Chair Yoga Could Help Mitigate Dementia Symptoms, New Study Finds Here's hoping this can help the 50 million people across the globe living with dementia.

These true words are for all, don’t limit yourself go out and enjoy movement, whether you in the Pilates or Yoga class

Many people come to yoga without much experience in physical activity.

Sometimes they describe themselves as ‘limited’, ‘inflexible’, ‘unable’, ‘non-athletic’ or use some other negative image of their body.
Often this self-image is deeply internalised.

Do you relate to this?

But the truth is:
For anyone who can commit to any sort of physical practice, change is not only possible, it is inevitable.
Strength, flexibility, focus and coordination are skills that must be practiced and learned.

Show up on the mat.
Free yourself from old stories.
Set all fears aside.
Move, mindfully, one breath at a time.

The answer is Pilates 👏👏👏

🙌 WHY BAD POSTURE HAPPENS!!
If you have a tendency to slouch and feel comfortable when you’re slumped over, it is because your body believes that a hunched spine is the most efficient position available to you based on how you move (or don’t move)
Also your resting posture will be determined / influence by
-poor work habits mixed in with poorly designed work environment
-asymmetrical patterns of body use (boxing, golfing, tennis, etc)
-postural adaptions from last injuries -adaptation to repetitive strain or emotional stress
😑All these things may lead to a reduction in your tissues capacity to lengthen and in turn make your body contort to less than optimal positions
The example I always use is what happens to your rhomboid tissue when you slouch : it ends STUCK in a lengthened position
(See illustration)
NOTE: Just because the muscle is stuck in a lengthened position, it doesn’t mean that it knows how to lengthen. If anything it has a hard time lengthening more because it’s already near max length and there’s little stretch leftover

Here Are the Health Benefits of Pilates You’ll improve core strength and stability—and maybe a lot more.
