wednesday morning inspiration

I'm copying this verbatim from Eilis Boyle's Silent Storyteller's post ... it's perfect.

My friend Maia from julia warr on Vimeo.

 "Shot in Fire Island, New York, this film (4min. 23 sec) captures the secrets of eternal youth as Maia Helles, a Russian ballet dancer turns 95 but still remains resolutely independent, healthy and as fit as a forty year old.

 Made by Julia Warr, artist and film maker met Maia on a plane 4 years ago and became utterly convinced by the benefits of her daily exercise routine, which Maia perfected, together with her Mother, over 60 years ago, long before exercise classes were ever invented. (2011)

I think I could watch this every day.

    Wow!!!Inspires me since I deal with fibromyralgia, and feel like I am 80 unless I move. You can see she was a dancer, LOVED IT! So True, Simplicity, Work and Enjoyment...
