It was fun! As always everything run smoothly from warm-up to various presentations, lesson and practice. It was my first time as a staff member and that was an unusual experience. The focus shifted from what will be coming next to what will we be doing next. Just looking at all those people who came to be part of it was making me feel happy.There is some talk about doing the same lecture again, maybe in spring.

Dahn Yoga: Be kind to your body and mind
For years, there was a fundamental disconnect between the way we perceived the brain and our physical body. While we knew there would be inevitable deterioration in our physical prowess as we aged, there was also an understanding we could mitigate the worst effects by exercising and paying attention to our diet. Our brain, however, was placed in a different category. After 40, we were told, it embarked on a slow and steady decline, and there was little we could do to stave off the decay. Luckily, we now knoww that particular theory of our mental life span is fundamentally flawed: The brain can grow and renew itself throughout our lives.
To be sure, as we age, there are some changes in our mental capacities, particularly in our short-term memories. and a portion of our mental trajectory is determined by genetics.
But scientists have documented that our most important organ is fundamentally “plastic.” That is, it reconfigures itself in response to our behavior. And if we make a point of nourishing our mental, physical, and spiritual selves, we can make real strides in protecting our mind as we grow older.
