Yoga for Longevity and Fitness

I needed more than Yoga for my fitness practices so…

I developed Yoga for Longevity, Pickleball, Golf and beyond! Reset your mindset with long-term health and you can lock in every day health, fitness and love it!

Here are the Core pillars for a long and healthy life:

Stay physically active. Do it! Regular exercise is  the most impactful habit for promoting longevity. 

  • Aerobic and Yoga and strength training:Incorporate both to strengthen your heart, lungs, and muscles.

  • Move regularly: Reduce sedentary time by breaking up long periods of sitting with short walks or stretches.

  • Find enjoyable activities:Consistency is key, so choose activities you like, such as walking, cycling, gardening, or dancing. The American Heart Association recommends at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity per week. 

  • Embrace a Mediterranean-style diet: This eating pattern, which emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, legumes, and lean proteins like fish, has been shown to lower the risk of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.

  • Limit unhealthy items: Drastically reduce your intake of processed foods, added sugars, unhealthy fats, and excessive red and processed meat.

  • Manage portion sizes: Be mindful of how much you eat, and focus on consuming nutrient-dense foods.

  • Stay hydrated: Drink water throughout the day. Some research links good hydration to a reduced risk of chronic diseases. 

Prioritize high-quality sleep. Getting sufficient, restful sleep is essential for a long and healthy life.

  • Aim for 7–9 hours: The recommended amount of sleep for adults is seven to nine hours per night.

  • Establish a routine: Promote better sleep hygiene by going to bed and waking up at the same time each day, keeping your room cool and dark (romantic?)!

  • Improve sleep quality: Avoid alcohol and large meals before bedtime.

  • Embrace a Mediterranean-style diet: This eating pattern, which emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, legumes, and lean proteins like fish, chicken, cottage cheese (my favorite) has been shown to lower the risk of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.

  • Limit unhealthy items: Drastically reduce your intake of processed foods, added sugars, unhealthy fast food.

  • Manage portion sizes: Be mindful of how much you eat, eat slower, and focus on consuming nutrient-dense foods.

  • Stay hydrated: Drink water throughout the day!

Get high-quality sleep, get up and move, Dance and socialize!

Namaste,
