Yoga for Life: Embracing Stillness After 60

Retirement brought freedom, but also big questions: “What will I do?” “How will I stay engaged?” After 44 years of structured days, I realized I had fallen into “Routine Comfortable”—safe, predictable, but creatively draining.

Yoga became my path to slow down, reconnect with myself, and embrace stillness. It’s not just about poses; it’s about surrendering to the present, cultivating compassion, releasing expectations, and fostering mindfulness. Through yoga, I’ve learned to listen to my body, breathe deeply, and approach life with gentleness and presence.

A year into retirement, yoga remains an essential part of my journey—renewing my body, mind, and spirit.
