Knee Workshop with Jeff Bailey

Knee Workshop with Jeff Bailey

It’s strange to say, but some joints are more valuable than others. Injure a knee, and your ability to walk and “get around” is impeded.

Knee Workshop with Jeff Bailey June 9 12:00-12:45

They are near and dear to us, yet they are among the most vulnerable joints in the body. They are more exposed than hips and don’t have as much reinforcement around them. For these reasons and more, we all want to “protect our knees” and do whatever it takes to keep them working.

Modern medicine has many ways of repairing and even replacing knees with a high degree of success. But you may not know is that there are ways, through Avita Yoga, that we can regain and maintain lost knee health. Although it is a natural reaction to knee problems, we do not have to be quick to jump to invasive measures.

Come to this workshop to learn ways to care for your valuable knees. A short 10-minute anatomy presentation will precede a brief review of the healing physiology that makes Avita Yoga work.

Whether it’s arthritis, abnormal wear, or typical degenerative knee conditions, you will be glad you attended this workshop. I’ll field personal questions and introduce you to various shapes that will set your knees on a path to recovery and wellbeing.

See you there,

Jeff

Wednesday, June 9 from 12:00 -12:45 PM mountain time

Yoga Pants

Yoga Pants, If you forgot your "yoga clothes" and all you have on is your jeans and a button-down shirt, don't let it deter you! Make them yoga jeans and come to class, especially if it's Yin or Avita Yoga.

I’m asked about clothing for yoga often enough; I decided to write about it. There’s a difference between being truly comfortable and wearing something you are “supposed to.” Some of you, however, are most comfortable wearing what you are “supposed to” and I’m not sure how to address that 🙂 

Yoga Pants, Jeff Bailey shares whatever pants you wear will be your yoga pants


Yoga pants? Yoga leggings? Yoga Shorts?

If you forgot your “yoga clothes” and all you have on is your jeans and a button-down shirt, don’t let it deter you! Make them yoga jeans and come to class, especially if it’s Yin or Avita Yoga. At Yoga Loft you will be accepted as you are. Dress how you like and show up as you are. If yoga is about discovering authentic Self, then the care and concern for outer appearances will only delay your real inner progress. 


We have classes that you can do in the comfort of your own home, whatever pants you wear will be your yoga pants. In Avita Yoga, we emphasize the road less travelled by–the inner one.  External requirements, especially those that are self-imposed, will only delay the inner journey. 


Dress how you please and show up as you are!

Perhaps this has been one of the benefits of Covid isolation. We’ve become comfortable with ourselves. Before Covid, were you aware of how “accountable” the outer world made you? If there is anything we can take away from the isolation, it’s the peace that comes with not having to live up to someone else’s standards. Dress for happiness; for happiness is success!

The Awareness Conference 2021

The Awareness conference with Jeff Bailey as one of the speakers presenting and guiding a yoga practice

Join Jeff Bailey as he presents and shares Avita Yoga at The Awareness Conference 2021 Open the Heart, Know the Truth. The conference is online with free access for all on April 16, 17, 18, 2021.

Can you think of a better title for a conference? Can you think of a better topic and goal? I hope you’ll attend and partake in this spirited event, chock full with talented teachers.

What makes this phrase (open your heart, know the truth) so powerful?

Well, if we are called to open our hearts, then it must imply that they are closed. And that’s ok.

This gentle acknowledgment is our starting point. It’s like Buddha’s First Noble Truth that states the obvious: suffering is part of the dream we call life. We start by befriending the very thing we unwittingly fight. Why is life difficult? Why do I feel stuck and afraid? Oh, my heart must be closed. If life in this world is scary, unsafe, and challenging, then of course, my heart will be closed. It’s a normal response to put up boundaries, and protect, but it’s not natural.

The most natural thing we can do is to gently open our hearts and seek the truth. It takes a little willingness and faith and that is what this conference gathering is all about.

Give it a try. I hope you’ll join us for three free days. We’ll do some Avita Yoga each morning to open the conference and our hearts—if even a little bit to let the light and love come through. It’s what we want more than anything, and yet funny how we fear it. This conference is a golden opportunity to trust the quiet, loving voice inside and let it grow. There’s nothing to lose but fear itself. Click the button below. It’s free!

With love and light,
Jeff Bailey

WORKSHOP: The Healing Physiology of Avita Yoga

Workshop with Jeff Bailey Founder of Avita Yoga - The Healing Physiology of Avita Yoga

We like to think that by now you have experienced the healing benefits of Avita Yoga and appreciate the meditative aspect of the practice. If so, you’ve probably heard me reference the healing physiology that makes it work.

It’s the healing physiology that gives every subtle detail importance, and for many, understanding the physiology behind Avita Yoga can bring new meaning and inspiration to their practice.

Please join me for our next workshop Friday, April 30th at noon MST.

The topic will be The Healing Physiology of Avita Yoga.

The information will be distilled into into a palatable 30-minute presentation with time for Q&A. I promise to make it lively and easy to understand. This is important stuff. This simple, vastly overlooked physiology, along with the meditative pathway to the healed mind, is the creative light behind the whole practice.

I hope to see you there online on Friday.

Thank you and namaste,
Jeff Bailey

Keeping Your Feet Strong and Healthy Workshop

Keeping Your Feet Healthy

Friday, February 26  12:00 – 12:45 PM

Workshop with Jeff Bailey
THe foot workshop Friday February 26 at noon mountain time

Every building has a foundation. Whether it’s a high-rise or a house, the structure you live in has a foundation. Everything above the foundation rests upon it. Everything above must interact and relate to the parts below. Our feet are our foundation. We stand on them, we walk on them, we pedal bicycles with them, and we run on them, and that’s why I’m having the “Keeping Your Feet Strong and Healthy Workshop.”

(This is part of your membership to Avita Online.)

Now imagine a foundation that moves. Not only must it have the integrity to support the structure above, but now it must have the resiliency to withstand change. Large buildings in areas prone to earthquakes require adaptable foundations. Our feet are adaptable,  but unlike a building’s foundation, our feet must also adapt to the implications that come from above! That knee or hip problem can find its way into the feet. Bunions can originate because of weight distribution issues that come from above. All it takes is pressure, and bone production begins. We’ll talk more about this in the workshop. 

Like all foundations, feet are at the bottom, and what happens at the bottom? Stuff accumulates there. Studies have shown that resilient calf muscles help with venous blood return, but imagine the work it takes to get blood from the feet back up to the heart all day long. Remember, 90% of the body is water, making up the extracellular matrix, a fancy word for all the space around cells. 7.5 liters of water (interstitial fluid) is moved through the body daily, and it relies mostly on bodily movement to transfer it, cleanse it, and dumped back into the bloodstream near the heart! This is the lymphatic system’s function, which plays a vital role in maintaining our immunity to infection and disease. I mention all this because feet will be affected if there is insufficient movement to keep these systems functioning optimally, and this is where Avita shines. 

It’s no doubt that feet start to get a little funny looking over time.

“Stuff” builds up, but the things the body relies on to move it around and clean it up become compromised over time. We call this the aging process, and while it is inescapable, we can do it gracefully, one of the many purposes of Avita Yoga. Come to this workshop to learn about the ways we reverse the impact of time on the feet.

Learn how to regain and maintain healthy feet. Your whole body will love it!

This workshop will open with a short slide show and anatomy presentation to ground our discussion and provide a framework for specific issues and any questions you may have.

SIGNUP SO WE KNOW YOU’RE COMING!

See you there,

Jeff
