yoga with jeff
Based in household yoga practices of more than 40 years, Jeff’s yoga work will include group sessions, and additional content not focused exclusively on posture. That additional content will include 9 Minutes or LESS, and will include THE PRANA PROJECT. Jeff will share therapeutic, maintenance, and training that alternate between the Playful (Lila) and the Heroic (Vira). Look for an occasional Book Review, Interview, Creative Adventure, or Personal Note in realms practical and imaginative.

Week of 27 November 2023
Here’s what to look forward to this week —
1) On youtube you can see basics of yoga practice in 9 minutes or Less. They may go over the 9 minute mark but I aim for that 9 minute max. Shooting video alone with a timer remains a skill to acquire but it’s happening. You may have many variations of 3 planes of movement, basic breath practice, major joints, initial pprinciples and practices. Most fundamentally we practice how to yoke attention with breath in present awareness. We use the body as a vessel for breath. Technically, I’m working on eliminating microphone buzz/inaudibility. Content-wise, I want to give you poses beyond the most simple, but to advance does require actual interaction between us.
2) Our LOCALS platform will coninue Kumar Book updates into Chapter 3 as possible.
3) On Instagram, I don’t know what will happen, but will find moments to share, particularly related to our live and in-person sessions that meet on a) Thursdays, 8:30 am, at the Carpathia Collaborative functional medicine clinic, 10260 N. Central Exp’way, Suite 210, Dallas 75231 and b) Saturdays, 8:45 am, at Concorde on the Creek, 6750 Hillcrest Plaza, Suite 317, Dallas,s TX 75230.
4) There are potential openings for personal sessions so share with a friend. You could even buy an intro session for a friend or family member as a Christmas gift.
5) I have a notion to make yoga pajama pants and a yoga kurti top, special design if you had a line on a good tailor who could make these from my design
that’s all folks

Picking up hand balances again after years away.
What is needed for hand balances? How do they build? How do we enter and exit? Where is shtira?
Beginning again means asking familiar questions and looking for the answers in the posture, observing what doesn’t work, and what does. Learning twice, and twice again in Beginners Mind.

Morning practice, Wake Up With Yoga
I recorded this last night because I must be on the road during our usual time. Here we observe three planes of functional spinal movement with breath. I invite you to recall warm-ups of this past week and to practice from whatever you can recall. If you cannot recall, then reboot yr favorite livestream recording and use that.
This week marks the start of a new endeavor at the SAMURAI INTI Martial Arts Studio in Frisco. I’ll be teaching i a group class there at Sendai Sebastian Mejias ‘ dojo on Monday and Wednesday mornings.

Friday Livestream 4th of July
Although not a true morning wake up, the song remains the same.
Today’s practice is my first intentional movements with breath. Three planes, lymphatics, joints. That’s the way we address the experience written in our bodies like physical graffiti. Through our intentional breath and movement we recognize our state of being dazed and confused. We can move with grace through good times bad times. We awaken our bodies like houses of the holy. Not to say that our practice is a stairway to heaven, but we cannot hope to get clear and strong if we try to sneak in through the out door.
You don’t need to go down to the seaside, or over the hills and far away, or even to california. Practice wherever you are in the light.
And after practice? It’s a celebration day. Eat a Tangerine, I will listen LOUD to a British rock n roll band who made their fortune in the U.S. of A. I will boogie with Stu and my black dog. These are dancing days. Led Zep is dead, long live Led Zep....
