Spring has sprung and hammock season is here!

Yes, it’s a bit overcast… yes, I required my hoodie for max comfort… but I feel like “Hammock Opening Day 2023” went off smashingly!

Ever wanted to try yoga therapy? Or a 1:1 private yoga class? Well now is the time! I'm specifically looking for folks who would like support for mood issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, burnout, etc. Using the many tools of yoga, I can help you build or deepen your practice tailored to support your unique needs and goals.

If selected, each new client is offered 5 (60 minute) private yoga therapy sessions for free. Sessions are currently being held over Zoom, but if you are located in Michigan (Ann Arbor area) or Chicago, there may be opportunities to meet in person.
Sessions would start in mid-January 2023.

If you ever hear the phrase “mass awakening” in my class… RUN, for I have clearly been body snatched.

⁣Social media s**tstorm proceeds as one would expect. Some people think it’s unyogic and are aghast. Some people think that vaccine is bad news and are upset. Some people think it makes sense to care for your community.
⁣
⁣Some Yoga Journal readers just enjoy the practice of yoga and the confluence of cultural and social forces that accompany it. That’s me. I am fascinated by it. If I read Yoga Journal that is why.
⁣
⁣But some people have claimed Yoga as a banner under which they march bravely into their apocalyptic fantasies. The practice has been made subservient to the identity. Reading Yoga Journal is, for them, like wearing a mala bracelet and cute graphic t-shirt.
⁣
⁣In many ways Yoga Journal’s Instagram just laid bare a division in modern yoga that we would all be wise to notice.
⁣
⁣Many of us have given up on what Max Weber called “rational authority.” The doctors, lawyers, politicians and bureaucrats. I can’t say I blame them. They have done a s**t job in the past few years. Or centuries.
⁣
⁣But you can’t go back in time. Traditional forms of authority have been subverted, toppled, and undermined for generations now. The Catholic Church is the perfect example. They have lost their moral high ground and with it, their power.
⁣
⁣Charismatic authority wins the day. With all its superstition, magical thinking, and dangerous indifference to reason. The train has left the station. And a large percentage of “yoga people” are on board.
⁣
⁣Never has it been more important to play an active role in your yoga community. Support teachers and studios who demonstrate evidence-based practices and engagement in their communities. Be wary of grand narratives about freedom, sovereignty, and mass awakenings.

⁣Follow smart, critical, and thoughtful social media accounts and blogs.

How powerful would it be to humbly approach our inner aches and sorrows with this level of grace and compassion? ♥️

May I accept this pain without thinking it makes me bad or wrong.
