Newport Beach 50+ Meetup Group

Even though few MeetUp people sign up, we typcally get 20-30 people in the discussion group. Here's the scoop. When you are over 50 years old, lots of weird and strange things happen and it's a great time to think about WHAT IT ALL MEANS.

In this discussion group, we will discuss a variety of philosophy topics, and try to understand how they affect our lives.

This will be low key: lots of talking, not much lecturing, and the concepts will be made easy. It will be FUN! I promise or your money back! Except it's free anyway!

We'll talk about cool things like Plato's allegory of the cave, the Myth of Sisyphus, and ALL SORTS of topics. Ovens will be available so we can BAKE OUR OWN PHILOSOPHY! I mean, conceptually.

If you want to join in with this group, first email Janet at jlsyogatherapy@gmail.com to make sure of times and dates....

This class meets twice a week, on Mondays and Wednesdays. For the MeetUp Group, I will only post once a month so you don't get tons of emails. Again, ALWAYS email Janet first to make sure of times and dates...

MEET PEOPLE AND STRETCH WITH THEM. OR STRETCH WITH PEOPLE THEN MEET THEM. THEN GO SHOPPING AT RALPH'S WHICH IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER! THINK OF HOW GOOD YOU'LL FEEL SHOPPING AFTER DOING YOGA!

Course 1 – Healthy Spine, Healthy Life
Because your spine is the core of your anatomy, we will begin there. The stability and flexibility of your spine sustain your physical, mental, and emotional health.
This first course includes practices to improve the strength, balance, and alignment of your spine. In this series, we will explore practices that focus on the six directional movements of the spine (extension, forward bending, backward bending, lateral flexion, rotation, and inversion).
You will gain postural stability, improve spinal alignment, decrease back pain, and better understand the anatomy of your axial skeleton (the 80 bones within your body core: cranial and facial bones, neck, vertebrae, sacrum, and tailbone, sternum, and ribs).

Course 2 – Remove Imbalances and Create Functional Movement
We will explore practices for your hips, pelvis, knees, back, neck, and shoulders working with your muscles and appendicular skeleton (the upper and lower extremities including your shoulder girdle and pelvis.).

Course 3 – The Door In
We will restore and improve balance in your nervous system using breath-focused asana and pranayama to reduce stress, improve sleep, and increase resiliency and vitality. We will improve the health of your internal organs, strengthen your cardiovascular system, respiratory system, nervous system, immune system, digestive system, eliminatory system, and hormonal and endocrine systems. Pranayama also helps with emotional balance and mental focus.

Course 4 – Tantric Practices and Laya Yoga
We will connect with sources of happiness and joy using visualization, mantra, movement, and meditation.

Each course will include specific practices to use as a mirror to help you discover yourself. The knowledge you gain will help you increase more ease in movement, and increase overall wellness for a more productive and vibrant life.

Please consider joining your friends and neighbors as we journey forward.

Please email me if you have any questions or comments.

Looking forward to continuing our journey together towards more health, balance, happiness, and joy.

Namaste,

Namaste 🙏,
