Every day is a new opportunity to grow and transform our body, mind and spirit. When we slow down to listen to the wisdom within us — and in the world around us — wonderful changes can occur. To help you get started, I’ll share a weekly “Transformational Challenge” that can bring both growth and […]
You and I are infinite choice makers. Each day we make countless choices — what to eat, what to say, what to think, what to believe, what to doubt, and on and on. With these quiet decisions we create not only our today, but also our future. Deliberate creation occurs when we know what we […]
Become a Patron! As 2014 gets closer, are you thinking about any fitness resolutions? One colleague told me recently “I’m hating my gym membership already” – and this is before she’s taken her first class! In fact, many of us start off the New Year with grueling plans about what kind of exercise we’re going […]
Become a Patron! I have so many clients who wrinkle their noses at the idea of weight training, even though they know it’s good for them. Ditto yoga, ditto t’ai chi. It only makes sense — what one person finds invigorating and fun is a boring chore to someone else. That’s why figuring out what […]

From what I’ve seen, exercise is one natural approach that is as good as any drug for preventing and reversing osteoporosis. Exercise is so important to my Better Bones program that I am dedicating much of the coming year to sharing with you my cutting-edge perspectives on exercise and bone strength. Let’s start by talking […]
You have probably heard that back strengthening exercise helps to prevent spinal osteoporotic fractures — but are all types of exercises equally beneficial? No, they are not, as clearly documented by an early Mayo Clinic study (Sinaki and Mikkelsen 1984). This study showed clearly that extension-type back strengthening exercise effectively prevented further spinal deformation in […]
“The foot feels the foot when it feels the ground.” – The Buddha Now that winter is finally over — after what seems like forever — more and more of us are getting outside and being active. It’s a time that I like to go for walks to watch the world wake up from its long sleep. […]
