The most common form of anxiety is 'high functioning anxiety' - you look ok on the surface and are fully able to do what you need to do at work and home, but you're suffering on the inside. And it doesn't seem to ever go away. I wrote this article to help the many millions who don't know what to do:

I've had a long journey of gradually feeling safe and comfortable with sharing how I feel, particularly while my anxiety feels out of control. I wrote this article to try to help those who feel the same. For many, being vulnerable feels impossible, and when you try it often feels worse at first. But wow, can it ever help relieve the pain! In my experience, being more and more vulnerable has led to more ease, trust and joy.

Discover why anxiety is so hard to talk about—and how being vulnerable can be a powerful step toward healing.

When I started DoYogaWithMe, it wasn’t about building a brand—it was about sharing something that had brought meaning and healing into my life.
Yoga changed how I lived, how I connected with others, how I showed up in the world. And I wanted to make that experience available to as many people as possible—without cost being a barrier.
That’s why we’ve built something different. No outside investors. No ads. No pressure to buy. Just a community-supported platform offering hundreds of free, high-quality yoga and meditation classes to people around the world.
We’ve chosen this path because we believe wellness should be accessible to everyone—not just those who can afford a subscription.
As you can imagine, this business model has been challenging, since it only works because some people choose to pay so that many don’t have to. Over the 15 years of our existence, we have been ok with being the 'little guy' amongst many big fish, since it allows us to be authentic to our mission and more creative with our story telling.
If you believe in accessible, values-driven wellness, I invite you to learn more about what makes us different—and why it matters:

We’re not just here to offer yoga. We’re here to serve, to support, and to stay true to a mission.

What Makes Us Different?   1. Free Content 200 of our classes are free, no strings attached. 2. Diversity In body size and shape, people of color. 3. True to Yoga We honor what yoga was originally meant to be - honest, generous, community-focused, service-oriented and transformative. 4. Plastic-fre...

One of most common things I hear from people living with chronic anxiety is that they've tried everything and nothing has helped. I felt the same for many, many years. So after decades of trying everything I could (holotropic breathwork, hot cold therapy, adrenaline sports, psychedelics) I finally wrote an article that is in response to that sentiment. Let me know your thoughts.

Think you’ve tried everything for your anxiety? You might be missing the tools that actually shift your nervous system. From cold plunges to breathwork to dance, here’s a playful, honest guide to the healing paths you haven’t tried—yet.

🌿 Struggling with anxiety that just won’t go away?
You’re not alone.

For years, I lived with chronic anxiety. I tried the usual approaches — medication, therapy, even just “pushing through.” But something was missing.

Anxiety isn’t just in your head. It lives in the nervous system — shaped by past stress, daily habits, and the fast pace of modern life.
