Aging With Equanimity™ Yoga Circle Workshop for Women on Sunday, January 12, 2020 from 1:30 to 4:30 pm in San Jose.

There is a proverb that says: “it isn’t what happens to us that causes us to suffer; it’s what we say to ourselves about what happens.” The same is true for aging: Aging doesn’t have to cause us to suffer, it is what we tell ourselves about aging that can mean suffering or not.

Of course there are changes that happen to our bodies as we age. This is normal. But it doesn’t mean the end of living a full and active life. We continue to live by remaining engaged, connected and involved. One of the best ways to do this is through gentle yoga and mediation that is designed specifically for our aging bodies/selves.

So how old do you feel inside? Is it older or younger than you actually are? What did you parents teach you about aging? Did they embrace getting older or reject it? Did you receive positive, negative or mixed messages? So much of how we react to getting older can be from cultural, societal and most importantly family messages.
