Love of Body
The way we treat the external world is a true reflection of the way we treat our own self. Non-harming (ahimsa) is first and foremost to be applied to self and it clear in this practice that encourages us to be kind to our bodies.

The Eternal Commitment
Embody the fruits of eternal commitment to constant renewal. This practice allows us to explore our personal edge and attempt a challenging arm balance while staying curious about where we have come from and where we have yet to go.

Exquisite Expansion
Create space and ease within the body with chest- and shoulder-openers. Allow spaciousness through your heart beginning on your back, moving to a short standing series, and then to several belly-down chest openers.

Pure Release
Unlock blocks and create space in areas of the body that hold a lot of tension such as the shoulders and hips. Find physical and mental comfort in poses that ask for softness.

Internal Exfoliation
Focus on poses that physically churn the body to wring out stuck energy and clear out old, un-useful tendencies that tie us down emotionally and clog our inner pathways.

Insightful Integration

The Witness Seat

Yoga Every Day
Finding Focus
Create a container of concentration (dharana). Through a series of lunges, forward bends, backbends, and breath work, allow the practice to become a moving meditation, training our often scattered minds to be held steadfast and improving our ability to focus.
Yoga Every Day
Fearlessness
Explore freedom from one of the root causes of suffering through this practice: abhinivesha (the fear of death/ending). This klesha (root cause of suffering) can be interpreted as mistaking the impermanent for the permanent. Move through backbends, strengthening posttures, and breath work before a restful close in savasana.
Yoga Every Day
The Neutral Pallet
Dive into aversion (dvesha). Aversion - the opposite of attachment - is a strong dislike to something or someone. Creating a neutral palette means allowing life to be just as it is without attaching a story of good or bad to it; let sensation be sensation, thoughts be thoughts and people be people without allowing it to negatively impact you in mind or body.
Yoga Every Day
Non-Attachment
Today’s topic is attachment (raga) and more specifically extreme attachment to things that are pleasing to the mind and pleasurable to the senses. Explore how you can enjoy the sweetness but not be a prisoner of indulgences. Vairagya means being unattached to the desire to repeat experiences of pleasure.
Yoga Every Day
A We-Centered World
A practice to celebrate altruism: the practice of selfless concern for others. Moving through a seated meditation and a series of postures that weave belly-down spine strengthening with supine heart openers, begin to explore asmita, which means egoism or the mentality of "I, me, mine" and how to shed this in order to embody humility. Invite in a feeling of oneness to purify the illusion of separation and re-collect you to the collective heart of all beings.
Yoga Every Day
The True Nature of Things
Explore avidya, which means ignorance in how we can experience misperception of the true nature of things. With the help of our yoga practice we can polish the mind so that our perception of things is crystal clear, therefore diminishing suffering that is caused from misunderstanding.
