One of my most poignant final memories of my grandma before she passed away was sitting in her living room with her and other family members and taking turns tossing a ball into a wastebasket. Surrounded by her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, her eyes lit up as she sank her armchair shot from 10 feet away. At 97 years old, the once-talented tennis player was able to give her youngest family members a glimpse of her youth and athleticism.

Adho Mukha Svanasana — known as downward-facing dog or, simply, down dog in the West — is a foundational asana, or yoga pose. Hands and feet on the mat, with hips high in the air, the inverted V shape is a highly recognizable posture. You’re likely to encounter it during yoga classes, where it is sometimes used as a transitional pose and resting posture, as well as during nonyogic training.

One of my absolute favorite pastimes is hiking. Not only is it a great workout, training legs, core, heart, lungs, and mind, but hiking has also offered me numerous opportunities to see the world. I’ve hiked while visiting far-flung locales — Peru, Iceland, Nicaragua, Italy, Greece, and Jordan — and explored my own “backyard” while living in New Jersey, California, the D.C. area, and now, Minnesota.

The summit of Vermont’s Mount Philo, with its views of the sparkling Lake Champlain, is one of the most popular outdoor destinations in the state for a reason: Its short, roughly three-quarter-mile ascent is relatively easy — an accessible climb for hikers, picnickers, families with young children, and nature enthusiasts of all types. Mount Philo was an ideal location for one of my early attempts at rucking — walking with weight, usually in the form of a pack known as a rucksack.

The hypermobile phase is the first stage. Linda Bluestein, who specializes in hEDS and treats performing artists with an increased risk for hypermobility disorders, refers to it as the “fun” phase. “It’s when you’re able to do all kinds of party tricks. I used to put both feet behind my head and walk on my elbows and do all kinds of goofy things to entertain people,” she says. Knight notes that children are generally more mobile than adults, with extra space in the joints where bone can grow.

Visit any yoga class and you’ll observe a wide range of bendiness, though the person who can easily reach their toes in a forward fold doesn’t necessarily have hypermobility. “There’s a difference between flexibility and hypermobility,” notes Patty Stott, DPT, ATC, CHT, who works with hypermobile patients in Arvada, Colo. Hypermobility means that joints can move beyond the normal range of motion.

During an acupuncture treatment, a practitioner places needles in the body along energetic channels called meridians. They form an invisible lattice that links all the organs and parts of the body; qi and blood travel through these channels. “You can understand meridians as highways inside our body,” explains Di Guan, LAc, DAOM, who practices acupuncture and Chinese medicine at Shén Acupuncture and Meditation Studio in Minneapolis.

Explore your own community through the eyes of a tourist. Check out museums, parks, or other local landmarks that you’ve wondered about but never visited. Go to a local ethnic market or restaurant and sample some new-to-you foods. Take a daylong walk without a destination. See what you find. Sign up for a language class at a community center. Join a conversation group to practice. Invite friends over to cook Chinese, French, or Indian food, and watch a subtitled film from that country.
