Njengoba ngivula umata wami we-yoga futhi ngiqoqela izinwele zami emgodini womgogodla, iqembu labesifazane abathathu abagqoke i-Spandex lisondelana futhi lihleba. Owesine, egqoke i-leggings ne-hoodie, uyajoyina. "Hhe, Lori!" itshiyoza elinye leqembu. "Usuqedile nje amehlo akho?"

U-Lori ushaya imivimbo yakhe futhi enqekuzisa ikhanda, futhi bonke abanye bayamamatheka ngokuvumayo, njengoba isiguli sakamuva sembula, "Ngijabule kakhulu ngokuthi ngihlinzwe ulwelwesi lwamakhanda kunokuba ngizixake nge-bifocals yami."

Amakhonsathi wangaphambi kokuzivocavoca ancike kakhulu kuma-colonoscopies kune UColin Firth lapho ufudumeza i-Gentle Yoga eLoyola Center for Fitness eMaywood, e-Ill. Umfundisi uMary Louise Stefanic, 80, uqoqe amabutho ama-groupies eminyakeni yakhe engama-42 yokufundisa, athutheleka ekilasini lakhe ukuzodambisa amakink intamo, okhalweni nomhlane ongezansi ngenkathi bethola ukuzola osukwini lwabo. UStefanic waqala wazama i-yoga ngo-1966, ephendula isikhangiso sendawo se-YMCA. (Ngaleso sikhathi, iseshini yamaviki ayisishiyagalombili yayibiza u- $ 16; qhathanisa lokho ne- $ 32 ngeseshini eyodwa yoMjikelezo Womphefumulo namuhla.) Ukuzivocavoca umzimba kuzwakale kungaziwa ngokuphelele, kepha kumsizile wakhipha amakhilogremu angama-20 futhi waphinde waba nomuzwa wokuthula nokuzola - izimfanelo ezintula kakhulu ekuphileni kwakhe njengomama onezingane eziyisithupha.

Namuhla, ikilasi lakhe lamasonto amabili - ihora le-yoga ethambile nokunwebeka kokwelapha - livame ukuheha abesifazane nabesilisa abangama-30+ ngesikhathi, ngokuvamile abaneminyaka engama-60 nangaphezulu. "Ngiyabazi abantu ekilasini lami," kuchaza uStefanic. "Ngiyazi ukwesaba kwabo, ukukhubazeka kwabo, ngisho neziqu zabo. Ikilasi lami limayelana nokuphumula nokwelula umzimba wakho, hhayi ngobuhlungu. Ngifuna ukubasiza balalele okudingwa yimizimba yabo futhi bafike lapho."

Ngavela ekilasini likaStefanic ngimagange ukubona i-octogenarian rock Crow Pose. Ngalowo mqondo, ngaphoxeka. Isigaba asikaze sifune lutho oluzama ngaphezu kwenja eyodwa eyehla; kwakukuningi ukulala ngomhlane nokwelula imilenze. Angikwazi ukuzibamba ngikhathazeke: "Ingabe yilokhu okufanele ngikubheke ngabomvu, ngihlakaniphe ngokuzivocavoca umzimba?"

Kepha ngasheshe ngabona isipho sokuya ekilasini nabesifazane abangama-30 ubudala ngokwanele ukuba ngugogo wami: Ngokungafani nezitudiyo eziningi ze-yoga, akukho ego lapha. Abantu bawela ngaphandle kweCat-Cow. Amajoyinti ama-pop nokububula kugijimela phansi. Kukhona ama-farts amaningi. Abantu bahamba ngejubane labo, kunokuba baziphoqelele ukuthi bangene endaweni ethile ngoba nje owesifazane oseduze nabo angakwenza (inkinga eyake yangifaka esihogweni sobuhlungu bentamo ngemva kokuzama ukubamba igeja - nakuba ubuhlungu - ngoba bonke abanye ekilasini babe nekhanda labo phakathi kwemilenze yabo, futhi.)

Ngaba nethuba lokuhlala phansi noStefanic ngemva kwekilasi. Nakhu okushiwo i-yogi yakudala:

Uyazindla?

"Nsuku zonke - noma ngabe umzuzwana nje wokuphefumula kanzima ukukhipha noma yini engenza ngikhathazeke. Kimi, ukuzindla ngithola lokho kusalokhu kukhomba umhlaba oguqukayo. Nginegumbi elibheke eMpumalanga, elikhombisa ukuphakama ilanga, umuzwa wokuqala. Ngizoqala nsuku zonke okungenani imizuzu emihlanu yokujija kamnene bese ngiphetha ukuzindla kwami ​​ngokuthi, 'Namuhla, inhloso yami ukuba nothando kakhulu, ukuthethelela kakhudlwana, nozwela ngokwengeziwe.' "

Kunjani ukudla kwakho?

“Ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yawo-70 enye yamadodana ethu kwatholakala ukuthi ine-hypoglycemia.

[Namuhla,] sibheka ufulawa omhlophe, irayisi, ushukela. Ngithenga izimbiza ze-half-gallon yoju oluluhlaza emthonjeni bese ngipheka ngebhotela namafutha omnqumo. Sithanda inyama nenkukhu eyondliwe ngotshani - zingasekho izinsuku lapho sasiyisishiyagalombili ekhaya futhi sahlukanisa inkomo nengulube epulazini eliseduze - bese sithenga izithelo nemifino ephilayo, sizigeze ngamanzi ngamaconsi ambalwa ShakleeH2.

Kuyamangaza lokho! Ingabe kukhona ubuthakathaka?

"Ubuthakathaka bami ngushokoledi ..." omuhle ", okusho ukuthi, ngaphandle kwePeanut Butter neMallo Cups. Nginewayini ngesidlo sasemini noma isidlo sakusihlwa kane noma kahlanu ngesonto ngokugunyazwa ngudokotela wenhliziyo yami futhi ngigwema iziphuzo ezine-carbonated. I-Popcorn ne-pizza , kodwa-ke, zidinga ubhiya. "

Noma yiziphi izimfihlo zokuhlala umncane ngaphakathi nangaphandle?

"Momotheka. Ukumamatheka kuphumuza imisipha engu-17 esihlathini ngasinye, kuphumuze intamo yakho futhi kunciphisa ukushuba komhlathi. Kunciphisa ukubonakala kwemibimbi.Ama-endorphin ezizwa ezizwa kahle eqala, futhi kwenza labo abaseduze kwakho bakhululeke.

Zizungeze nabantu. Nikeza ukwanga. Thola okuthile okukulethela ukuthula - ngicula ekhwayeni, kepha ungajoyina iqembu lokufunda noma uthathe isigaba sobuciko. Futhi uphumele ngaphandle. Phonsa uvule amakhethini akho futhi umeme imvelo ekhaya lakho. Vumela ilanga likufudumeze likulaphe. "

Ngingaphinde ngiphinde ngizitholele isigaba sokuzivocavoca lapho ngingumphefumulo okhulelwe yedwa ngenkathi wonke umuntu esedlule esikhathini sokuya esikhathini. Kodwa ngiyohlale ngiwakhumbula amazwi engiwazwile ehlebeza nge-yogi eyodwa enezinwele ngaphambi nje kokuqala: "Uyazi ukuthi yini enhle ngoMary Louise? Ubufakazi bokuthi uma sinaka futhi sinamathela kuyo, imizimba yethu izohlala nathi."
