This article is quite relevant and timely in my world. I am a swimmer, love me a pool! Last week I decided to try yoga and sadly we did not jive :(. The instructor explained to me that as we "Mature" we loose our balance. After holding myself back from hitting him in the shin I realized, if this is true I must do something about it. He also explained that while I was flexible [ amen for that ] I needed to concentrate on my core. This is goal for the next few months and then, I take on this Yoga Challenge. Great article. Thanks @Katie Bean:)

Yikes - doesn't sound like the teacher for you. Maybe try Janine's online class!! Might be a better fit. Core strength is useful always and as we age but Janine focuses on holistic strength!

I really connect to this interview Katie and Janine.

Well done and thank you!

Yes, yes, yes, I just wrote about this topic of a festival that connected me deep to the belly of joy/laughter and unburied a side door I had to walk through and write about.

I was a yoga teacher for 15 years in my before children life. I fell out of balance in an unbalanced world — broke my leg at 64, now in my 67th year I am back in yoga and preparing to get the screws out of my knee.

Yoga supports everyone in their own unique way as you discuss exquisitely within the 8-limbs of yoga.

Thank you for sharing, Prajna. Broken leg at 64 sounds scary and life-altering- glad to hear you're healing 🙌

I will be reading your post now as I'm intrigued!
