Here at Svastha Lincs CIC and with the help and expertise of Yoga with Rebecca we are always on the look out for inspiration for our service users.
And this week the brilliant episode about balance on What's Up Docs? was perfect. We explored balance and even tried a couple things given as advice on the programme.
And what I, as the teacher really liked was the way this conversation went just that bit deeper than strength, flexibility and balancing exercises.
Balance overall in lifestyle was looked at. So if we are simply rushing around paying no attention and not caring for ourselves, then we end up being disconnected from how we feel. Sight, ear health, neck, feet and ankles all make up the support system in balance so if we no longer are able to be aware of these things then we increase risk of falling.
Proprioception, our awareness of where our body is in space, relies very much on the inner ear. And if we never tune into that during quiet times we are missing a trick.
Furthermore foot and ankle health is critical, so anything from neuropathy to injuries and stiffness greatly impedes our confidence and balance.
Whether we like it or not, from the age of 30 our muscles start to lose strength. So falls prevention is a lifelong project, not just after the first fall in later years.
This week's session was great fun and just a little bit challenging. Come along and have a lovely herbal tea, chat a d then the mindful practice. We guarantee you'll feel better for it
