In each yoga practice, we tap into the original energy that we are made from. This primal energy is as old as the big bang and as brilliant as the light of the stars. The original energy we inherit is sacred, auspicious and all-pervading. It is derived from the wind, …

Be the Sponge

Yoga is the art of absorption. In each practice aim to be like a sponge, soaking through your skin, muscle and nerves, all the way to the pithy core of your bones. These days, the feeling of absorption is getting lost (or dried out) as classes go lickety-split down the mat. When …

The Body of Bliss

In many of the old yoga books, it is said that through devoted practice one “obtains the highest bliss.” I once thought that this talk of bliss was hyperbole, sugar coating the practice to give it an out-of-this world appeal. But today I realize just how essential it is for …

Psychic Immunity

We have dedicated this month to building immunity in our practice. This involves pumping, stretching, compressing and squeezing the connective tissues of the body. Via waves, pulses, and ripples we support the lymph to flow. However, building a strong immunity is not limited to the glands, vessels, organs, and cells. …

End of the Year Yoga Nidra

At year’s end we practice yoga nidra, the yogic sleep, to empty our vessels and clear out the cobwebs of distraction and despair. And what a year it has been! In the days following the election so many of us have felt a collective clench, a kind of unconscious contraction. This …

Recently, one of our students, Courtney Zenner, shared her journey through Tias Little’s course, The Yoga of the Subtle Body. Her reflections reveal how the practice goes beyond the physical …

Wise Compassion

In this time of bewilderment and loss, when the whole world seems to be caught in a tailspin, we must return to the one thing that never erodes— a compassionate mind and wakeful heart. Today many good friends succumb to fret and gloom, overcome by angst for the future. But yogis …

Vote for That Which Can Never Be Elected

In the run up to election day, it has been difficult to avoid getting caught in the crossfire of the coast to coast campaigning. We have been marched through the landscape of projection—outcome projections in the battleground states and projected rhetoric loaded with inciteful speech and exaggerated claims. Have you …

Satyagraha

Now is the time to hold to what is true. Gandhi in his famed march against oppression and tyranny coined the term satyagraha, a vow to stand firm in the service of truth. As the election here in the U.S. approaches amidst much distortion, lies and misinformation, we are called …

How Sturdy are Your Bones?

As people age, the vata dosha becomes more pronounced and bones lose their strength and resiliency. SATYA is an excellent antidote to vata dosha imbalance as the practice is almost entirely done on the ground. By “dropping the bones” SATYA supports kapha dosha, hydrating and lubricating the joints and surrounding …
