Exciting news!

1. I'm hosting a retreat! Reset • Regulate • Revive - Yoga & Wellness Retreat is happening from October 23-26* at the magical OMG Acres in West Virginia, just 3 hours from DC.

This is your invitation to step away from the noise and into a supportive, trauma-informed space in a small, supportive group (max 20 participants). You'll benefit from an incredible set of wellness practitioners deeply committed to fortifying us as we embark on a collective "what next?" journey. A taste of what awaits: Daily sunrise meditation - transformative vinyasa flows - candlelight yin yoga + healing sound bath - NADA acupuncture & herbal healing -ACT-based workshops - farm-to-table meals - bonfires under the stars - nature bathing in pristine woodland 👉 Details+Signup at https://feelitallyoga.com/reset-regulate-revive *Note: the retreat was originally planned for September 25-28, but was shifted by popular demand to a month later, when the leaves are changing and fall routines are more settled. 2. I'm doing video versions of the most popular yoga sequences from this podcast. To start off, an upcycled version of Psoas Will Become Clear (an 85-minute intermediate power vinyasa designed to stretch and strengthen your hip flexors) at my new YouTube Channel, @feelitallyoga. This is a video version of the original audio - no fancy studio sound, but you'll find premium, salt-of-the-earth yoga to help whatever's bothering you. Perfect for students who enjoy my audio classes but sometimes lose track of the poses I'm calling out. More video content coming soon!

After a long hiatus, I created a very special flow for all you friends, colleagues, students or strangers who have been impacted by the culling of the federal workforce and the dissolution of USAID. Really though, it's for anyone who finds release in a strong vinyasa practice followed by some deep stretching, because we're all impacted by tectonic shifts ongoing in the U.S.

Like an iceberg, the suffering we feel is visible above the service, but for many of us there's a lot more lurking down underwater, unseen but very much present. This is a flow - with a playlist to match - to let you feel what you're feeling and find some release.

A couple of technical notes: most of the poses in this flow are quite standard. This is by design, to keep the sequence accessible (though still strong.). Possible exceptions are skandasana and hanumanasana - so feel free to check out a tutorial beforehand if that's helpful

PSA for the surfers - this is also a sick post-surf flow, given the shoulder and hip mobility work and the lack of chaturanga push ups.

Feel free to send in any questions or comments to [email protected]. Namaste!

This flow - like the previous one - has been a long time coming. Being that it was fully 9 months in the making, it went through a series of names as I put myself through the paces of how I'm feeling about living in Uganda. First I called it Heimweh - homesickness, plain and simple. Then I called it Fernweh - missing travel, or missing a place that's not your home. (Complex concept? It's probably a single word in German.) Finally, as I got more adjusted but still didn't feel like Uganda was home I called it Fernfreude, a word I made up to symbolize finding joy somewhere that is not your home.

Names aside, the physical practice starts off slow - so as not to jangle already-frayed nerves - and builds into a sweaty-but-smooth repeat flow demonstrating how a movement as simple as quarter salutations or bending one knee feels complex with a modified setup. Like every flow, it reflects where I am with life right now, and - as the names reflect - that is an ever changing sense of belonging to my current station. Thus, this flow is an exhortation to honor and appreciate the protracted challenge that comes with big life transitions. It alternates moments of intensity with active rest, to train the habit of finding openness and release even in the midst of challenge. With all this, it leans heavily on the metaphor of building strength, muscle memory, and compassion until one is forced to come to the conclusion that this moment, however challenging it may seem, is possible to love.

This one has been a LONG time in the making. It was conceived as I sunsettted after four years in Egypt, and was born in the early months of a new life in Uganda. It has been the focus of my practice for six months. Here's the idea of this flow: challenge your balance on your mat to come to terms with the norm of feeling off-balance and confronted by an ever-changing mix of emotions. Through this pracice, I've been trying to lean into all the feels while at the same time turning toward the cyclical nature of life, practicing finding balance when it's challenged, and appreciating how these cycles that we repeat help to stretch us and make us stronger. It pulls in moon salutations at the outset - here is a great tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1eF-Wl2AlU)from the wonderful Esther Ekhart if you have not done them before.

Take your time with this one and enjoy the challenge and the glory with this eponymous Spotify playlist (https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0FuX9NwvU6n93FO8tXTbRH)

This is a flow for Ukraine. Everyone is processing the horrors of Russia's war - and thoughts of what may come next - differently. I'm trying for the "feel it all" method, so sorry not sorry if this flow is a little brutal. I tried to infuse some hope too, because I do hope there's hope.

Note that it's pretty low in instruction early on to let you get straight into the flow with sun salutes on your breath.

What you have here is just voice, but it's synched to be played alongside my Apocalypse playlist on Spotify to get you deeper in your groove. (You have to have Premium for it to work out timing-wise.)

Check out this flow to put yourself right after your morning run or anytime you have the mind-body-creaky vibe going on. The flow is the same as Run and Done plus a bonus side bend for the psoas. Should hit all the right places to open up your body and mind for the day ahead.

Hey all - happy holidays, Happy New Year! I'm bringing back the podcasts with music, new and improved - what you have here is just voice, but it's synched to be played alongside this Bass Meets Bliss playlist on Spotify to get you deeper in your groove. The world being what it is, the piper must be paid, so you need to have to have Premium for it to work out timing-wise. For best results, do the musical flow after you've gotten the hang of the original voice-only flow.

Hope you enjoy-let me know what you think!

I started this as a restorative sequence to release neck pain and ended up with a practice addressing full spectrum of body-in-seat syndrome.

Here's what it does: 1. Mindfully releases the neck and shoulders from built-up tension; 2. Helps you wisen-up to habitually-held stiffness so you can recognize when it crops up and choose to release it; 3. Strengthens the whole core and back body to help you avoid hunch-asana and the tightness it begets in the first place.

Grab a block and strap and let's go!
