Join me for a simple 7-day observational check-in. 👇

👉Over the past few weeks, many of us have been moving through intense creative and work cycles. Sometimes improved sleep is not only about what we drink, but also about a natural nervous-system downshift after periods of sustained production. It can also reflect the benefits of reducing or changing our caffeine habits.

👉For the next 7 days, I invite you to gently observe:
• Sleep quality
• Daytime steadiness
• Mood and tolerance
• Morning beverage choice

👉Which best describes your daily drink right now?

☕️Regular coffee
🍵Tea
🍄Mushroom coffee
🧉Something else

Comment below with your choice and join the 7-day check-in. Small observations create powerful awareness.

New books are live.
This collection reflects years of teaching, observing, photographing, and listening. Each title stands on its own, and together they form a quiet library for students, teachers, and practitioners who value depth over speed.

Poetic Ai for Yogis
A contemplative introduction to working with Ai as a reflective companion. This book invites slower prompts, ethical awareness, and thoughtful engagement, grounded in yogic principles rather than productivity culture.

The Art of Mindful Spaces
A design and observation guide for those who shape physical environments. Rooted in awareness, proportion, and care, it explores how space influences attention, behavior, and well-being.

Hatha Salutations
A practical and photographic exploration of classical hatha movements and transitions. Designed as a study and teaching reference, it emphasizes rhythm, alignment, and embodied understanding.

Yoga Asana Photography
A technical and artistic manual for documenting yoga postures with integrity. This book bridges teaching, photography, and visual literacy for educators and creatives alike.

Integrated Yoga Pathway
A comprehensive framework connecting philosophy, practice, and teaching methodology. Created to support long-term development rather than quick certification.

The Art of Yoga Asana
An in-depth visual and instructional study of posture as expression, inquiry, and craft. Focused on precision, presence, and respect for individual bodies.

A Glimpse of Yoga Workbook
A reflective companion designed for students in training. Includes prompts, space for integration, and guided inquiry to support personal practice.

A Glimpse of Yoga
An accessible overview of yoga philosophy and practice, written to orient newcomers and ground returning students in foundational ideas.

Grateful to everyone who reads, studies, and practices alongside this work. More to come, always with care.

This morning feels quietly celebratory.

With two sleepy puppies nearby and a warm cup of tea, I am sharing something that has been years in the making. My complete collection of yoga books is now published and available on Apple Books, with newly redesigned covers and a unified visual language.

These books were never meant to stand alone. They were written as companions to practice, study, reflection, and teaching. Together, they form a living library that reflects how I teach yoga. Slowly. Thoughtfully. With respect for tradition and room for personal inquiry.

The recent redesign of the covers was informed by a typography and layout course I completed through the Art Department at UC Berkeley. Studying spacing, hierarchy, proportion, and restraint allowed me to return to these works with fresh eyes. The goal was not decoration, but clarity. Covers that feel calm, grounded, and consistent. Covers that allow the content to speak without distraction.

You will notice a quiet cohesion across the collection. Each book serves a different role, yet they belong together. From physical practice to reflective workbooks to integrated study pathways, this library mirrors how yoga unfolds over time rather than all at once.

Accessibility matters deeply to me. These books are offered freely on Apple Books so students, teachers, and curious practitioners can learn without barriers. Yoga has always been about removing obstacles, not creating them.

If you are a student of Edge Yoga School, these texts are now easier than ever to reference, revisit, and study alongside your training. If you are a teacher or lifelong learner, I hope they offer steady companionship on your path.

Today, I am simply pausing to acknowledge the moment. Quiet work has a way of accumulating, and sometimes it is important to notice when it takes visible form.

Thank you for reading, practicing, and learning alongside me.

Students enrolled in our program may send a Slack DM to Michelle or those interested in enrolling are invited to send a CHAT to begin a conversation.

Top ten jobs artists can pursue right now based on Vittorio Colao’s insight that organizations thrive when people closest to the work are trusted, informed, and supported.
1. Customer experience designer
Artists excel at sensing tone, flow, and emotional response. This role focuses on shaping how customers feel at every touch point, not just what they are sold.
2. Brand voice and communication lead
From emails to chat responses, artists are uniquely skilled at translating values into language that feels human and consistent across platforms.
3. Front line operations strategist
This role designs systems that empower first touch point workers with information and context so issues can be resolved without constant escalation.
4. Service design consultant
Artists can map how people move through a business, identifying friction points and redesigning processes to feel intuitive and humane.
5. Creative project manager
Blending structure with creativity, this role aligns teams moving at different speeds while preserving local intelligence and momentum.
6. Training and onboarding designer
Artists can create learning experiences that are visual, embodied, and accessible, helping teams adapt to new tools and workflows with confidence.
7. Community and relationship manager
This role focuses on trust building, listening, and maintaining long term relationships rather than transactional engagement.
8. Content systems architect
Artists are well suited to organizing knowledge, stories, and resources so information flows outward to the people who need it most.
9. Ethical Ai or technology liaison
This role bridges human values and technical systems, ensuring tools support real people doing real work rather than overriding judgment.
10. Small business integration advisor
Inspired by Colao’s idea of aligned autonomy, this role helps businesses operate as connected systems without forcing uniformity, allowing each part to move effectively together.

As Vittorio Colao, former CEO of Vodafone, observed, organizations are not meant to move as a single machine. They are more like fleets of boats shaped by their environments. When artists are placed in roles that honor this reality, businesses become more adaptive, resilient, and human.
