Ashtanga at Any Age: Inspiration from Alma Thomas and Cognitive Improvement Research

This week, my reflections are deeply anchored by my decade-long journey with a dedicated student, Ron. As our sessions evolved from power-packed vinyasa to the disciplined practice of Mysore, an intriguing question bubbled up: Why do older adults, like Ron, gravitate towards yoga? While the physical transformations are palpable, it’s the cognitive rejuvenation that’s turning heads. Delving into the tales of Alma Thomas, a late-blooming artist, and recent research from the University of Illinois, we uncover yoga’s holistic gift — a dance of physical mastery and cognitive bloom. For every Ron seeking a deeper ‘why’ in their practice, this exploration promises insights into the boundless potential of age and the brain’s synergy with yoga.

What Is a Collider? How Ashtanga Practice Teaches Systems Thinking Through the Body

What Is a Collider? In systems thinking, a collider is a variable that sits at the convergence point of two or more independent causal pathways. Unlike a mediator (which transmits influence from one variable to another) or a confounder (which influences multiple variables), a collider is influenced by multiple independent sources—and this seemingly simple distinction creates profound complications in how we understand cause and effect. The mathematical structure looks deceptively simple:Variable X → Collider Z ← Variable Y Two independent causes (X and Y) both flow into a common effect (Z). But here’s where it gets interesting: when we condition on the collider—when we only examine cases where Z occurred—we create an artificial correlation between X and Y that doesn’t exist in the broader system….
