POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Another hotel room floor.
Before I’ve even had a shower.
I’m picking up my direct line to God...

The word ‘spirit’ comes from the Latin ‘spiritus.’

It means “to breathe”.

In Sanskrit we call it ‘PRANA’. The life force moving through you with every breath you take.

So every time you breathe, you’re touching spirit.
God moving in you.
Your breath is literally the life force keeping you alive.

That’s your direct connection to God.

And the more you pick up the line, the stronger the connection gets.
The clearer you receive the messages.
The more certain you are about your path.

You don’t need a temple or a church.
You don’t need fancy clothes or even a yoga mat.

This is yours to discover.
Whether on a layover, in a dingy hotel room, or sitting in comfort of your home…

You just need to know how to tune in.

Ancient Breathing 2.0 is open now and you can start practising today.

Live classes begin this Sunday, October 18th, so this is the last week to join and be there with us live for the first class.

You came to yoga for transformation.
So why does your practice look exactly like a workout?

More strength, more flexibility, one more posture to master...
And the part that actually changes you, your breath and your energy body, gets five minutes at the end.
If that.
A strong body is a beautiful thing.
It just won’t transform you on its own.

If you’re ready to practise the part that does, Ancient Breathing 2.0 is open now and live classes start October 18th.

It’s been about a year since I last practised a drop back, and coming back to it this morning felt like meeting my body all over again...

New sensations.
A different kind of fear.
The breath is what brings me back every single time.

That’s what I love about starting over.

When we feel something new in the body, we get to learn something new.

Anytime you return to your breath, your mind and body have the opportunity to meet.

It’s never too late to start again.

Ancient Breathing 2.0 is open now and you can begin practising today!

Live classes start on October 18th.

So many of us were taught to treat the body like a tool... something to push,
fix and get more out of,
and then we wonder why it stops cooperating.

This week on Finding Harmony Podcast @findingharmonypodcast our guest Lori James talks about Somatic Experiencing.

Learn what becomes possible when you stop trying to dominate your body and start listening to it.

What happens when you bring embodiment and intention into the way you live inside yourself?

The body changes when it feels safe enough to.

New episode is out now 🎧
Go Listen.
Find Harmony.

First thing this morning, still in my pyjamas, on the floor of a tiny Airbnb room with barely enough space for a mat...

And it doesn’t matter, because the room outside doesn’t matter when your focus is inside.

A few minutes of pranayama and I feel at home in my body.
My energy comes back to me, and I feel connected again — before the day has demanded my attention.

You don’t need a lot of external space to create inner connection.

You just need to come back to your breath.

Ancient Breathing 2.0 is open now, so you can start today and be ready when our live classes begin October 18th.

Comment BREATHE and I’ll send you everything you need to learn how to do this for yourself. 🧚🏻

I sat down with my old friends from Mysore, Harmony Slater and Russell Case, on the Finding Harmony Podcast.

When I was seventeen, my brother took his life by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. I didn't let myself feel that grief for decades. I achieved my way around it instead.

That's what The Performance Trap is about. Very early, we learn that to belong, we need to be different from who we actually are. So we develop our own forms of performance, whether it's achievement, being the one everyone can lean on, or being stoic. It keeps us connected. And underneath, we override an ache.

My Ashtanga practice just happened to be one of the places I did it. In our conversation, we talk about how something with amazing potential can also become a place to hide, until the body says no. Mine did at 50.

Where do you perform to keep your place?

The Performance Trap: The Ache No Success Will Ever Fix is out now. Link in bio.

Day 8 of 100 Days of Embodiment

Sitting on the airport floor before my red-eye to Philadelphia tonight, and I know exactly how this goes if I don’t take care of myself first... the broken sleep, the dry air, landing in the early morning and walking into a room of people who’ve come to learn from me when my body hasn’t caught up yet.

So before I board, I drop in.
A few rounds of pranayama, right here on the floor.

The breath is the one practice I can take anywhere, at any hour, without a mat or a quiet room, and it’s what lets me land feeling like myself, with my energy still my own.

If you’re the one who gives everything to the people in front of you and then wonders why there’s nothing left by the time you get home, this is where I’d start.

You don’t have to wait for the perfect conditions to feel good in your body.

I love the practices and the ceremonies, I really do, but if they aren’t changing the way you live your life, they aren’t adding much value.

In this conversation with my dear friend Chad Herst, who Russell and I first met in Mysore twenty years ago, we got into what spiritual practice is actually for.

For me the real measure has never been what happens in the practice or the ceremony itself. It’s what happens after, when you carry what you saw back into an ordinary life, into your relationships, into the way you speak to yourself, into whether your heart is becoming more compassionate and more able to include.

So I’ll ask you what I ask myself… is your practice changing your life?

Day 7 of 100 Days of Embodiment
If you want to embody your dream life, you have to envision it first. Then write it down.

Research has shown that people who write down their goals are 42% more likely to achieve them.

This is a daily and weekly practice for me.

Writing down my goals and dreams is how they start to leave my head and come into the world, and into my body.

✨What’s one dream you haven’t written down yet?

Take out your notebook and do it today.

Follow along for all 100 days. 📝

Samadhi is the essence of union, the essence of yoga.
It’s the whole reason we practise any of the other limbs… to enter into a state that is beyond the mind, beyond the self, beyond the ego, beyond your personality, and jump into the ocean and dissolve and become the ocean. 🌊

The word comes from root “sam”, meaning “together” or “complete” and the root “dhi”, meaning “to place” or “to hold” (the mind).
👉🏽 Holding the mind together, until the one meditating, the meditation and what you’re focusing on all become one. 🧘🏼‍♀️

It’s the last of the eight limbs, and yet it’s the doorway into the inner path of yoga.

So how do I live that day to day?
My morning pranayama and meditation sessions let things drop away so that there’s only listening.

And during the day I practise elemental embodiment, which is another way of listening, to my body, beyond my thoughts, and tuning into what’s present — to the sensations and inner guide.

I’m passing the relay to @drjcats @meghanmarshallmysore and @sarahcrake.
💃🏼 Choose your favourite limb and share why it resonates with you. ✨

🧚🏻The video of me in slide2 says:
“There is no ego, there is no personality, there is no you.
There is only pure consciousness, pure awareness.”
✨This is the essence of Samadhi.✨

Day 5 of 100 — Addiction helps us escape.
Whether it’s the glass of wine or staying so busy we never have to stop and feel anything, for a little while it works, until it doesn’t, because the thing we’re really trying to get away from is ourselves, and that’s the one place we can never leave.

This is what I witness on the table, again and again.
The body holding everything we’ve been running from, patiently, until it feels safe enough to let it move.

You don’t have to talk your way out of it.
The body gets to come home to itself.

This is the most profound work I know, and the most profound work I’ve ever experienced and been able to offer.

What would it feel like to stop running from yourself?

If this is calling you, the link to book a session is in my bio. Remember what it feels like to come back home.
