Simplicity


My friend Maia from julia warr on Vimeo.

I came across this video yesterday. You must watch it.

"Shot in Fire Island, New York, this film 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."

Goodness, I hope I'm as flexible and fit as her at that age - I have a feeling she'd be moreso than me now!! :)

Remarkable. I sure could sense her harmony.

This is really beautiful. This is my idea of the perfect retirement.
