7 Keys to Longevity & Yoga Expo Love

Diana Dalton • Feb 21, 2024

7 Keys to Longevity ✨✨✨

1. move more
2. eat more fruits & veg
3. get enough sleep!
4. don’t smoke, don’t drink too much
5. manage your chronic conditions
6. prioritize relationships
7. cultivate a positive mind-set


So if
you can only pick 1? The advice is to do physical activity. If you can’t do that, focus on being positive.


My two cents? Yoga helps with both. Yoga also helps with #3, #5 and #6, because when you come to class you also make friends!

Join me at the YogaExpo

Come enjoy the amazing community at the Yoga Expo. It really is the best part. Sure, there are tons of classes, music, food & shopping. But the best part is doing something fun and good for you with your friends! So come make new friends, come feel the love and good vibes of being together. Tend your garden and grow at the Yoga Expo. Last year I spontaneously joined an African Dance class that was starting in the main convention hall. It was so much fun to move, learn and laugh together. Being open to new experiences is the spice of life!


My class is the Daily Yoga Reset and uses the good actions of Iyengar Yoga to wake up, warm up, lubricate and align the body. We will learn a sequence that's perfect to take home for daily practice. Link for tickets 👇 I hope you'll join me!

Iyengar Yoga is for EVERYBODY. No one is too stiff, too out of shape, too large, too thin, too weak, or too old for Iyengar Yoga!


Best known for its attention to detail and use of props, BKS Iyengar pioneered an approach to classical yoga that is accessible to anyone who is seeking to improve their life.


Using physical alignment as a starting point, Iyengar Yoga encourages the spread of intelligence throughout the body, the growth of self-awareness, and an experience of the postures as a form of “meditation in action.”


Certified Iyengar Yoga Teachers are recognized worldwide for their profound understanding of the subject of yoga that allow them to teach appropriately to the group in front of them, whether they are younger, older, athletic, or have physical limitations.

Yoga Expo Returns
By Diana Dalton 03 Feb, 2023
It took me many years to start practicing yoga consistently. I would take a class and then be so sore that I wouldn't return, sometimes for months! This went on for years until 2002, when my mom was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. I knew deep in my heart that I needed to change my lifestyle or I would be facing the same situation. Fear is an excellent motivator! I knew I couldn't make these big changes on my own. and I also knew Yoga was an entire blueprint for healthy living, even if I was pretty fuzzy (ignorant) on the details. I took a leap of faith and signed up for Teacher Training at Synergy Yoga in Miami Beach to deepen my practice and find out what all this yoga business was about. I graduated in June 2005 and began teaching immediately. 18 years later, I can say with confidence it was one of the smartest decisions I ever made. I am healthier, stronger and have more ease and freedom in my body and mind than I ever could have imagined. Yoga works, you just have to do it! The first ethic in yoga is ahimsa or nonviolence. Had I known this when I started practicing, I might have been more gentle with myself, not pushed so hard, and been so sore that I did not return for months... I say might, because that person was pretty rigid- in body and mind- so maybe I wouldn't have gotten the message! While we might come to yoga for any number of physical reasons, trust that the practice infuses all aspects of your being and life. It really is a gift, a gift I treasure so much I've made it my life's work to share it with you. May you learn from my mistakes without having to repeat them. I invite you to start on your own yoga journey. Join me for Yoga 101 Miami, let's be healthy together!
