This week Kyle explores santosha, the yogic practice of contentment, not as settling or going quiet, but as the willingness to stop fighting the truth of where you are long enough to actually feel it.

Class starts at 6:20

The inspiration came from grief. After losing his dog Lucy, Kyle found himself cleaning the house, crying, and unexpectedly feeling genuine gratitude at the same time. He kept waiting for one feeling to cancel the other out. It never did. That's the teaching.

In class, you'll work with the tension between effort and ease, discomfort and stillness, holding on and letting go. Santosha doesn't ask you to feel one thing. It asks you to be honest about what's actually true right now.

What to expect: a moderately active slow flow with longer holds, crescent lunge, warrior two, extended side angle, camel, and a surrender series to close. All levels welcome. No screen required.

Next week, Kyle and David take this conversation off the mat.
