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.

First breath practice, Samatva
Every morning Monday through Saturday join me in a livestream Wake Up Practice. It’s a free 15 minute Wake Up Practice based in the yoga traditions of the Amazing Kumar Pallana. Both classically grounded and creatively inspired, the practices observe the body as a vessel for breath and attention. The purpose is not the glory of the pose, but the activation of your life force.
With a first practice in 1978, and post graduate studies, and travel, I returned to Dallas where I’ve been teaching since 1997. I opened Park Cities Yoga January 2000 on Lovers Lane. Today’s Valentine practice celebrates the studio’s participants of 25 years.
Here is a first breath practice. Samatva. It’s a counted, even inhale and exhale. It’s not really about lung capacity but diaphragm control, and thus attention.
Join me here in this first breath practice, and join me every morning on Locals. Subscribe for more content.

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.
