Dharma-rooted Yoga: Yoga Classes in Hawaii (See Visit Us)

(October 6, 2024)

Aloha, my yoga mates.

How are you?

Since October started, we have been hearing from Japan that the weather has become much more comfortable. In Hawaii, the morning and evening air also feels cool and pleasant.

Sixty years ago, October 10 was designated as “Sports Day” in Japan to commemorate the first Tokyo Olympics (today’s “Sports Day” is October 14 this year), and school athletic events were concentrated around this time.

Since then, people have been encouraged to walk 10,000 steps a day as the secret to maintaining physical wellness, and “pedometers” have quickly become popular among walkers throughout Japan. However, walking 10,000 steps a day is not easy. How many pedometers have been stored away in the backs of wardrobes and desk drawers, never to be used again?

For those of us who are pressed by time constraints every day, 10,000 steps a day is a high hurdle. Recently, however, I was a little relieved to hear Dr. Emily Splichal, a world-renowned foot doctor, lecture at a workshop that 5,000 steps a day is enough if you walk the right way. (In Japan, many books claim that walking 10,000 steps daily will reduce the mortality rate...)

In any case, Tom Myers, author of “Anatomy Train,” recommends walking as the most effective exercise for hydrating and remodeling the fascia, as it is a full-body workout.

However, the way you walk is fundamental. To empower our body to imprint how to walk correctly into our subconscious mind, we will practice yoga asanas, again paying attention to the joint groups and surrounding fascia.
