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.

Thursday Livestream Wake Up
Yes, we breathe and ground.
Yes, we turn, twist, bend, fold, activate three planes of functional spine.
This is not “stretching” as much as it is channeling isometric strength, activating awareness of the movement source, resulting in the occasional necessity of micro-movements, “mapping” your body. We discuss alignments, balance, strength, and range.
We are
1) awakening the channels of life force through your body in three planes, 2) awakening the mobility of your joints, 3) activating your lymphatic system and hence all the systems of your body. We activate metabolism.
Kumar used to say, “Yoga is the junction of everything.” The teaching fell north off the mountain into China, and rolled south of the mountain into India. No rolling this session.
When you’re ready, let’s go.
PS. I’d like to connect with this group online more.

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.
