This talk emerges from my lifelong inquiry into what it means to live skillfully - or even just survive with sanity intact - in this epochal moment when old stories are fading but  a new story has yet emerge.

As a yoga teacher and yoga therapist for almost 20 years, I have witnessed the somatic impact of smart phones and the reality distortion field of social media.  It’s not pretty. The kids and adults are not ok. Yoga studios have become urgent care centers for tech-addled, info-gorged nervous systems.  It is high time that we started to consciously consider how we want to relate to the god-like powers these devices offer.  Somatic practices like yoga can make room for remembering what really matters in a human life.
