The Mindfulness of Creativity One of the ways I relax and get into a meditative state of mind is being creative. This holiday weekend that included decorating the house for Christmas. This year I wanted to move our Christmas tree into our family room, which is where...

Monday October 6th is a Supermoon, one of three consecutive supermoons, when the moon reaches its closest point to earth, its perigee (you’re welcome for that Scrabble word! LOL). Full moons represent the peak of the lunar cycle, bringing illumination, and can...
If I’m asked who my favorite celebrity or hero is, I can’t think of Hollywood actors or any well-known mainstream figures (well, except for the Obamas.) But, I think of Dr. Jane Goodall. I had the pleasure of meeting Jane at UC Berkeley and interviewing...

30-Minute Yoga for Hikers & Backpackers | Stretch Tight Hips, Legs & Back
byAmelia Andaleon
Welcome to the Spiritually Fit Yoga podcast with Amelia Andaleon.
In this video episode, I'll guide you through a 30-minute yoga practice designed specifically for hikers and backpackers. Whether you've just finished a day hike, completed a backpacking trip, or simply want to relieve tight muscles, we'll focus on yoga poses that stretch the hips, hamstrings, calves, glutes, lower back, shoulders, and feet, areas that often become tight after spending time on the trail.
No yoga experience is required. Move at your own pace, listen to your body, and modify each pose as needed.
I hope this practice helps you recover well so you can get back on the trail feeling strong, mobile, and refreshed.
Discover Your Personal Power. Create Your Inner Peace.
