural remedies, and mindful nutrition to maintain physical health, and of course ... yoga, breathwork, & meditation, mindfulness of what we consume.

I often emphasize the importance of living in harmony with the Earth, which includes taking care of one's body through sustainable and natural means.

A healthy mind is essential for magical and spiritual practices.

Engaging in meditation, visualization, and other mental exercises to foster clarity, focus, and emotional balance.

Recognizing the power of the mind in shaping reality.

I believe in the flow of energy through and around the body.

Practices like chakra balancing, energy healing, and grounding are used to ensure that one's energy is aligned and flowing smoothly.

All of my workshops bring this energy of healing, including Reiki and EFT and more.

This contributes to a sense of vitality and connectedness.

Enjoy the benefits of a soothing sound bath to relax, coupled with breathwork to regulate the nervous system!

Hi! Tandy here with some helpful information on how taking a walk after dinner can help with blood sugar, even some gentle movement is helpful!

If you’ve not seen or had the opportunity to read any of my previous posts, the topic of blood sugar and Type 2 diabetes is near and dear to my heart! Years ago, I was diagnosed with Type 2. I made the decision to change my life, hired a personal trainer, worked harder than I ever worked for anything, lost 100 pounds and reversed the diabetes. It can be done. Is it easy? Absolutely not.
Is it worth it? Absolutely 100%. I became a personal trainer and maintained my health for the past 20 years.

Following is some helpful information how walking after dinner can make a difference in your health!

Blood sugar control is crucial to maintaining good health. Over time, high blood sugar levels can lead to a wide range of serious health problems. These include damage to the nerves, heart, kidneys, eyes, and the large and small blood vessels.

Prediabetes means that blood sugar levels are elevated beyond the normal range, but are not yet high enough to qualify as Type 2 diabetes.

However, someone with prediabetes is at increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. Having Type 2 diabetes raises your chances of developing heart, eye or kidney disease, and having foot problems. It also increases risk of a heart attack or stroke.

The good news is that a healthy diet and regular exercise can reverse prediabetes. That begins with limiting sugar and other simple carbs and avoiding highly processed foods. At the same time, you want to incorporate 25 to 30 grams of fiber per day, preferably from vegetables, fruit, leafy greens and whole grains.

Exercise is also important. When muscles are active, two things occur. They increase their demand for glucose dissolved in the blood. They also become more sensitive to the effects of insulin, the hormone that helps move glucose from the blood and into the muscles to be used as energy.

When it comes to exercise, a group of researchers recently uncovered surprising news. They selected seven studies that looked at how sitting, standing and walking affect the body. In five of the studies, the participants had normal blood sugar. In two, they had either prediabetes or Type 2 diabetes. Among the metrics the researchers examined were changes in blood levels of glucose and insulin.

The data showed that even a five-minute walk after eating a meal had a measurable effect on moderating blood sugar levels. The beneficial effect of walking was observed during a 60- to 90-minute window following the meal. For people who took a walk during that time, changes to blood sugar were not only less extreme, but also occurred more gradually. That's important because sudden blood sugar spikes and drops can raise cardiovascular risk and are believed to play a role in developing Type 2 diabetes.

This positive effect on blood sugar occurred in all the participants who took a post-meal walk, regardless of their diabetes status. Standing after eating also had a beneficial effect, but it was far more modest.

Walking after dinner and its Impact on Insulin~
*Insulin independence: Contracting muscles absorb glucose using a pathway that does not require insulin (via GLUT4 transporters).
*Reduced demand: Less sugar in the blood means your pancreas does not need to release as much insulin.
*Better response: Lower insulin exposure over time helps prevent insulin resistance.

Timing and Duration
*Quick results: Even a short walk lasting 2 to 10 minutes immediately after a meal helps control blood sugar.
*Frequent movement: Short, intermittent walks after meals improve overall daily glycemic control better than sitting for long periods.
A sedentary lifestyle takes its toll in both quality and quantity. My hope is we all get up and move! Even if that looks like a walk after dinner!

Signing off, happy to answer your questions!

Prasarita Padottanasana A ~ a powerful forward-folding yoga pose that combines strength, flexibility, and mindful breathing.

Benefits:
• Stretches the hamstrings, calves, hips & inner thighs
• Lengthens and relaxes the spine
• Strengthens the legs and improves stability
• Encourages hip mobility and better posture
• Calms the mind and promotes relaxation
• Supports mindful breathing and body awareness
Hold gently for 5 deep breaths, staying within your comfortable range.

Caveats:
High / Low Blood Pressure, Glaucoma, and some medications may make you feel dizzy as this is an inversion (head below heart) so practice safely. Modification could be a "half-fold" with hands on mat (or block) to keep your head above the heart and still get benefits from this posture!

Disclaimer: Safety always comes first! Listen to your body, if this or any posture doesn't work for you simply modify or don't do it. Always see your P*P prior to starting any new yoga/fitness routine!

No mud, no Lotus ✨💫✨💫

Don't focus on the future
Focus on what you can do right now
that will be good no matter what the future brings.

Make stuff.
Build stuff.
Learn skills.
Go on adventures.
Make friends.
These things will help in any future.

The worst advice I ever got
(from a medical professional)
"fake it till you make it"

That advice stunted my growth
both personally and professionally.
She put me on two prescriptions
that took me several years to get
off of. (I'm not suggesting anyone
not take their meds)

That was not the first or only
time I was re-traumatized by a
medical professional, and this is
where my journey to self care
really began.

I spent the past 20 years learning
how to take my life back after trauma.
Digging deep.
Shadow work
Overcoming fears
Healing old wounds
Busting through blocks
Crushing limiting beliefs

Its a process
Its ongoing
As is life

Health, both physical & mental,
is a life long journey.

Its what we do today that matters
how we set ourselves up for our future.

Your uniqueness is your magick.

✨The magick is already in you ✨

Child’s Pose isn’t just one pose ~ it has many gentle variations.

Try these variations to relax the body, release tension, open the hips and give your shoulders a well-deserved rest.

Choose the version that feels most comfortable for you and breathe slowly.

Plank
Proper alignment in yoga isn’t just about looking perfect it helps you practice safely and effectively. In this pose, keeping the hips aligned with the spine, shoulders and elbows at the right height, and elbows close to the body can help you maintain stability and control.

Benefits of proper alignment:
• Reduces unnecessary strain on the shoulders, wrists, and lower back
• Improves balance, stability, and body awareness
• Helps activate the intended muscle groups more effectively
• Supports safer and more sustainable practice
• Improves posture and movement control

Remember: Quality of alignment matters more than how deep you can go. Listen to your body and progress gradually. 🙏

Planks are great for strengthening not just core but full body! Planks in yoga are a transitional pose that is used frequently, and can be modified by placing knees on mat.

Always listen to your body, it is okay to feel uncomfortable, it is not okay to feel pain.

We so often miss the beauty of what is right in front of us
The way the sky looks at sunset
The phases of the Moon
The colors of a butterfly
The trees changing for fall
The look of love in your dogs eyes.

My vision is very clear.
What I want.
Where I want to be.
What I need to do to get there.
Who I need to let go of.
Who I need to "Be" to accomplish my goals.

The only way to live the life we dream of
is to change, not just "things" but
change that needs to happen internally,
in our hearts, in our minds and in our souls.

When you get so sick of running in place
you figure out a way to break free.
You were born to fly.

Rising like the Phoenix.
Soaring like the Eagle.
Grounded in who you truly are.
Spread your wings.
The time is Now.

Let go of what's weighing you down.
You are in charge of your own life
and you have all the powers to choose
your next step and shift your paradigm.

We should always be kind. We never know what
anyone is going through and your kindness can
make someone believe in humanity, have faith, and
know that people care.

When we touch another's heart and soul,
that's when we really make a difference.

To the people who have stepped up and helped me,
I love you and thank you. To the people who've shown
their true colors, I love and thank you.
I'm stronger for all of it.

Grace is not a prayer, it’s a lifestyle.

Happy Magikal Wild & Free ✨💫✨💫

Always,
Tandy

🧘‍♀️ Boat Pose (Navasana) Progress Step by Step

Navasana strengthens your core, hip flexors, thighs, and back while improving balance, posture, and body control. The key is to progress gradually rather than forcing the full pose.

🔹 Beginner: Keep the chest open and support behind the knees.
🔹 Intermediate: Extend the legs while keeping the shins parallel to the floor and gaze forward.
🔹 Advanced: Engage the core strongly, straighten the legs, and keep the feet active.

✨ Benefits:
• Builds deep core strength
• Strengthens hip flexors and legs
• Improves balance and stability
• Supports better posture
• Enhances concentration and body awareness

Tip: Keep your spine long and avoid collapsing through the lower back. Quality of alignment matters more than how straight your legs are.

I've also suggested try lifting just one leg at a time, hold for a few moments then switch legs until core strength is build enough to hold both legs up.
