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.

Monday Livestream Wake Up With Yoga
Good Monday morning! We continue our wake up routine — activating breath, three planes of spinal function, lymphatic flow, and mobility of our joints. With those basics you can be confident to move your body in your day.
Funny thing is we hurt ourselves in the most mundane and awkward ways. In observing those who attended my yoga studio for more than 20 years, I saw that the three main sources of injury were #3 dog-walking, #2 travel, and #1 “sleeping wrong.” It can happen to the best of us! To perform our fun and funda-mental moves, you can be confident of your daily and nightly paths. Come along and wake up yr whole self. Stick around til the end to hear our random “wise guy” reading from our anthology of teachers, yogis, swamis, and gurus.
And for more content, subscribe for the price of a starbucks coffee. ( I stopped drinking coffee two weeks ago, but that’s another story. ) The real story is I’m adding more wise guy content, so look for that coming in this week.

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....
