Restorative Yoga at the Fort graphic with Yogi Theo

Namaste Fort Massey yogis and fogis,

Before we get to the new FOGA class at Fort Massey and a couple of P-themed elements (as in pain and problems) for the last week of this pretty dagnabbit survivable first month of 2020, a fond farewell to substitute teacher Kanae who heads home to Japan 🇯🇵 this week. 😢

FOGA (Fifty + Over YOGA) starts February 5th at 9 a.m. Yep, that's a morning class. It's based on the six-week-long program for Strength, Balance, Flexibility, and Pain Relief developed by Kimberly Carson and Carol Krucoff at Duke Integrative Medicine/Duke University Medical Center, called "Relax into Yoga for Seniors".

N.B.If you or a FOGI you know are planning to join us for this 6-WEEK series, please complete the waiver form on the websiteor download this PDF, fill it out and bring it with you to class. Thanks! And no, "My downward dog ate my waiver form" is not an exceptable excuse.

RESTORATIVE YOGA continues on Tuesday evenings at 6:30 PM (please come a few minutes early if you're new to yoga or the Fort Massey family).

Both classes are in the Lower Hall at Fort Massey United Church.

Seven Pathways For Getting Out of Pain

In 2014 Todd Hargrove published a book called "A Guide to Better Movement: The Science and Practice of Moving with More Skill and Less Pain". Last week he wrote a blog post titled Seven Pathways for Getting out of Pain.

As you'd expect, it mentions yoga but it also talks about rest, strength training and mindfulness.

Some of his other blog posts talk about:

  • pain science
  • corrective exercise
  • the science of mind-body practices
  • common myths related to manual or movement therapies

How To Make Your Problems Seem Really Really Small

The Stillness Project's marketing can be somewhat "in your face" at times but Tom's heart is in the right place and you can almost never go wrong with dads-talking-to-their-sons stories (unless the dad's name is Homer and the son's name is Bart).

This is worth the three minutes (not light-minutes, thank the heavens) it takes to read it.
Even a goldfish has an attention span long enough to read this. You can do it.
