I like this list because these are actual yoga poses not just made up shapes/names to sell more yoga “products.”

You can count on animals to make yoga fun.

Success can make you feel confident for a moment, but it is not the strongest foundation for self-belief.

True confidence develops when you face setbacks, learn from them, and continue moving forward.

Every time you rise after a failure, you strengthen your trust in yourself.

In yoga, āsana steadies, opens, releases tension, and prepares the body for deeper practice.

Prāṇāyāma offers that same preparation for the mind.

Through the breath, prāṇāyāma steadies what feels restless, clears mental clutter, and prepares the mind for concentration and meditation.

In the 8-limb path of yoga, this progression is intentional: through āsana and prāṇāyāma, the practice becomes a bridge toward deeper states of awareness.

Explore this relationship in Rod Stryker's newest breathwork class, ‘Dissolve Tension’, a clarifying practice that blends kapalabhati (breath of fire) and ujjayi (victorious breath) to clear mental clutter and invite quiet steadiness.

Haha!!😂 Yes, this is a thing, isn’t it?? At the end of the day, Yoga will ALWAYS ask you to come back to yourself. Why am I annoyed? Why am I reacting this way? What is the disciplined action I must take with my OWN reactions to this situation?? It’s not sexy. Way easier to blame and try to make others change, but SPOILER ALERT, it never works. 🙏🏼💁🏼‍♀️

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this one!😊

This was supposed to post last night but didn’t. No class tonight… See you beautiful souls next Wednesday!!🩷

( ) … The first step of the yogic path is to stop creating harm, for others and for yourself.

The principle is simple, you can’t live a life of peace, joy, and wisdom if you spend your energy and resources hurting people.

I have said and will continue to say over and over that while culturally popular in the USA, Yoga is COUNTERCULTURAL to Americans. We love war, we love domination, we love military industrial complex, we love empire! Yogic living requires giving up the violence on our hearts.
•
As we honor the memories of brave men and women who have sacrificed and died for our country, may we also commit to NOT sending more of them to die! May we commit to stop perpetuating and profiting from war. May we commit to the cultivation of PEACE and to loving one another. To feed each other and not bomb each other. To rejoice in each other and not kill each other. To protect one another and not dominate one another.

Then, and only then, can REAL freedom ring!

Have a blessed ! 🇺🇸
