Please feel free to share any other thoughts you have about Dfly, hot yoga, or your life as we would love to know more about you.
I’m a retired rheumatologist who specialized in musculoskeletal medicine. Yoga makes sense to me as a compliment to aerobics and weight training.
There’s a book Younger Next Year by Chris Crowley and Henry Lodge that provides ideas for aging well. Yoga aligns with several of their 7 rules: Exercise six days a week for the rest of your life. Care. And Commit. Everyone over 60 should read it. During yoga class, I completely lose track of time. It’s meditative. Falling is an all too common life-altering event as people age. Yoga improves strength and balance—the perfect preventive strategy for us older folks. I like being in classes with younger people who have embraced exercise in spite of their demanding schedules, and with other retirees who are thinking Younger Next Year.
