Live fully in midlife and beyond
I loved being able to reach so many of you with Yoga online this past fall.
It was a great experience!
So, I’m bringing Belly Fit Yoga back this winter, beginning in January.
It’s a brand new session, with brand new classes.
So, this winter I’m adding something new….
A shorter 30-minute wake-up Yoga class on Tuesday mornings.

It’s been a tough 9 months.
And the pandemic is still there, although there’s now a real light at the end of the tunnel with several possible vaccines.
But we still have to get through the holidays, in this pandemic.
If you’re living in Quebec, you know that the original plan to allow small holiday get-togethers has been canceled.
I’m sure there may be similar restrictions outside the province and in other countries.
So, no extended family, no friends.
And yet, to me, that is the whole point of the holidays.
So, not seeing those I care about that makes me feel sad, angry, all the feelings.
Maybe you’re feeling the same at this uncertain time.
And maybe wine (or beer, or another favorite beverage) has become your therapy of choice.

I was hoping that this fall I’d be able to go back and teach Yoga at my local space.
But that’s not possible, given these Covid times.
So, that’s the bad news.
The good news, though, is that I’ll be teaching Yoga on Zoom, which allows me to reach many more of you!

It seems like this is the advice that’s we’ve been given forever for fat loss.
Just eat less and exercise more.
And it’s still popular, despite the evidence to the contrary.
It’s based on the theory of “calories in, calories out.”
Eat less calories, and burn more calories.
It’s exactly what I learned when I studied to be a personal trainer 15 years ago.
But it turns out that calories have never been the issue.

A few weeks ago I wrote a blog post exploring our belief that aging is inevitable.
The post was inspired by a podcast I was listening to.
And that led me to read the book that inspired the podcast.
Dr. David Sinclair was the interviewee of that podcast, and the author of the book, “Lifespan: Why We Age—and Why We Don’t Have To.”
This book is powerful, and full of the latest cutting-edge science in the field of aging.
Shortly after finishing the book, and by beautiful coincidence, I found out the guy – Dr. David Sinclair – was coming to McGill as a guest speaker at their annual science symposium!

I’m 47 today.
I put that out there because I’m kind of proud of it.
At 47, I feel strong, healthy, and more energetic than a decade ago (maybe that’s cause the kids are older.)
And kind of scared of it, I won’t lie.
In my worst moments, I feel like I’m running out of time.

If you had have asked me this question last week, I’d have said “Of course!”
Aging is just a natural part of life, it’s like a law or something unchangeable, everyone has to age.
And in fact, I’m ok with that.
I don’t really want to live forever.
But I do want to live healthy as long as possible.
I want a long health span, not just a long life span.
And the newest research in aging is showing how we can have both.
