What if you didn’t have to fix what you’re feeling?

What if the practice was simply to feel it?

I love this reflection from Takahisa Kora:

“The key is to not resist or rebel against emotions or to try to get around them by devising all sorts of tricks; but to accept them directly, as they are.”

This morning at our Lighting the Path Yoga + Meditation Intensive, we’re going to explore exactly that—the practice of making space for our emotions rather than pushing them away, judging them, or trying to make them disappear.

Yoga gives us this incredible laboratory to practice being with ourselves as we are.

The joy. The sadness. The anger. The fear. The tenderness. The whole messy, beautiful human experience.

Come practice with us. ❤️

TODAY + TOMORROW
🧘 8:00–10:30 AM
📍 Green Yogi Telegraph — Samadhi Studio

You do not need to be part of the teacher training. Everyone is invited.

Come breathe. Come move. Come feel.

And maybe discover that you don’t have to change what’s here before you can meet yourself with love. ❤️

A few days ago, I dropped Quinn off at theater camp. Usually, she wants me to wait, hold her hand, and sometimes there have been tears when it’s time to leave. But this time she simply said, “Okay Papa, I’ll see you later,” and walked in on her own. I was so proud—and a little heartbroken.

Parenting, like yoga, is learning to love fully while letting go. ❤️

I can’t stop thinking about the story coming out of Cornell.

And, as the papa of a daughter, it hits me in a place that is hard to describe.

I know I can’t protect Quinn from everything that will happen to her in this life. I wish I could. There will be rooms I’m not in, decisions I can’t make for her, people I won’t be there to protect her from.

So maybe my job isn’t to somehow make the world safe for her. I can’t.

My job is to help her know herself.

To trust that feeling in her belly when something doesn’t feel right.

To know that NO is a complete sentence.

To have healthy boundaries and know she never owes anyone politeness when she feels unsafe.

To cultivate a fierceness in her that says, “I’m leaving.”

And if she ever finds herself — or a friend — in a situation that is going sideways, I hope she has the courage, awareness and skills to act. To get out. To call someone. To make a scene if she needs to. To stand beside another woman who needs someone beside her.

And I also know this...none of that guarantees her safety.

If someone violates her boundaries, that will never be because she wasn’t strong enough, discerning enough or careful enough. The responsibility belongs to the person who crossed that line.

What makes the Cornell story even harder to sit with is knowing how common these experiences are. Cornell’s own 2025 survey found that 35% of undergraduate women who responded reported experiencing nonconsensual sexual contact during their time there.

And maybe this is the other half of the conversation.

We cannot only teach our daughters how to protect themselves.

We have to teach our sons about consent. About respect. About noticing when a friend is crossing a line. About having the courage to stop him instead of laughing, looking away or staying silent.

I want Quinn to grow up fierce.

But even more than that, I want her to grow up in a world where she doesn’t have to be fierce just to be safe.

Sending so much love to anyone who has been re-triggered by this story, or who is carrying their own experience of sexual violence, fear, or violation.

58. Today I turn 58.

If I’m lucky enough to have another 20 years on this earth, that’s roughly 7,305 days, 175,000 hours, or 10.5 million minutes.

It sounds like a lot - until I think about how quickly the last 20 years went.
So today I’m thinking less about how much time I have left and more about how I want to spend it.

More sunsets. More oceans. More laughter. More time with the people I love. Say “I love you.” Forgive. Take the trip. Do work that matters. Pay attention.
I don’t want to save my life for later.

Remembering that life ends has a remarkable way of reminding us to live it.

That reflection inspired this poem:

Before the Last Breath

One day,
someone else will speak your name
for the last time.

Before that day comes,
pause.

Not to fear death,
but to let it teach you
how to live.

Do not spend this precious life
becoming
who others hoped you would be.

Become
the one your heart
has quietly known
all along.

Do not trade your mornings
for endless striving,
only to discover
that what you were working for
was never worth
what it cost.

Call the friend.

Say,
"I love you."

Say,
"I'm sorry."

Say,
"Thank you."

These words
grow heavier
the longer they remain
unspoken.

And when laughter
finds its way to your door,
do not tell it
to come back
when life is less busy.

When joy appears,
welcome it.

Life has never promised
a tomorrow
where everything
finally falls into place.

It has only ever offered
this ordinary,
astonishing moment.

Live it.

Love wildly.

Forgive quickly.

Hold the people
who matter.

And when your final sunset comes,
May you find your heart full
and your hands empty -
because you gave away
every gift
your heart came here to offer

September 2026 - Take Your Yoga Off the Mat This Saturday 🌊💙 - https://mailchi.mp/petegyoga/september-mid-month-2026-eblast

This Saturday, Sept. 19, join me and my family for California Coastal Cleanup Day! We’ll meet around 9 AM at Shorebird Park Nature Center at the Berkeley Marina and spend about **1–1.5 hours picking up trash and giving some love back to our shoreline.

In yoga, seva is selfless service. This is yoga too: Pay attention. Care. Show up. Serve.

Bring the kids, bring a friend & message me if you’re coming! 🌎💙

I was saddened to hear about the passing of Wendell Berry.

His writing has always carried a simple but challenging invitation...to remember that we belong to this world.

Not above it. Not separate from it. Part of it.

I think yoga asks something similar of us. To slow down enough to pay attention - to our breath, our bodies, the people around us, and the living world that holds all of it.

And perhaps attention is where love begins.

The more time I spend near the ocean, working at Caspar Cove, walking in the woods, or exploring outside with Quinn, the more I feel this. When we really come to know a place, it becomes harder not to love it. And when we love something, we naturally want to care for it.

So in honor of Wendell Berry, I’d love to invite you to turn some of that attention into action by taking part in California Coastal Cleanup Day on September 19 - wherever you happen to be. Find a beach, creek, park, neighborhood, or cleanup in your community and spend a little time caring for this beautiful world we share.

And if you’re in the East Bay, Stephanie, Quinn, and I would love to have you join us at the Shorebird Park Nature Center at the Berkeley Marina.
🌊 Saturday, September 19, 2026
🕘 Around 9:00 AM
📍 160 University Ave, Berkeley

Bring the kids. Bring a friend. Bring your yoga community.

Maybe this is part of the practice too...
Pay attention. Fall in love. Show up.

Thank you, Wendell Berry, for reminding us that this earth is not simply where we live.

It is our home. 🌎

September - What Would Dolly Do? - https://mailchi.mp/petegyoga/september-2026-newsletter

I’ve been thinking about Dolly Parton & the way she seemed to move through the world with so much humor, generosity, kindness, & authenticity.

And I keep coming back to one simple question:
What would Dolly do?
She would probably remind us not to take ourselves too seriously. To be generous with what we have. To love people well. To stay true to who we are. & maybe to add a little sparkle while we’re at it.
There is something deeply yogic in that.

Your Heart is Calling…

✨ Be held in a supportive, heart-centered community

We still have 5 spots left, and flexible payment options make it possible to say yes to yourself, even amidst life’s demands.�

What We Leave Behind

Sometimes,
the greatest lessons
arrive without words.

A sunset.
A quiet trail.
Cold water.
A forest breathing.
The sound of waves
meeting the shore.

These moments ask nothing of us
except our presence.

As I grow older,
I find myself wondering
less about what I can leave behind,
and more about
what I can help another fall in love with.

Because we rarely protect
what we have never known.

And we naturally care
for what has captured our hearts.

Perhaps that is how love
is passed from one generation
to the next.

Not through lectures.

Not through fear.

But through shared wonder.
Through muddy shoes,
windblown hair,
salty skin,
and the quiet awe
of standing together
before something larger than ourselves.

Maybe the greatest inheritance
we can offer
is not certainty.

Not success.

Not even answers.

Perhaps it is a living relationship
with this beautiful, fragile world.

To teach someone
to pause before a sunset.
To kneel beside a tide pool.
To look up at the stars.
To discover
that they belong to the Earth,
and that the Earth
belongs in their heart.

For love always comes first.

And from love,
care naturally follows.
