POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Almost 60, 40+ years of yoga, over 30+ years teaching, 30+ yrs with a master’s in nutrition, and two hip replacements. Here’s some of what I actually do every day for longevity and why. 👇
WATER, THEN SUNLIGHT. After a night without fluids, I rehydrate first. Morning light helps set your circadian rhythm, which influences sleep and stress hormones.
MOBILITY, THEN A LITTLE JUMPING. Daily movement keeps joints moving well, and impact like jumping is one of the signals bones respond to by maintaining density. It might look silly but it works :)
REAL FOOD, IN A WINDOW THAT WORKS FOR ME. Diets high in processed food are linked to worse health outcomes, and single-ingredient foods are an easy way to steer clear. The research on specific eating windows is mixed, so choose one you can keep. Focus on lean proteins healthy carbs/veges and good fats
MOVE AFTER MEALS. A short walk, calf raises, or air squats can help blunt the blood sugar rise after eating. Your calf muscles, especially the soleus, use glucose when they’re working.
STRENGTH TRAIN 3X A WEEK. It supports muscle, bone density, metabolism, and blood sugar control. Make sure to add weights!
YOGA, STRETCHING, OR MEDITATION DAILY. Research supports huge benefits for stress and anxiety.
Bonus: I take supplements and peps that support my immune system and longevity
(*Check with your doctor or physical therapist before adding jumping or new mobility work, especially after a joint replacement.)
At Inner Power Yoga in Calabasas we teach real yoga for real bodies, at any age, plus simple lifestyle guidance to help you age gracefully and feel your best.

You don’t have to be the most flexible person in the room to become a yoga teacher.

We’ve been saying this for 16 years, and we mean it more than ever: our 200-hour yoga teacher training isn’t about who’s already “ready.” It’s about who’s willing to start.

Hundreds of our graduates walked into this in-person yoga teacher training questioning if they belonged here. Every single one of them found their answer by week 14.

So if you’ve been quietly debating this yoga teacher training with yourself — stop. Let’s have an honest conversation instead.

We start in 3 weeks. We have 2 spots left. Our next ERYT-certified training won’t be until next year.

We don’t want you to miss this.

DM us “TRAINING” or hit the link in bio — we’ll get back to you personally.

Today would have been my brother Steven’s 61st birthday. We were very close in age but closer in so many other ways. I considered him my best friend.
My sisters and I growing up had the privilege of sharing 26 years of memories with him, and not a day goes by that we don’t think about the life he would have had today: a life we could have seen blossom with success,love, and happiness that he probably would be boasting about right now.
His memory is more than just his lost presence. His memory is a reminder of how people impact our lives when they are living and continue to impact and shape every day after they are gone.
He was the inspiration for me following my strong path in yoga. He is the reason why I continue to find meaning in my work, and hope to inspire or remind someone to live with purpose, stay present and aware, and not take that which is precious in your life for granted.
There are no guarantees in life except the inevitable-so cherish, love ,forgive, support, honor and appreciate every blessing.
Happy birthday Steve…still feel your presence in my heart. ❤️ by @lindasuffin

Real talk: most people who want to do a yoga teacher training never sign up. Not because they don’t want to. Because somewhere along the way they decided they weren’t “enough” yet — not flexible enough, not experienced enough, not ready enough.

We’ve been doing this 16 years. Here’s what we’ve learned instead →

(swipe through)

And if you’re not even sure you want to teach — this still applies to you. Because whether or not you ever lead a class, this training changes how you show up for the people who already look to you.

200 hours. 14 weeks. Starting September 23. A few spots left.

Link in bio if this is speaking to you. 🤍

For 16 years, we’ve watched people walk into this training, unsure if they’re “ready“ – and walk out 14 weeks later as teachers who lead from real
experience, not perfection.

If this feels like you – we have only a few spots left.

We spend so much time walking down familiar roads, but real transformation happens when we choose a new path. 🌿
True yoga is more than physical movement—it’s how you meet the world around you. It’s finding gratitude in the trees, space in the open air, and strength in stepping into new spaces.
Bring your practice with you wherever you go today.
