As of December 28th, 2023 I will no longer be teaching regular classes at the McFarland Senior Center. I will be traveling in my little camper to see National Parks and Woodstock School Classmates from India. I will still record my weekly yoga practice and will happily share it with you if you request it by email or text. Bear in mind I will not always have cell reception or wiFi so my response may be delayed. $10 donation for each Zoom recording--good for a week.

August 28-31st Relief from Hand Pain In your hand there are three main arches, two transverse and one longitudinal arch. One arch is rigid, but the other two are flexible and are maintained by the use of those tiny muscles in your hand. You can see the shape of your arches by touching thumb to index finger or thumb to little finger. We will concentrate on our hands but we will also do our Top 10 Yoga Poses adding some hand movements. We will review the Chakra Hand Mudras.

This is such a common theme, but sure! Why not? In truth, we "Do Knees" every time we practice yoga as most of what we do in class helps our knees. Three salient points: 1. track your knee over the middle of your toes 2. Try to keep your knee stacked over your ankle when in static standing poses. 3. Strong knees benefit from strong supporting structures: hamstrings, quads, ADDuctors and ABDuctors and Bum muscles.

I was asked by one of my students...so I researched it and "Yes, apparently it can". A Hiatal Hernia is a condition in which part of the stomach pushes up through the diaphragm muscle. We will explore ways in which we can strengthen the diaphragm muscle. Often poor posture can exacerbate a hiatal hernia and we talk about posture and ways to combat the 'head forward syndrome' frequently. Many of the yoga postures are also recommended for strengthening the diaphragm and help relieve the symptoms of a hiatal hernia...Bridge, "Hug the Belly Breathing", Diaphragmatic Breathing with weight on the stomach, East/West breathing. Chair, Pec Stretch (think clamshell twist), Recruitment of the Transversus Abdominis (think pull your 'hip headlights' together), Wall Angel (Upsalute at the wall). It all sounds familiar and what we practice in class every week! Huh! Who knew?!?!
