This MJ inspired chair pose loads your intrinsic foot muscles 👣 in a way that standard chair pose never touches. Your toe flexors are the unsung heroes of every standing balance you’ve ever attempted, and most yoga classes completely ignore them. Warrior III, Tree pose, basically anything on one leg… it all starts down here 🦶
Don’t stop til you get enough ankle stability 🫣😤

“The more often a stupidity is repeated, the more it gets the appearance of wisdom.” - Voltaire 🧐😳💡
The biggest driver for deeper forward folds (standing or seated) remains consistent, patient repetition of the actual movement itself. The social media “tweaks” (like specific activations or drills) often deliver only marginal, short-term gains for most people, not the transformative shifts often promised.
Repetition is boring. But it is works 👊🏾

Just like getting sick 🤢 when pathogens 🦠 overwhelm our immune system - we feel the symptoms. The demand on our immune system exceed its ability to fight back. The same things happens with our lower back. The daily loads (prolonged sitting, awkward lifting, repetitive movements, emotional stress) accumulate. When we consistently exceed what our lower back can handle, pain emerges as a warning signal ‼️⚠️
This 60 second reel is science made simple 🔭🧬
There is NO WAY I can cover every nuance, INDIVIDUAL VARIATION, genetics etc in one video. I break this down further on YouTube 🙏🏾👀

I know I sound like a broken record on this point and that is intentional. Some messages deserve repetition because they can completely change how we practice YOGA 🤨🧐 👇🏽
Simply hanging in standing poses, relying on gravity gradually makes us WEAKER and less stable.
In contrast, holding yourself up builds real strength, stability, and RESILIENCE 💪🏾👊🏾.
👉🏽 as I say in class all the time 👉🏽 It should feel like your body is being fighting the demand of gravity, whilst being stretched at the same time 😳💡

Most students hurt even more when they’re prescribed poses for an injury they have 🚑
Believe me, I’ve been on the receiving end of it 😭
The most empowering thing we can do as yoga teachers isn’t to fix our students. It’s to know enough so we can help them understand their own pain.
When someone finally gets WHY they’re hurting, not just what stretch to do about it, that’s when everything shifts.
That’s how you really impact someone’s life. For all the right reasons 🙏🏾

Back to 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 & back to my educational content 🙏🏾👇🏽
All my online courses are are designed NOT to instil a dogma, or to teach your everything (that’s impossible) but to give you the confidence to challenge conventional YOGA WISDOM. The same “wisdom” that for many students, causes more harm than good 🧐💬
My goal is to help teachers discard collective “knowledge” and to discover their own truth - as true wisdom (from back pain to yoga beyond the poses) comes from personal experience rather than following the crowd.
Education should be about EMPOWERMENT and not obedience 🙏🏾

Our last day in Taghazout 😭
A wise man once said that life is a constant journey of self-discovery. I’ve discovered that I just want to stay in Morocco 🇲🇦

If you wonder why I haven’t shared clips of our students in their practice, it is intentional. I have always felt that some come to a yoga retreat not to be seen by the world, but to finally see themselves. They come to escape the noise, not to become part of it 🫶🏽
That said, I want everyone to know how incredibly grateful we are to have had you here. You didn’t just embrace the yoga; you stepped fully into the heart of Moroccan culture. From the food to the sand dunes and the energy of the beaches. You shared it all with us 🙏🏾
Morocco keeps on giving, and so do you 🇲🇦❤️
Don’t forget to sign up for 2027 🙏🏾
