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.

Wednesday Livestream Wake Up
Today’s note is about the value of an undistressed, vigilant persistence of practice.
Be steady. Everyday. Find the simplest practice to maintain. Do not always worry about measuring progress, but rather make your daily practice an essential routine, and you keep open that door of un-ending progress and growing benefit.
Let’s make three planes of movement, clear lymph, mobilize the joints. Let’s go.

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.

I'm loading a fundamental, easy, and progressive yoga series, each video about one minute. Did I say "easy"?
The purpose is not acrobatic virtuosity. Acro must be for another day. These videos aim to restore awareness in channels of strength from your diaphragm through your neck and shoulders out to your fingertips. These videos assume you can stand up with balance and that you can actually move about your day.
If you are having mysterious wrist problems, trouble with your elbows, tweaks of the neck and shoulder then this series is for you. Be sure you comment.
Starting Saturday, 10/4/25. Check it out.
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....
