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.

Update for this Morning Wake-up plus notes of Gratitude
a note on availability:
LOCALS is taking time to upload this video. Apparently, the livestream is available for you when I start at 6:30 am and is accessible until I finish. My aim has been 15 minutes every morning which I’ve done this week and will continue Mondays through Saturdays. Yet, the LOCALS “publishing process” takes its sweet time to make a recording available. It is not consistent so I’m getting a handle on the “production cycle” and its availability to you. I’m learning.
Furthermore, my access and time on LOCALS has expanded recently with their change in policy. That specifically means I have up to 30 minutes per day to livestream. And, when 50 “Paid Supporters” have joined, then LOCALS allows more time to Livestream, etc.
My purpose here is to create a steady morning session at 6:30 Central Time, whose content is to wake up the breath, the body, and the attention. 15 minutes.
a note on content:
Although innumerable warm-up sequences are possible, our “wake-up” awakens the body with intentional breath. The breath is the bridge. The breath is the anchor. The breath is the rhythm and the life.
In the 15 Minutes of Waking practice, we wake up Joints, and the Three Planes of Spinal Movement using Breath. This 15 minute period can also include specific breath focus, lymphatic focus, or possibly other areas /body systems. If we awaken strength and mobility with conscious breath, then we enter our day with greater clarity of mind and greater availability of body. We “yoke” Breath, Attention, the Body.
In addition to the 15 Minutes of Waking, I will include some further practices for those who wish to continue. And, in fact, as I get the rhythm of our online productivity cycle, I think we can be much more productive together.

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.
