International Day Of Yoga - Special Yoga Event for Folks Over 50

 



 Wednesday 21st of June-  U.N. International Day of Yoga.  It is also summer solstice (in the Northern Hemisphere).  What a bright ray of sunshine it is to see yoga celebrated in this amazing way.  It truly is so wonderful that globally, yoga is recognized as a healing modality.  Yoga is a powerful way to help heal and connect people to their breath, their body, their mind and their spirit. 

I will be celebrating the U.N.  International Day of Yoga 2023  by offering a yoga workshop for new students to my Joint Renewal System of yoga.  Based on both Kaiut and Scaravelli traditions, I offer this joint renewal method to folks over 50 who want to live a long and healthy life.

This is for Folks who don't want to get old and stiff, who want to do something positive about their joints.  And who realise that having healthy joints requires moving in ways that not only extend range of motion but also restore function.   

The Joint Renewal System is not  repetative movements like what you might find at the gym, I specialize in differentiation,  and in this method we do not stretch, but apply the pressure and kindness to the parts of the body and joints that hurt, that may be in pain and you come to a deep understanding that awareness, breath, kindess and pressure are the true components for you to heal.  

We drop into the origins of yoga and bring it up to date to offer solutions to the western lifestyle diseases and weaknesses of the body and mind.  

 Deeply relaxing and powerfully transformative the Joint Renewal System is revolutionizing yoga. 

Join me on Wednesday 21st June at 2.30pm - the workshop is both on line and in person and you can register here.  https://www.momoyoga.com/kathy-white-yoga/register/

Thumbs Up - how yoga helps with stiffness and pain in the hands

Image
  You might be like many people over 50, who has found that as you age, arthritis in the hands , stiffness and general aging in the joints of the fingers has created certain weakness or discomfort when you try to use your hands for certain tasks.   I often have students ask me about the painful joints in their fingers and hands, could be the thumb joint, could be overall arthritic hands.    One task I often refer my students to is the Jam Jar Exercise .  How easy do you find it to open a jar?  Believe me, the manufacturers of jam jars have not made them any more difficult to open than 20 years ago!  But your hands might well have lost the strength they once had to open a jar.  Many yoga methods or approaches do not give specific attention to the hands or fingers, which is why in my joint renewal approach (which is designed specifically for folks over 50) I spend a lot of time teaching my students how to deal with strengthening and developing ...

How Many Types of Yoga Are There? Find the Perfect Type of Yoga for your Skill Level

Image
Confused about which yoga is right for you? Yin yoga, Hot yoga, restorative yoga, kundalini,  Ashtanga, Iyenga, vinyasa, bikram, power yoga, butti yoga, naked yoga, I even know a teacher who teaches high heels yoga ! Then there are yogas that don’t use the body, Kriya Yoga (a system of mind, breath and devotion), Raja Yoga (meditation and mindfulness), Karma Yoga (working in service), Yoga Nidra ( a yoga meditation that can result in falling asleep what's not to like about that!) No wonder people who want to take up a yoga practice are confused and unsure of what style, skill or level they need to be at when they start. Firstly, let’s be clear that ALL yoga involving any physical asanas (postures) is called hatha yoga. So let's make this clear, there are 8 limbs of yoga as set out in the ancient texts by Patanjali and the 3rd Limb are Asanas or Postures. You could say hatha yoga is the umbrella term for all yogas that are to do with physically moving the b...

How Yoga Can Help with Hip Issues

Image
How yoga can help with hip function is by creating stability in the pelvis.   Good healthy hip function is achieved not by doing what most people think they need to do.  Stability in the pelvis is often overlooked when it comes to hip issues.    Most will try to open, expand, stretch their hips, and actually this is not dealing with the joint, but rather the muscles, ligaments and tendons around the joint. And often these movements and stretches are done without any regard for the foundation of structure and tone.  Although it might look as though you have more more flexibility in the short term, actually without creating a stable foundation in the pelvis, there can be instability in the long run. The Joint Renewal System is revolutionary as it looks a hip function from a much wider perspective.  How you move your ankles, your feet, and how you create stability in the pelvis all impact the healthy function of your hips.   A lack of ...
