“What even is Ta***ic Hatha Yoga?”

You’ve probably heard of it…… and wondered…..but do you actually know what makes this practice so different from other yoga styles?

And it’s not just about the pose choices.

This ancient tradition, and it is not the oldest tradition, weaves together something that many modern yoga classes are missing - the marriage of physical discipline with energetic awakening. It’s where the shaping of the breath becomes a bridge, and the body is transformed into a sacred vessel, through which dormant energy begins to awaken.

Be warned: once you understand what Ta***ic Hatha yoga practice truly offers, your usual yoga class may feel a little incomplete.

Teaching yoga keeps me accountable for my life. It means I do life better.

And teaching yoga teacher trainings amplifies this. It means more people do life better.

This is here, aka Nolan, who trained with Jai a year ago, has spent that time integrating what he learnt, and now inspired by his love of yoga, he too is sharing, so more people can do life better.

It’s like the mycelium weaving through the forest floor, roots connecting and nourishing the whole.

You can practice doing life better with Nolan Thursdays 6.30am 🙏

This one popped up the other day — 2014 Ashtanga Yoga Conference in San Diego, hanging with , eldest son of .

Ashtanga lit the fire of discipline in me — tapas. I never went beyond the Primary Series, but it gave me many years of strong, steady practice.

When my kids left home, I wandered — across continents, seeking teachers, traditions, truth. That path eventually led me to Ta***ic Hatha.

Now, weeks from turning 65, I know I’ve found the practice that will take me all the way home.

Because this one taught me how to be at home.

And that’s why I now teach this methodology to others.

I’m revisiting Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras in preparation for the upcoming 200YTT.

I was also motivated to reevaluate their meaning for me and their relevance as to why are they the primary philosophical text for modern day yoga trainings.

And should I be researching another text, as there are many.

And I have recently completed 2 online “Yoga and Politics” trainings with 2 different teachers, with 2 different views on this point. So I needed to get clarity on my view.

I’m still evaluating my viewpoint, but according to this sutra, have I mastered asana?

Sutra 2.48
“the result of the mastery of asana, is that the pairs of opposites cease to have impact”.

What does this mean?

In this dance of life, where we are constantly impacted by change, some good, some not so good, and when we are always vulnerable to the opposition of that change as well, can we stay calm in the midst of this turbulence?

Patanjali yoga is defined by how stable a person you are, the opposite to how flexible you are.

The real measure of asana is how steady are you in the mess of life?

Well, feel like my yoga practice is paying off or maybe I’m just good at mess ♥️🙏

The Gumnut series.

Every teacher training is very special and we become a very special little family every teacher training.

It is not possible for us to not become a tight tribe, always built from vulnerability, humility, authenticity, and compassion.

So much love for this crew, and the time and growth we shared.

This is how we learn ♥️
