A special Thank You plus a little bit extra

I would like to start by thanking you for being a subscriber to Yoga Living 50 and Beyond. When I started this Substack in January of 2024, I had decided I wanted to move at a slower pace and direct more of my attention to blog post writing. I was moving toward leaving Instagram ( I finally left in April), as it just felt like screaming into the void. I wanted to focus more on connecting with my audience and students through my writing, and Substack seemed like the place to do that.

Since then I I have grown more than I could have imagined. At this moment I have 90 subscribers, 4 of them paid, and I appreciate all of you. My hope is that my writing helps you learn a little more about yourself and that you can benefit from my “well earned” wisdom.

When I began my own yoga journey, almost 30 years ago, I had no idea that I would still be practicing in my 50s, let alone that I would ever be in my 50s! While longevity is strong in my family, how we age is not always something we have full control over. We do the best we can with the tools we have. And as Maya Angelou said, “when we know better, we do better.”

I would love to invite you to a free webinar that I am running this coming Friday, May 17th at 5:30pm EDT called “Empower Your Movement: Why Yoga for Active Aging?” This webinar is for anyone who is new to practicing yoga, or is simply “yoga curious,” and you want to learn how practicing yoga can benefit you as you age.

In this talk, you will learn how yoga can help you build strength, improve balance, increase mobility, and help you manage the thoughts in your head. Aging is no joke and can be really unkind, both mentally and physically. You lose strength, mobility, and balance, all of which can lead to falls, injury, and pain. 

Yoga is a science and practice that can make the aging process more comfortable in both your mind and body. By the end of this webinar, you will understand what yoga is and isn't, and how it could be exactly what you are looking for to take charge of your health! 

It’s free, so come if you like. If not, no worries. There is a replay available to anyone who registers if you can’t make it live, plus some really cool stuff I am offering to anyone who attends. I wanted to extend a special invitation to you, my valued subscribers, because you matter to me. Thank you for being part of this community!

Click here if you’d like to sign up. Whether you sign up or not, I’ll see you in my next post on Saturday!

Thanks for being here, I am so grateful for you!
