Arthritis is a joint disorder that involves inflammation of the joints. The most common type of arthritis is osteoarthritis, and it's caused by natural wear and tear, injury or infection. Mrs. Connie reminded us the best thing to do is KEEP MOVING. We moved for healthy joints tonight. We're seeing a pattern in that postures that are great for knee health are the same ones for core strength, healthy backs and arthritis! YEA for YOGA!
Thanks to Shannon for sharing that a favorite hymn was "This is My Father's World." We did a neat meditation including it and a story about listening for God's voice (thanks to Mrs. Julie, a housekeeper at PHES, for sharing it with me today)!
Here's the tips I was trying to remember! When feeling:
overexcited, nervous, antsy--folds (1) forward fold (2) monkey (halfway lift and lengthen)
tired, sad, heavy--back bending poses (1) snake (2) table (3) superhero
scattered, unstable, overwhelmed--standing poses (1) tree (2) mountain
I liked using the wall and chair as props to help you yoga. In October we'll concentrate on bones, moon salutations and other SPOOKY FUN.
Don't be scared! Meet you on the mat,
D'Etta
