Flowing into Grace: Qi Gong Mindful Movement to Renew and Restore Vital Life Force Energy

In this program, we will be setting our intentions, then opening the energetic pathways of the body with several Qigong styles to release stuck qi and absorb new and vital life force energy. Each day will begin with a morning mindful walking meditation to help clear our minds and set our focus for the day’s practice. The movements we will practice are suitable for all levels and most can be adapted for those who have difficulty standing.

Hiking, Yoga, and More with Robert Evans in Ojai, California

Robert in Los Padres National Forest

Ojai, California is home to some of the best trails I have ever hiked, and most of them are just minutes away from us. Paul and I have hiked here and there on the weekends, but most of my trail time happens on Monday mornings with a group led by Robert Evans via the Ojai Valley Athletic Club.

Pull on Your Toes!

Sparkle up your poses by pulling up your toes! Try this: in down dog, wiggle your feet back to lengthen, then come up on your toes, bend your knees, keeping the upper back slightly rounded, push through the legs and straighten out into plank pose. Your shoulders will be slightly in front of your hands but you’ll feel stronger. Hold 5-10 seconds, then wave back into down dog and PULL up your toes. Repeat 3-5 times then land it into your sphinx, cobra. or up dog pose. Keep learning, I am! Please feel free to share tips, ideas, or concerns on my new blog page and I’ll keep new stuff coming.
