The picture above comes from an art site, advertising a class for how to make mobiles yourself.

The word mobile is used in so many ways: a mobile placed over a baby’s bed for visual interest, or our mobile phones, for example. Someone who climbs the social ladder is called “upwardly mobile.”

One definition of mobility, according to the Oxford Languages, is the ability to move or be moved freely and easily. Basically, most of us care about mobility as it affects our ability to do what we want in life. This can be general, like walking from one place to another, or specific, such as how well your shoulder gets through the normal range of motion (ROM).

Mobility of the body has become a big topic in the yoga and fitness world, especially when it comes to working with people over 50, but older people aren’t the only ones impacted by less mobility. Anyone who’s had an accident, injury, surgery, or just general stiffness is affected at some time in life.

Yoga motion, including breathwork, can help us explore and mindfully move all parts of the body. Pain-free movement is essential to keeping everything functioning so we can enjoy our lives.

I hope you can make some time to move, breathe, and stay mobile this week.

Be Well,

Eva
