Los Angeles – When veteran entertainment industry publicist\u00a0Makeda Smith<\/strong>\u00a0began pole dancing as a fitness hobby, over 12 years ago, she had no idea it would morph into a life changing journey.\u00a0\u00a0The 63-year-old grandmother, who has received international notoriety for her dance flow movement practice,\u00a0Flying Over 50<\/a>, has announced a brand expansion during Women\u2019s History Month.\u00a0\u00a0Makeda is releasing her first book,\u00a0\u201cFlying Over 50 at Any Age, A 30-Day Self Journal for Speeding Past Limitations\u201d<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0on\u00a0April 5, National Self Care Day.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0In addition, she has also launched an online wellness portal,\u00a0<\/strong>The Makeda Method<\/a>, offering healing breathwork sessions, deep stretch yoga classes, and dance flow movement lessons, all targeted for maturing seniors.

\u201cFlying Over 50 at Any Age, A 30-Day Self Journal for Speeding Past Limitations\u201d<\/em>\u00a0is an encouraging guide for navigating through life\u2019s many holding patterns.\u00a0\u00a0The author offers daily motivation and wisdom through introspection about her life while prompting the reader to write and reflect on their own journey.\u00a0\u00a0By the end of the book, readers will hopefully find themselves renewed, invigorated, and ready to \u2018Fly Over 50,\u2019 soaring past societal and self-imposed speed limits.
\u201cWhen I turned 50 over a decade ago, I was at one of the lowest points in my life.\u00a0\u00a0The market had crashed, and I literally lost everything \u2013 but through it all, I found myself. I discovered that life doesn\u2019t end at 50, but it does take on new responsibility.\u00a0\u00a0Diving into fitness not only saved my life, but it also positioned me in the current pro-aging movement and garnered me the profound understanding that aging is one of the most powerful celebrations of living a long life,\u201d expresses Makeda. \u201cMy book,\u00a0\u2018Flying Over 50 at Any Age\u2019<\/em>\u00a0and my new wellness portal,\u00a0The Makeda Method<\/em>, are my support systems for adults who are being challenged with the many effects of what we call \u2018growing old.\u2019\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Aging is a natural process, but the secret is mastering practices for mitigating the daily stress that comes with it.\u201d\u00a0<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u2018The Makeda Method\u2019 is a culmination of wellness offerings for everyone, all ages, but particularly for individuals struggling with the anxiety of aging.  As a certified breath and stretch coach, Makeda created the online portal to help others establish their own personal routines for health and wellness. Layered with the grace of her private coaching, breathwork is taught as a mindful tool for eliminating tension and unease, while deep stretch classes enhance flexibility and mobility in the body and work to calm the mind as well.  <\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cEmbracing senior citizenship can be overwhelming.\u00a0\u00a0That\u2019s where finding a coach comes into play.\u00a0\u00a0A coach can guide you with the training and tools you need to initially get started and hold you accountable for your daily practice. Eventually it all becomes secondhand and then you are fine on your own.\u00a0\u00a0I\u2019m still a busy publicist with my own PR agency, but coaching has always been a passion point for me. Now with the release of my book and wellness portal, I\u2019m hoping to further spread the news that growing older is a divine blessing when approached with attentive self-care!\u201d explains Makeda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
