Meditation, Yoga, Brain Body Connection Tennis Tips

Rethinking Aging Club Podcast

Danielle Palli, Author and Coach, Birdland Media
“Yoga involves dual tasking, doing cognitive and physical activity together, such as synchronized mindful breathing with movement, which we know enhances balance and cognitive function and creativity and cognitive flexibility.”
“study linking physical activity with a 25% reduction in depression when people exercised for 2.5 hours per week.”
“Meditation is not a "one size fits all." In 1:1 coaching, I've found myself adjusting for clients with diagnosed ADHD/OCD and those working through trauma”
Julie Carmen Actor, Licensed Marriage Family Therapist, Certified Yoga Therapist, JulieCarmenActor.com
“I think people should be aware of the category of yoga teaching called certified yoga therapists because our students are trained in all the contraindications”
Rashmi Schramm, MD Board Certified Family Physician, Integrative Wellness Coach, Chopra Certified PSM Meditation Teacher
Dr Schramm is a great find because she is combining medicine and what we all know works well from meditation and mindfulness. Meditation and mindfulness could become more mainstream when doctors actually embrace these practices.
Ryan W. Winters, Professional tennis coach at The Club at Kukui’ula on Kauai who successfully uses brain body connection prompts.
“In a match, I shouldn't be considering how to stroke the ball. It's already too late. I've developed what I've developed. I'm here, I'm now, and I should be considering physical chess and strategy instead.
“In sports, we have something called the 16 second cure.”
Lauren Duffell, a sleep science coach and registered holistic nutritionist expanded on other speakers tips. She reminded us that meditation helps us with sleep quality. We loved Lauren's moving meditation suggestion.
