How fitness can help mental health
Even as I help women get stronger, I can feel powerless sometimes. Just like you, I find myself wondering – in the midst of mind-numbing news constantly coming at us from around the globe – what can I do? What difference can I make when life feels so “out of control” and even dangerous?

Here’s what you can do before, during and after a round of coughing, sneezing or jumping to prevent problems:
When you’re in the middle of jumping, coughing, sneezing, or laughing, what can you do to protect your core? Connect your breathing with the work: Exhale to engage with each exertion.

As I write this short blog, I’m 42 myself, and I’ve found so many things that are helping me manage the symptoms of perimenopause.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗔𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗗𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻?
Once more: We do not serve our fitness practice. It should serve us. If the way in which we practice fitness harms us, it is not serving us, and that violates many principles of basic self-care and Yoga which teaches non self-harm (ahimsa).

What Fitness Does for Birth
I follow a page on facebook called Made to Birth, and she asked a question: How do you go with your body? What do you do to be tuned in to birth?
