Jogging and the gym were never my thing, sport a silly spectacle. But I discovered the grace of movement. I flowed with Tai Chi, sinking low to feel the energy ebb and flow. I bent the tree and allowed Hatha Yoga to breathe in me. I tried walking the dogs, but they caught some fleas…

But exercise is important, so I found my groove in Stadgaldr, or rune postures. Eighteen postures, each the nature of a rune, combined with breathing, balance, and concentration tone the body, mind, and soul. Persistence over time is the only goal. Each position is so easy to hold, but keeps each for ten minutes, and miracles unfold.

The mind quickens, mindfulness expands, and a feeling of well-being fills each limb and cell. This is no ordinary way but feeds from the magnetic force of earth and sun, flowing, connecting, and increasing.
The nervous system calms, the energy collects without waste, and the chakras clear. Any time, anywhere, at no cost, I can do my rune yoga. It gives me a kick and wake-up call, surpassing any energy drink’s buzz.

With each rune posture, I tap into an ancient wisdom, harnessing the power of the universe. It’s a quiet revolution, a personal alchemy that transforms stress into serenity, fatigue into vitality. This practice, rooted in the earth and reaching for the stars, has become my secret weapon, empowering me to face life’s challenges with grace and strength.
