Move or die

New groundbreaking research from the University of Colorado and Johns Hopkins University has identified the most powerful predictor of how long you'll live—and it's not what you might expect.

After analyzing data from over 3,600 people aged 50-80, scientists compared 15 different health markers to see which ones best predicted longevity. The winner wasn't cholesterol levels, blood pressure, or even age. It was physical activity—how much and how vigorously you move throughout your day.

As Outside Magazine writer Alex Hutchinson puts it "how much and how vigorously you move are more important than how old you are as a predictor of how many years you've got left."

The results showed that physical activity ranked as a better predictor of longevity than:

• Having diabetes or heart disease
• Cancer diagnosis
• Age
• Body mass index
• Smoking status

The best part? Unlike genetics or age, movement is something we can control.

Every time you step onto your mat, you're investing in your future self. My classes don't just help you feel better today—they're building the movement patterns and strength that research shows can extend your life.

Here's how your practice contributes to longevity:

• Consistent Movement: With yoga and Pilates you can build a sustainable daily practice that research shows is the strongest predictor of longevity
• Functional Strength: We build the mobility and stability that prevent the movement restrictions related to aging
• Mind-Body Connection: Our practices reduce stress and improve sleep—both crucial for longevity
• Sustainable Habits: Unlike extreme fitness regimens, yoga and Pilates create sustainable movement practices you can maintain for life

When you workout consistently, you're choosing a longer, healthier life.
