Raining in Baltimore and Sunny at Bodhi Feb '24

I guess we are in the rainy season here in Baltimore. Which reminds me - I can’t wait to get back to Bodhi Tree where it is sunshine and blue skies every day, all day. And during winter!

If you want sunny skies and wrap around warmth next February when it is icy in Baltimore, come join us in Costa Rica at the Bodhi Tree Resort.

Movement & Exercise and the Benefits

We all know movement & exercise are good for us especially as we age, but what does it specifically do to help us?

When we understand the “why” & “how”, it helps with motivation and staying consistent.

If you do not know Jordan Peterson, he’s been through quite a health journey! You can dig deeper and learn about his carnivore diet. He’s a good interviewer on a variety of subjects and this one is fact- & science-packed!

Concerned about dementia? Exercise! The brain weighs a tiny percentage of the body total and uses 25% oxygen intake. Concerned about inflammation, cancer, weight? Yep, all the same! Exercise!

I keep my movement safe and easy on my joints and past injuries. I enjoy walks including hills, yoga and reformer Pilates. Adding the resistance training with the reformer has greatly helped me to stay strong at 60!

Join Me for FREE Saturday 9:30am Zoom Yoga

Group in-person classes are fun, but it can be just as nice to practice from the comfort of your home. Join me on Saturdays 9:30-10:45 ET. It’s a strong alignment based practice that moves a little slower than many classes you will find today. If you’re experienced you will learn how to get stronger and improve form. If you are new, come for the warm up and do as much as your comfort allows.

Free Pop-up Yoga Classes

Free Pop-Up Yoga Classes!

Tuesday 3/1 @ 530pm

Thursday 3/3 @ 12pm

Yoga Instructor, Beth Graham will lead these 1-hour classes with a focus on proper alignment which will allow the body to lengthen and open by using our muscles - the result is no wear and tear on your joints. Rather than forcing our bodies into a position to achieve a pose, we will meet our bodies where they are and modify poses to work with our natural alignment. This style of yoga will help you to maintain functional movements that we do in our daily lives such as carry a child, work in the garden without back pain, walk on the beach without achy knees, and climb stairs with balance.

The classes that Beth teaches are sustainable, freeing, efficient, and smart. You won’t be getting into pretty yoga poses that you see in magazines or on social media, but you will be focused on alignment of your body – think “head, shoulders, hips, knees and ankles all lined up”. Many aches and pains result from chronic misalignment from our feet to our knees, to our hips to our back, and even to our shoulders. This style of teaching corrects alignment of the body and ensures less stress is placed on the spine, joints and soft tissues.

Class will end with rest and recovery – you’ll leave feeling like you worked your muscles, but with a feeling of relaxation! Classes are limited to only 10 students so that you get the attention you deserve and have the space you need. Bring a mat if you have one - if not, we will have some available. Pre-registration in Mind Body is required.
