The instructions for winter weather: If the power is out class is cancelled. If schools are closed AND the heavy snow is coming down overnight or early morning so that we all have a hard time digging out, then class is cancelled since the parking lot at the studio will also be snowed under.
We will do our best to text or email everyone if this is the case. Do we have your info?

7 movements or tapping for healthy lymphatic flow

6 places to tap, rub or massage for lymphatic flow

As part of the class warm up we sometimes massage or tap these spots to wake up the lymphatic flow. Gentle rubbing/pulling in the order given so as to open and begin the clearing and draining at the largest body filtering spot first.
1) Above and below collar bones
2) Jaw line under ears
3) Arm pit, front chest, on back behind arm pit
4) Abdomen between navel and sternum
5) Groin/Hip crease
6) Behind knees

Then the 7th important move is to jump and shake for a minute or so. This is a simple short routine to do everyday to keep the body’s filtration system moving. To get more details of this routine, look here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIJZKjoO-tM

Welcome Year of the Rabbit 2023

Just for fun we have a class devoted to the Chinese New Year. The class will be Jan 31 2023. It’s the year of the Rabbit.
Were you born after January in any of these years: 1951, 1963, 1975 or 1987?
The Rabbit is associated with the blossoming energy of fertile spring and represents new life. The Rabbit has special affinity with children and anyone in need of nurturing and protection. If you are a rabbit, you might find you are drawn to home and family and willing to make sacrifices for them. Early morning or a quiet peaceful background suits you best. The blessing of the rabbit is the protective, generous supportive care given, but the challenge is the need for constant reassurance.
There is also the mythology of the Rabbit that indicates cleverness, craftiness, quickness and good luck.

Anti-fragile yoga practice

More links with great resources around the interwebs.
First on the subject of supplements. Osteoporosis cannot be simplified down to the idea that it is a “calcium deficiency.” There are other nutrients and minerals that work in concert with calcium, like magnesium, K2, D3 and Boron to name a few. Get more education, then evaluate your own personal circumstances to decide if you need supplements, and which ones.

Yoga for osteoporosis

During some weeks of spring and summer at Rexburg Yoga, we will practice the series of poses suggested by Dr. Loren Fishman – Go here for more information on the background and studies on osteoporosis and yoga done by Dr. Fishman:

The practice is 12 poses held for an average of 45 seconds. The length can vary depending upon individual needs. There is no particular order needed in the postures and each one can be done modified for more or less challenge.
tree, triangle, warrior 2, side angle, revolved triangle, bridge, locust, reclined leg stretch straight up and to the side, 2 different twists, & relaxation.
Here is a recommended video with great instruction for the 12 postures:

Positive EFT tapping

Part of our longer class to celebrate fall was a little section on positive EFT Tapping. Here is the pdf of what we learned.

An e-book is also out there if you’d like even more details about EFT. We like our students to have and use tools to take personal responsibility for health and wellness. Tapping is one we recommend.

Mirrors

Leslie took these pictures in a grocery store parking lot on the first day of spring and it’s a good mix of water, snow, sun, and beauty that we get those early days of spring. A friend – Heather Kelly wrote all the poetry to go along.
