Yoga is an embodiment practice.

A disembodied entity cannot give voice to the experience of yoga.

The person leading you through these practices should be able to internally source their content and have the patience to write their own copy from the heart.

Maybe AI can make the process faster, but some things are worth the time they take to do, like going through your own iterative process to write about your work and show up authentically.

Which is another thing AI cannot teach you to do. Think about it.

You know what can teach you to live authentically from a deep connection to your own embodied experience?

YOGA

And who should you trust to teach you yoga? Someone who is living it.

As in someone with a body, and also as in someone who holds the teachings dear, principles like ahimsa, or non-harming, the first tenet a yogi learns to live by.

Would a person living the practice of doing the least amount of harm lean toward technology that is causing harm on many levels, and is promised to do more so in the future?

I'm asking myself this question, and you should be too.

You think that the answer to whatever the problem is lies outside of you, that the answer to what to eat, how to move, or how to parent can be delivered to you by the podcast host who has never laid eyes on you and has no clue of your lived experience, habits, or heartache.

You believe the expert is someone outside yourself when the truth is: YOU ARE THE EXPERT ON YOU.

You can look inward, reflect, run experiments, gather intel, make adjustments, and rely on your internal feedback for truth about what works for you.

You can learn to trust this inner wisdom and return to it over and over and over again to support your self physically, mentally, emotionally, and energetically.

YOU can guide YOURSELF into a better experience of being in your body and in the circumstances of your life even when (especially when) life gets hard.

Yoga and Ayurveda can teach you about yourself.

I can teach you yoga and Ayurveda.

Yoga Nidra: Because your body is tense, your mind is full, your heart is heavy, and you miss yourself.

ONLINE TONIGHT @6:30CST

I see you out there hustling, meeting everyone's needs, excelling at your job, checking those to-dos, forgetting to eat, skimping on sleep, and wondering where the time goes.

Meanwhile, rhythms and cycles are playing out in the background, time is moving in circles and spirals, and you're missing subtle clues from yourself that would help you navigate your life with greater ease.

And you miss yourself.

I popped in here today to tell you that you can reconnect with yourself, the rhythm of nature, and the passing time with a monthly dark moon ritual.

The new moon, or amavasya, is a time to turn inward, contemplate what needs to be left in the dark, and draw out what wants to be brought into the light. It is the perfect time to practice Yoga Nidra.

New Moon Yoga Nidra happens online tonight at 6:30 pm.

Your camera can be on or off. You can wear your pjs. Your house can be messy.

No one cares about any of that.

I certainly don't.

I care that you are nourished and supported by the unseen forces at play in your life, that you are connected to your inner self, that you can allow yourself an hour every once in a while to be the center of your own attention, and that you are not carrying that which is no longer yours to carry instead of availing yourself to that which is.

Yes, this class has the potential to provide all of this for you, even if you fall asleep.

So, get registered and come see what happens in the fruitful darkness.

Much love,

P
