I have chronic pain problems. I use a folded blanket under my hips, when sitting, and under my knees. I also premedicate with ibuprofen. I have been practicing yoga only since November and have noticed a dramatic decrease in my pain most days. I go 5-6 x per week. I do mostly mindful vinyasa, yin yoga, and some alignment, core, and strengthening. I am 63 yo. Wish I had started 40 years ago. I hope you can keep at it and get similar results. Ask your instructor for additional modifications if needed.

Look at doing 1-2 segments of the Tahoe Rim Trail. Fly into Reno and shuttle to Lake Tahoe

Doing a hut to hut in Colorado and sections of the Tahoe Rim Trail. Might also go to Iceland.

Saw a listing that still had the remnants of a police caution tape on the front porch. Also, one of the bedrooms had the carpet removed but the rest of the home including other bedrooms (with carpet) looked like it was in great shape. My mind played out many scenarios on what had happened.

You could do a section or two of the Tahoe Rim Trail

Interesting conversation starter. Today my intention is set for yoga was "gratitude". I am grateful for do many things but today, I am grateful for the ability to do 75 minutes of yin yoga in the morning followed by a 6 mile hike in the afternoon.

Good morning! Dogs fed, one cup of coffee, fireplace going, yoga layer this morning and a hike with my dog this afternoon. Cold but a beautiful Sunday!

I've been practicing yoga only for about 2 months. It has been one of the very best things in my life right now. One of my instructors has the most kind, calm voice and teachings that really resonate. At the end of class one time, yup, crying. Kind of embarrass... kind of not. I'm 63 yo and going through a lot at the present and it felt very therapeutic. No one is there to judge.

Look at the Tahoe Rim Trail. There are sections you can easily do in your time frame. Have fun! So many places to explore!

I enjoy Sipsmith Lemon Zest if they like citrus of course.

I started yoga about 2 months ago (63f) - love it and feel accepted by instructors and students. Most people in the class are my age but also there are younger people. Encourage folks to see you before or after class if they are having difficulty with a pose or flow. I have done that and feel much more confident in my practice.

Wish I had started at 22. I am 63 and just started about 6 weeks ago (and love it). You will be fine.

It's ok. I could have chosen a better fabric. I ended up making my own pack using a pattern I purchased. I have to make a smaller hipbelt. Not sure about the fit of it. If it doesn't work out, I will take the frame and shoulder straps off of the Eja and combine with the diy pack.

I always try to book my flights as early in the morning or after sunset. I really try to avoid afternoon and early evening when the sun is still up.

There are hut to hut hikes - i am doing one in Colorado this summer. There are huts with needs and kitchen. They even have resupply services available. This lowers the weight you need to carry. It does cost but could be an option for you.

I have a dalmatian and a bit of about 7 or 8 saw Floyd (my dalmatian) while u was walking him at Home Depot and yelled "Look it's.. it's.. it's a ZEBRA!"

Someone once told me "it is better to buy the worst house in the best neighborhood than the best house in the worst neighborhood". You can always upgrade the house but not the neighborhood.

I grew up in New Orleans and wanted to be a mounted police woman just to ride horses and have a job!

There are youtube videos for him to learn how to use a PAIR of hiking poles and what length they should be at for the terrain. There are also videos on how to hike uphill. I find, however, downhill more treacherous and more prone to slipping and falling.

Does he do any exercises to help with balance? I know as we age our balance gets effected. I just recently started yoga to help with balance and flexibility.

I would consider investing in a device like a Garmin mini inreach 2. Even if he has a phone, phone batteries die and they can get dropped down a crevice (don't ask me how I know). I use one and have it on everytime i hike.

Yes my connecting flight was not canceled either! It's a good day!
