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.

Tuesday Livestream Wake Up With Yoga
BREATH.
Every person is an expert since everybody has been breathing day and night, every day since before you can remember. You go to sleep at night and wake up in the morning and you’re still breathing. But when you practice breathing consciously you open to real potential and can unlock many limiting conditions.
First, observe yourself breathing normally without any change. Then, make intentional changes. Observe the breath through the nose. Observe the breath cycle as an exhale and an inhale. Observe the lungs as they fill from the bottom to the top. Can you put your attention on the present moment of the breath cycle? To place your attention on the breath cycle allows you to yoke attention, breath, body. You enter the nervous system and the functions of body and mind, strength, balance, function, emotion, memory, thought.

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.
