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.

Morning practice 6/12/24
Here’s the passcode: it0FGXP
There’s no talking at all in this video although several mosquitos were talking to me. ha.
This is about an hour with the first section awakening the three planes of the spine. This includes major joints. Also, hopping and basic foot work.The second section is not a beginner Salute to the Sun, but this is where I must personally ground my daily practice to be available for other work. The third section is a closing sequence on the back. Finally, there is a brief seated pose with conscious breath.
There is no counting, no talking, no verbal instruction at all, no warnings or observations, so, if you participate here, go slowly. Be guided by your breath. Do not rush. And whatever does not work for you today, place it on the shelf for the future.
Everybody wants instant results. Steady practice is the best way. It is to awaken the body, and also the living system of the senses, mind, soul.
PS: The theme is to awaken a morning practice. I had in mind a session of 9 minutes or less. Of course, 9 minutes is an artificial constraint, yet it’s a sufficient amount of time to activate body and mind. I am posting units of 9 minutes, plus units much more than that.

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.
