How and Where to Meditate, a Strategy for a Healthier Life

First, the posture. The widespread image of a yogi sitting cross-legged in samadhi might be out of reach for most of us and also not really necessary to imitate. If you can sit on a floor, that might be very useful as you don't need much and you can practice anywhere, anytime. But if you cant, don't despair. Most of us will need something to sit on, even if it is a yoga block, a big dictionary, a cushion, a folded blanket or a sweater. You can be as innovative as you want to. Some of us might have bought or made themselves cushions filled with buckwheat hulls, for instance. There are limitless possibilities to explore and play with, but I would suggest before you establish a regular sitting practice and discover what you really need, leave that for later. For now, utilise whatever you see around you.

My expertise is in using yoga and meditation to improve quality of life for older people - as a prevention or as a part of stroke recovery, mobility issues, chronic pain due to arthritis, osteoporosis, etc.

In light of the recent lockdown measures I have pivoted my business, not only to provide a regular daily online yoga schedule of support digitally but creating a gift certificate system for family members of elderly isolated people to purchase which will allow them to access guided activity sessions. It has been created for those who worry about parents or grandparents not getting enough exercise in isolation but can also help with fall prevention and breathing exercises.
