My Favorite Stretch

My favorite stretch for low back pain.

(Photos by Emily Hall Photograhy)

Lay on your back. Bend your right knee and place your foot near your right hip (in line with your hip, not out to the side). Side bend your upper body to the right and hold your ankle with your right hand. If you can't reach your ankle, no problem. Stretch your left hand overhead as far as is comfortable. If reaching overhead doesn't work for you, reach out to the side or to a 45° angle. Soften at the fold of your left hip. Lengthen as much as you can through your left side. Again, do this at your comfort level, stretching should be pain free. Hold for at least 10 deep breaths, exhaling all the way out. Repeat on the other side. Do this every day. This is one you can even do in bed if getting up from or down to the floor is a challenge.

Part two, repeat this stretch with a block under your hips (at the sacrum, not the low back). Flatten your low back as much as you can. This deeper stretch focuses on the hip flexor muscles.Photos by Emily Hall

Classes are All Levels, beginners are welcome, please bring your own props and dress in layers! Minto Island Growers is located at 3394 Brown Island Road. The Farm Food Cart opens June 1st! Yay!

June 22, 2012 Update: the weather has been fluctuating a lot this month! Please check the Minto Island Growers facebook page to confirm that class is happening. We cancel when it's raining or too cold! Also, if you want a shorter class, we have a 7:30 half hour of "farmer stretches" before the regular yoga class. Join us for either or both!

My favorite restaurant and a new yoga class!

My very favorite place for lunch in Salem is Venti's Cafe, owned by Dino and Leslie Venti who are two of my very favorite people in Salem. I am working my way through the menu and have several favorites. Today I had the Veggie Deluxe (brown rice, tons of veggies, pineapple, black beans etc).
Another fav is their cajun rockfish tacos. and steak flatbread. and morrocan chicken. and pumpkin curry. and and OK, here's the menu that's eaiser since I have yet to eat anything there that isn't one my favorite list! PS and sweet potato fries. They have 2 locations, one in downtown at 325 Court St NE and the new taphouse in South Salem at 2840 Commercial St SE
Check out this article written by Leslie. 

Another favorite Salemite is Evelyn Dacker. I met Evelyn about ten years ago in Dan MeLeod's yoga class. She's an MD with the motto "Western Medicine with an Open Mind"  She owns Vida Family Medicine in South Salem. We have just started a new yoga class at the Vida Education Center (next door to the clininc) 1105 Liberty St. Class is Tuesday eveings at 6:30 and Saturdays at noon. Leslie Venti teaches a super fun Dynamic Flow class, mine is a bit mellower. These are All Levels classes, begginers are welcome! Please bring your own yoga props, class cost is by donation.

5/15/2012 Update: Debbie and Leslie are teaching OUTSIDE at Minto Island Growers Farm Stand and the Vida yoga classes are on hiatus for now. Check Vida's website for their current class offerings.
