Eating your way young

By EllEn Wood

We all need nourishment in the form of food; we just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need as much of it as some of us eat. Sometimes we stuff ourselves, stretching our stomachs so more food is required to be satisfied. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one way to get old and unhealthy fast.

The one well-studied and proven technique you can use to turn back the clock is calorie restriction. That’s something that all the scientists and researchers who study anti-aging agree upon, based on the results of numerous studies. I’m definitely not talking about starving yourself, or leaving the table still hungry — I am suggesting, though, to stop before you’re full. There’s a Japanese practice called “hara hachi bu,” translated “belly 80 percent full.” Since it takes about 20 minutes for our stomach to communicate its ‘fullness’ to the brain, it’s best to stop when you feel 80 percent full. (You can take a guess as to what 80 percent feels like.) Have you ever eaten until full, only to find yourself feeling over-stuffed 20 minutes later? This Confucian teaching is designed to keep the belly from being too full. It’s practiced by the Okinawans in Japan, who are documented as having incredible longevity. So the next time you sit down to eat, play with the experience of what it feels like to be 80 percent full. Another way to eat a sufficient, but not excessive, amount of food is to take your time and chew thoroughly. By slowing down and chewing thoroughly you get more of the nutrients than if you gobble your food, and

your stomach has a chance to tell your brain that it’s had enough. Changing your diet to a healthier one can also help you grow younger. More scientific support for just how significant dietary changes can be in helping us grow younger comes from Cynthia Kenyon, Ph.D., geneticist and director of the Hillblom Center for the Biology of Aging at the University of CaliforniaSan Francisco. Her lab research has shown that reducing carbohydrates influences two key genes in the body that govern longevity and youthfulness. Limited carbohydrate consumption proved in the lab to turn down the gene that controls insulin production, and when that gene was “off,” another gene was switched on — one that acts like an elixir of life. She said this second gene, DAF 16 (which she dubbed Sweet Sixteen), brings many antiaging benefits, such as boosting compounds that make the skin and muscle-building proteins work properly, and stimulating the immune system. Reducing carbohydrates and increasing antioxidants also lessen the impact of free radicals. Those are the rascals that lead to inflammation, which is a key component in most common diseases associated with aging today.

Horses as healers at Equine Spirit Sanctuary by ruTh bourgeois

In today’s modern world, often some of the most innovative and successful healing modalities are based on age-old concepts. Whether a person desires healing for physical, mental, emotional or spiritual issues, horses offer an almost magical quality not found in conventional therapy. Equine-assisted therapy is gaining more and more recognition and validation as scientific tests prove the validity and the merits of what many of us have known for years — simply, it harnesses the connection between people and horses, and everyone benefits. Numerous methods and models have been developed for equine-assisted therapy. At ESS, we have spent years creating and building two distinctly wonderful programs designed to bring horses and people together in a healing, safe environment. We recognize horses as being sentient, beautiful creatures that have much to teach us. Our programs focus on the value of the experiential learning, experiencing that involves the physical, emotional and intellectual body. Focusing on the energy field of horses and persons, learning to be present in the moment, and an enhanced awareness of self and life are just a few of the things that create a setting in which healing can take place. Ther apeuTic horseback riding, horses helping kids

Therapeutic horseback riding has long been recognized as a valuable way to improve balance, joint mobility, coordination, muscle tone and posture. It is beneficial to children and adults with disabilities such as cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, muscular dystrophy, brain injuries, and other physical or mental impairments. A walking horse’s movements are three-dimensional: up and down, side to side, and back and forth. These movements are synchronized 2 2

in a precise and repetitive pattern, much the same as the human gait. The rider responds to the movement with improved body symmetry, improved muscle tone, increased head and neck control, and improved balance. Riding horseback provides the rider with strong sensory input in the areas of the brain that register touch and motion stimulation, making it an excellent therapy. It is also good for the cardiovascular system and provides the rider with aerobic exercise. The Horses Helping Kids and therapeutic riding programs are seasonal, from May/June through October. Applications for this year’s program are now being accepted. Volunteers are needed for this program. Volunteer training will be held every Wednesday afternoon from 1 to 3 p.m.

in May. equine spiriT connecTions

ESS’s other program, Equine Spirit Connections, introduces horse activities to persons of all ages, all abilities and backgrounds to experience the healing qualities of horses. Clients first do basic groundwork, including grooming and leading exercises. They learn about the nature of the horse and how to be safe around horses. Then mounted work is added, if appropriate for the client, to build upon this foundation. Potential benefits that carry over into the client’s day-to-day lives include learning to focus, think and communicate more clearly, gain self-control and selfconfidence and enhanced self-esteem. Whatever the interest the client may have, the program is sure to be of great benefit. The Equine Spirit Connections program is offered year-round, weather permitting, as it does not always include riding.

About EquinE Spirit SAnctuAry

Incorporated as a 501c3 non-profit in 2005, ESS is a licensed horse rescue in addition to an equine center that offers programs for people. Almost all of the herd of 20-plus equines were either rescues or unwanted horses who found a home at ESS. Many horses do not have the appropriate temperament to work with disabled persons or to be lesson horses. The ESS program horses have been handled consistently and given extensive training before they are deemed safe to be used in the programs. This sometimes requires a great deal of time, patience and expertise. The horses are not considered tools for therapy. They are considered valuable partners and members of our team. Safety for both horses and humans is the most important aspect of the ESS programs. ESS is located at 13 Los Caballos Road, Ranchos de Taos (formerly Thal Equine Veterinary Clinic). The facility includes a classroom and offices for indoor work, a hospital barn, turnouts for the horses and an outdoor arena. to lEArn morE About thESE progr AmS And thE work of ESS, EmAil ruth, ruth@EquinESpiritSAnctuAry.org or cAll (575) 758-1212.

All things integrative: Local group to host health symposium BY SCOTT GERDES

Patients are more than the sum of their illnesses and injuries. While Western medicine is often very effective in treating a disease and helping heal broken bones or torn ligaments, it does not treat the whole person. In the Enchanted Circle, that’s where Integrative Medicine de Taos (IMdT) comes in. Conference Project Director Alana Grier and Dr. Loretta Ortiz y Pino of 365 Days of Wellness envision bringing annual integrative medical conferences to Taos as discussed in Rob Hawley’s article in this publication, “Integrative health care: What if?”

To assist in raising funds for future conferences, IMdT will hold its first Taos Health Symposium from July 10-14 at the Sagebrush Inn & Suites. Offered are three sponsorship levels ranging from $200-$1,000. Individuals wanting to attend specific events will be charged nominal fees. Details can be found on the website, imdt.life. The conference is primarily focused on doctors. The community-focused “Taos Talks,” slated for July 10, from 4-6:30 p.m., is a presentation by Taos experts on integrative medicine. Admission is $20. Also on July 10, from 7-8:30 p.m., Jason Pfeifer and his Taos Improv Group use laughter as medicine during the Improv Medicine Show. Admission is $10. The documentary “Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare” with a panel discussion afterward is scheduled for July 12, from 7:159:30 p.m. Admission is $20. A community cannabis panel will take place July 14, from noon to 2 p.m. Admission is $12. The schedule for the Community Health Fair on July 11-14 at the Sagebrush Inn is Monday through Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., and on Thursday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. It is a free event. A GROWING TREND

There are at least 60 programs within U.S. universities that now offer integrative medicine. “It is really growing, as are big national organizations,” says Dr. Ortiz y Pino. “We want to tap into that.” The University of New Mexico will be at the Taos Health Symposium to present SIMPLY Botanicals during its concurrent SIMPLE Conference on July 11-14. SIMPLE (Symposium of Integrative Medicine Professionals in the Land of Enchantment.) The event features renowned speakers and authors in the field of integrative medicine. Geared more for doctors, SIMPLE is sponsored by the UNM School of Medicine, Continuing Education and Professional Department and IMdT.

Grier and Dr. Ortiz y Pino see Taos as the perfect place to bring an annual integrative medicine conference. They believe when outside practitioners come to Taos, they will see what a tremendous resource of local integrative medical practitioners are already here. Working with UNM and their SIMPLE “Conference, IMdT’s goal is not only to support the many similar, established conferences in the country, but to put Taos on the integrative medicine map. “They are always looking for different places to hold their conferences and we want them to consider Taos as a new destination,” Grier says. Organizers are expecting a minimum of 250 and up to 300 doctors plus their families. “We are hoping to eventually bring two to three conferences a year and we’re trying to create a network of various practitioners in the area,” Grier adds. IMdT also hopes to expand the network of local complimentary and alternative practitioners and strengthen their connection with medical professionals. COMMUNIT Y BENEFITS

Not only does IMdT see this and future health conferences as economic boosts and public forums, it’s a chance for Northern New Mexicans to be educated about new, cutting-edge treatments and creating convenient access to those treatments. Another goal of the group is to influence health insurance companies to start covering more of these services. “Initially, the conferences are to raise awareness,” Dr. Ortiz y Pino says. “Longer term, we envision an integrated medicine clinic (an all service-in-one-building idea). We see Taos as a hub for this.

Shaman—18 year experience with advanced healing techniques Ceremonies Performed in a Contemporary Hogan

Unlike energy work, shamanic healing mends the soul. Common causes to a wounded soul are:

• Trauma from injury, shock, violation, betrayal, abandonment, grief… • Stress from relationships, job, PTSD… • Recovery from addiction, surgery, trauma, divorce… The reactions to these experiences are stored in us and over time, erode and sometimes fracture the layers of our soul. This damage interrupts the fundamental ability to function with joy and ease causing emotional and sometimes physical pain. Shamanic healing literally removes the debris of erosion, repairs the fractures, and mends the soul. In turn, joy is restored and the physical pain related to the emotional pain alleviated.

Moving forward, we plan to adhere to the following three-part plan: We will update and reprioritize the list of medical equipment purchases and building maintenance and repair needs. The list will take into consideration new items that will be identified during the budgeting process for our upcoming fiscal year. We will have about $300,000 to $500,000 in a contingency fund just in case something breaks that we had not planned to replace. Over the first 1 1/2 years, we plan to spend $2 million to $2.5 million â&#x20AC;&#x201D; making a huge dent in the backlog of needed projects. The rest of the money will be spread over the remaining 2 1/2 years. Of course, this spending schedule depends on the ability of Taos County to issue bonds guaranteed by the mill levy revenue. While we work to make sure our list is prioritized properly, we will also work with Taos County to determine exactly how the money will be transferred to the hospital, as well as the process by which equipment purchases and needed repairs are prepared and presented to the county commissioners. As we understand the process, all purchases/expenditures that we want to make will be debated in open session with the county commissioners. Once approved, all projects will be listed and tracked on the Taos Health Systems website, taoshospital.org. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a brand new era at Holy Cross Hospital/ Taos Health Systems and we have a new a commitment to excellence. We are committed to making Holy Cross Hospital your hospital of choice. We believe our commitment to excellence is an opportunity to create an aligned culture that is accountable to achieving outcomes together so that everyone from our employees, board of directors, physicians and medical staff, managers/directors and administrators are all on the same page working together with the same goals and values. It all comes back to making health care better. Working together, we can create great places for employees to work, physicians to practice medicine and patients to receive care.

Taos Health Systems is the central hub for health care in north central New Mexico. It is home to more than 80 physicians, covering a variety of ever-expanding specialties that include internal medicine, cardiology, family practice, wound care, obstetrics and gynecology, orthopedic, vascular and general surgery, urology, cosmetic, medical and pediatric dermatology, and a fully staffed emergency department. The hospital also offers imaging, laboratory and infusion services, as well as integrative health care. Incorporated in January 1980 as a 501(c) (3) private, nonprofit charitable organization, Taos Health Systems became the parent company of Holy Cross Hospital. It has since grown to include Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Health Institute and the Birth Center, Taos Surgical Specialties, Center for Physical Health, and High Road Dermatology; as well as primary and integrative care. Holy Cross Hospital was established in 1936. Today, the hospital is a not-for-profit 29-bed, acute-care, full-service facility that is DNV accredited and ISO 9001:2008 certified. Our commitment to excellence is a promise that you will always receive great care in Taos. For more information about the array of services we provide, our commitment to excellence, and/or mill levy updates visit our website, taoshospital.org..

COMPLEMENTARY HEALTH CARE

Complementary health care — including holistic alternatives, Oriental medicine, and massage and massage therapy, energy healing — is often best used in conjunction with Western medicine. Different fields of complimentary medicine have different certification processes and due diligence on the part of the patient is sometimes required in order to find out whether certain options are indeed the best for one’s own health. Talk to your physician and verify a health care provider’s credentials to the best of your ability.

Integrated

health care...What if?

BY ROB HAWLEY

What if we could bring together a variety of healing disciplines into one process that addressed your health care needs on all levels? What would this look like and how might this be accomplished? Today, the understanding of just what “medicine” is and how it might be provided is changing. We are juggling terms like “alternative medicine,” “complimentary medicine,” “integrative medicine” and “holistic medicine” in an effort to describe the phenomenon of the influence of herbal medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Ayurveda, yoga, meditation, massage, chiropractic, prayer and other systems and knowledge on our current medical system in the United States. Much of this juggling of terms is due to the growing use of 4 6

2 0 16 -2 0 17 M e d i c a l + W e l l n e s s D i r ec to ry

non-mainstream medical practices and how they impact the current medical care system and its providers. Medical doctors are seeing a growing use of these “alternatives,” although they have generally not been educated about them and are unsure of how they might affect the therapies they are administering to their patients. Understandably, being people of science the first concern is that these unregulated and scientifically undocumented practices could be harming their patients. However, there is growing awareness that not only will patients use them regardless of their doctor’s opinion, but that many of these practices have real value in health care.

One of the results of this dilemma is that medical science has made efforts to document the presence of these other systems with the intention of determining the usefulness of integrating them into health care. We see this in the creation of the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) National Center for Complimentary and Integrative Health (nccih.nih.gov/), the growing number of medical schools offering specialties in integrative medicine, and organizations that certify medical doctors such as the American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine. How might the future of our medical services be shaped by these trends? As the awareness of the value of non-mainstream medical knowledge increases, growing numbers of conferences and symposia on integrative medicine are taking place, and now even here in Taos. IMdT (Integrative Medicine de Taos) is a newly formed nonprofit organization that has invited the University of New Mexico to hold its biannual SIMPLE symposium (Symposium of Integrative Medical Professionals in the Land of Enchantment) to Taos on July 11-14. While the SIMPLE symposium is directed at doctors gaining CME’s (Continuing Medical Education credits), the IMdT board is expanding the activities of the symposia to include the community of Taos by holding a Health Symposium available to the general public. The Taos Health Sympo-

sium will feature “Taos Talks” by experts on alternative medical topics, Taos Community Health Fair featuring display space for local practitioners and products, The Improv Medicine Show — a health-care comedy, a community cannabis panel and presentation of Escape Fire, a documentary film on how we can rescue our broken health care system. Imagine, someday in the not too distant future, a visit to your doctor includes not only all the usual high-tech tests, but recommendations from a panel of diverse health care practitioners including an herbalist, chiropractor, acupuncturist, nutritionist and naturopathic doctor with a treatment plan that could include diet and lifestyle changes, herbal therapies, stretching, massage, meditation as well as appropriate drug therapies. The board of IMdT has a vision that bringing integrative medical conferences to Taos will fuel our local economy, attract medical care professionals and educate both professionals and the public about the value of integrated health care. Integrative Medicine de Taos is pioneering changes for the future of medicine.

UP IN SMOKE

To vape or not to vape BY SCOTT GERDES

Flavors like banana, birthday cake, peach schnapps, almond and coffee have become the designer darlings of the vaping world. But putting fancy tastes aside, are electronic cigarettes (often referred to as e-cigs or vaping) really a safer alternative to smoking tobacco and a promising way to help you quit? No adult needs to be hammered on the head with the statement, “Smoking is bad for you.” We all know that. But an addiction has a way of justifying bad behavior, and nicotine is an addiction. The no ash, no tar, faint smell, no smoke e-cigs now flooding the market are touted as a less harmful way to satisfy a nicotine craving, but is it true? E-cigs use a battery-powered heating element designed to vaporize a liquid solution containing nicotine, which provides a smoker’s high without the tar and cancerous chemicals found in tobacco. Supporters argue

2 0 16 -2 0 17 M e d i c a l + W e l l n e s s D i r ec to ry

e-cigs can help smokers give up tobacco, the second-hand smoke is nonthreatening and it is rare for people who don’t already smoke to start. Mat and Shalmai Hollingshead opened Taos’ first e-cig establishment, BeeLiquid Vaper’s Lounge at 108C Civic Plaza Drive, in 2012. Other such shops that have opened in Taos since include Vape Bros. Lounge, Atomized Vapors, Vape Taos and 420 Gear. BeeLiquid focuses on making their own “juice.” Their “handcrafted e-liquid” is made from vegetable glycerin (a clear, odorless liquid produced from plant oils, typically palm oil, soy or coconut oil), propylene glycol (a clear organic compound found in hair products and cosmetics — to name a few applications — that holds and dissolves active ingredients equally in the medium, acts as an emulsifier and excipient, and reduces freezing point), extracted nicotine and food flavoring. Taoseña Emily Wilde put down the tobacco cigarettes and reached for a personalized vaporizer two years ago. And while it hasn’t helped her kick the nicotine habit, she says, “I noticed easier breathing within two months, and I stopped coughing.” Mat Hollingshead is confident research will show that e-cigs are a safe alternative. “It’s infinitely better for you,” he told The Taos News in 2013. “It doesn’t have the carcinogens that cigarettes do; it doesn’t have the tar and the ash and the lingering smoke and smell ... We have so many people coming in saying, ‘Oh my gosh, I can run again. I can ride a bike, I can breathe.’”

‘An over-indulgence of Anything, even something As pure As wAter, cAn intoxicAte.’ — criss JAmi, “venus in Arms”

While no one is saying e-cigs are a cure for damage caused by cigarettes, the vapor certainly isn’t exacerbating an illness. Despite that, no observational data examining the long-term health effects of e-cigarettes exist. On the other side of the fence, however, are scientists and doctors who argue the devices should be steered clear of because their risks are unknown, and they encourage non-smokers to become addicted to nicotine. And some opponents claim that the fruity and candy flavors are being catered to children, although no one under 18 can legally buy it. Shalmai Hollingshead wholeheartedly disagrees with the notion that the candy- and fruit-flavored juices are made with kids in mind. “Most adults really like the candy and fruit flavors; they are very popular,” she says. “We make e-liquid for the adults, not kids.” Shalmai says their customers were already cigarette smokers. Although critics portend e-cigs as a “gateway” to tobacco use among young people. In teens, nicotine consumption has been shown to hamper brain development. All that being said, the jury’s still out on whether e-cigs can help a wannabe nonsmoker kick the nicotine habit. Some research suggests they may be as effective as the patch, though a recent study in 2014 by JAMA Internal Medicine found that e-cig use didn’t motivate people to change their smoking habits 5 2

— one year later, they weren’t more likely to quit or even smoke less. Another smoking cessation study reported in Nov. 2013 by “The Medical Letter” (an independent, non-biased publication that reviews pharmaceuticals for physicians provided by Dr. Lucas Schreiber of Taos) found that the percentage of patients who quit smoking tobacco cigarettes at six months was slightly higher with the e-cig (7.3 percent) than with the nicotine patch (5.8 percent) or placebo device (4.1 percent). The results, the article cited, “were not statistically significant.” “The most common adverse effects reported during clinical trials of e-cigarettes were mouth and throat irritation and dry cough,” the latter report disclosed. “In non-smokers, repeated exposure to nicotine in ecigarettes could result in addiction and might increase the risk of ischemic (an insufficient supply of blood to an organ) vascular events.” Also, the FDA doesn’t regulate the products yet (although the regulatory agency is expected to do so), meaning unless disclosed by the maker, you don’t really know what ingredients are in the “juice.” Until longer-term studies prove they are safe and can help you quit, smokefree.gov suggests using established methods instead, such as a combination of counseling and smoking cessation medication. »

PERIMENOPAUSE A midlife metamorphosis

BY DR. CAROLINE COLONNA

2 0 16 -2 0 17 M e d i c a l + W e l l n e s s D i r ec to ry

WHAT IS PERIMENOPAUSE?

Perimenopause, also called “climacteric,” refers to the years leading up to a woman’s last menstrual period or menopause. The word menopause is derived from the Greek meno (month, menses) and pausis (pause.) Perimenopause is not a point in time, but a process that may vary in length and symptoms from woman to woman. It usually occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, and lasts on average between six to 13 years. During this process, a woman may experience undesirable symptoms that may include hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, osteoporosis, weight gain, mood swings, fuzzy thinking, depression and insomnia. STIGMA AND ATTITUDE

Perimenopause encompasses the gradual change in ovarian function signaling the end of a woman’s reproductive years, while emotionally allowing her to explore new aspects of herself, a sort of “midlife metamorphosis.” At such time, a woman may need to re-evaluate her life path and allow herself to play out her innermost desires. Such process, however, is often thwarted by patriarchal prejudices that often lead women to feeling inadequate or even worthless. Because menopause usually signifies a woman’s failure to reproduce, in our society a woman needs to work hard to reconcile letting go of her reproductive years and accepting her sexual and creative powers. Perimenopause is the perfect time to let go of the patriarchal belief that associates sexuality with sexual reproduction. Sexual desire and functioning in humans is not necessarily related to the reproduc-

tive cycle. In fact, women possess the only human organ whose sole function is to generate sexual pleasure. Menopause, while the end of a chapter in a woman’s life, should not be construed as the end of a woman’s sexual life. THE AGING FACTOR AND POWER OF BELIEF

Women’s transition into menopause was not as traumatic in ancestral cultures mainly because aging was not considered to be a failure. A study conducted among Tarahumara Indian runners in Mexico is quite insightful in this regard. This tribe believes their best runners to be men in their 60s. Researchers confirmed the “older” runners were indeed faster and possessed more endurance than the younger ones through measuring the runners’ lung capacities, cardiovascular fitness and endurance. This belief is totally foreign to our current ageist society’s belief that athletes are old when they reach 40 years of age. This study also points out that all the tribe members held that belief. The power of sharing a strong belief is reflected in the positive outcome of mindful practices such as prayers, positive thinking, visualization and meditation. CREATING HEALTH DURING PERIMENOPAUSE

The bottom line is there is a way to create health during perimenopause and a lot of it has to do with one’s attitude. I am not a big proponent of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) because I believe in the power of the majority of healthy women to self-regulate. Women need to start reprogramming themselves to believe they are just as beautiful, vibrant and worthy at age 60 and above as they were in their 20s, 30s or 40s.

‘I’m what Is known as perImenopausal. perI, some of you may know, Is a latIn prefIx meanIng ‘shut your flIppIn’ pIe hole.’’ — CrIss JamI, “Venus In arms” indicates that if a woman believes she can change the way she looks and feels about herself, she will be able to at any age. Perimenopause is a great time to start. Chinese mediCine and perimenopause

Fortunately Chinese medicine and nutritional supplementation can help. In Chinese medicine, how a woman experiences perimenopause is a reflection of how strong her kidney energy or “Qi” is (also known as adrenal function in Western medicine) combined with how strong her nutritive (“Ying”) Qi is. A strong Ying Qi is a result of a balanced diet, good sleep, daily exercise and positive outlook on life. There are many herbal and nutritional remedies available to restore kidney Qi and adrenal function. When kidney energy is out of balance, one can also experience fear, anxiety, renal and sexual dysfunction as well as sleeplessness and depression. In addition to herbal and nutritional supplementation, a good mindfulness practice — that may include yoga, qi gong, running or a

combination of them — can further restore balance by helping manage stress levels. Such practices not only work on restoring kidney energy but, also kidney “Jing” or inherited Qi, the life force passed on through genes. In fact, recent studies prove that our genetic predisposition can be modulated by our lifestyle. in ConClusion

Perimenopause and menopause are natural processes that may become problematic when not understood or tackled properly. Natural medicine has a lot to offer to help women cope with this process. I encourage women to familiarize themselves with all the natural options available to them not only to treat symptoms of perimenopause but, to enhance the quality of their lives and their communities at large.

SURVIVE & THRIVE IN YOUR FIRST YOGA CLASS

BY MONIQUE PARKER

Yoga not only helps you feel better physically, it also contributes to overall well-being, such as stress reduction, increased selfacceptance and overcoming fear â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including the fear of trying something new. Following are some tips to help you not only survive, but thrive in your first yoga class.

Feeling like a newbie around experienced pr actitioners

I took my first yoga class in the early ‘90s when I was living in the Caribbean. Upon entering the studio, any nervousness I felt was exacerbated when I discovered the teacher deep in meditation and one of the students standing on her head. The class hadn’t even started, yet they already appeared to have been practicing for hours. During the class, the teacher directed us into exotic- and foreignsounding postures that were unfamiliar to me. I sheepishly copied the other students, who looked serene balancing and twisting with perfect poise. I felt self-conscious, as if everyone was watching and secretly judging me. As a result, I pushed myself too hard and found myself competing with the other students. After over two decades of practice (and teaching), here’s some things I’ve learned about being a novice: • Give yourself permission to be a beginner. Even your teacher took her first class once. • Most students aren’t looking at you, but are preoccupied with their own poses: breathing, muscle engagement and alignment. As your proficiency increases, the more inwardly focused you will become. • Don’t compete with others. Yoga is an individualized practice; everyone is at different levels of fitness with varying physical issues. • Overexertion is the antithesis of yoga. When you push yourself into poses, the body reacts by creating tension.

Studio etiquette: How not to be a jerk on tHe mat

Just as there are rules on the slopes, such as skiers in front of you always have the right of way, there is “Yoga Etiquette.” As a new yogi, in the throes of developing self-awareness, you may inadvertently be insensitive to your fellow practitioners. Here are some guidelines that will help you from disturbing the peace: • Remove shoes before entering class — yoga is practiced barefoot. • Chitchat outside the studio. • Avoid snapping your mat as you roll it out and/or unnecessarily cramping your neighbors. • Arrive on time — Late arrivals are a disturbance. • Refrain from wearing strong scents: perfume, hairspray. • Turn off your cell phone. Yoga classes are device-free zones.

• Wear appropriate clothing. • Don’t walk on other peoples’ mats — they may be made out of thermoplastic elastomer, but to others they are sacred spaces. Pr acticing Self-accePtance like a SeaSoned yogi

When you engage in a new activity there is a learning curve — that period of time where you acquire new skills, comprehend new lingo, and experience your body in a new way. It takes time and can be frustrating. Your yoga instructor may offer modifications or adjustments. This isn’t a critique. It’s a way of teaching you the proper and safe way of executing a pose for you at this time. If constructive criticism hits a nerve or you become defensive, accept that you cannot learn anything new without first making mistakes. Seasoned yogis make practice look easy, not because it is, but because self-acceptance is a steep mountain slope.
