Ashtanga Tech episodes
- Relationships and BoundariesA tight shoulder is almost never a shoulder problem. That's the whole episode, and also the thing it took me years to believe.9 min
- FriendlinessFor two years I taught friendliness as constant positivity. Smile. Be welcoming. Say yes. Never let them see you frustrated. And the whole time, it was a lie.9 min
- Stocks & Flows in Human SystemsI stopped telling my students their breath was shallow. I started telling them where their energy went instead. Same fact. Completely different room.8 min
- Patience"Be patient." It's the most common advice in yoga. It's also the laziest thing a teacher can say.9 min
- Ashtanga Yoga as a SystemRoll out your mat and you see postures. Step back six inches and the whole thing reorganizes into something else entirely.8 min
- FaithWhen "have faith" means "stop thinking," it stops being faith. It becomes obedience. And obedience dressed as spirituality is how people get hurt.9 min
- Introduction to Systems TheoryA system is more than the sum of its parts. That line gets quoted to death. And almost nobody actually lives like they believe it.7 min
- Super-Loop: Kriya YogaA collection of good practices is not a system. Under stress, collections fall apart. Systems hold.9 min
- Non-Harm"First, do no harm." It sounds noble. It isn't even in the Hippocratic Oath. And the way most of us learned it does more damage than it prevents.9 min
- The System Inside of YouThe bureaucracy isn't only out there in the world. It moved into your body years ago, and it's running your hamstrings.9 min
