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.

Saturday Livestream Wake Up With Yoga
Hello my friends,
As I celebrate my 66th birthday, I’ve committed to making this online channel. I Invite you to join me every day.
Every day Monday through Saturday at 6:30 am central time, we make a fundamental yoga warm up of the body, breath, and mind.
Every day our warm up includes breath delivery in the three planes of functional movement.
Every day we awaken joint mobility. Everyday we activate the the lymphatic plumbing system of the body. In so doing, we allow the body to clear metabolic waste and to signal the full metabolic function of all systems of the body. Digestive system, immune function, cardio vascular, respiratory, endocrine and nervous systems, fascial network, the senses and the mind— all integrate, all harmonize.
Every day we create a uniquely present response using the fundamentals. Biomechanics are essential. However, we use the practice as tools to recognize form and ultimately, to realize essence beyond form.
Every day we aim to share a random passage from an anthology of quotations from yogis, swamis, pandits, scholars, teachers, poets and writers, artists and clowns. They’re a bunch of wise guys. Not so different from you or me.
Join us every day.
Everyday. Everyday we do not miss. We cultivate the good habits of steady practice — discipline, self-examination, awakened presence, receptivity to the power of our Creator.
Join us every day. See you soon, see you tomorrow,
J
ps. it’s not uncommon these days to talk about the world as a simulation, as a matrix of illusion, as a video game made by the game-developer. nothing new here. just different words for the ancient observation of the limitations of our conditioned senses, and a different name for a power greater than us, God, Brahman, Higher Power, the Divine.
traditionally, the yoga practices have provided tools for uniting one’s whole attention with the object of attention, the highest object of attention being the Divine. whether you’re a wise guy or not, i invite you to clear the senses, wake up yr body and mind, and yoke toward the Divine. every day.

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....
