It’s Day 20 since I committed to becoming an “expert yogi”. 🧘🏼‍♀️
It doesn’t have to be yoga. What are you challenging yourself to grow at currently?

Typing this, I realize I’m much further in my journey than just 20 days. I am locked in. As you can see, I fell out of poses, and landed a sticky flow today. I’m still doing it. I’m proving to myself that every body is a yoga body. Just because I don’t see myself represented in the yoga community doesn’t mean I can’t be a part of it, and learn and grow, and love it. I hope I can be that for somebody else.

I’ve got a 24 day @onepeloton @pelotonstudios streak going.
Im on a 94 week streak 🤯 since I started doing a 20 min slow-flow yoga at night before bed.

There have been plenty of missed days, never a full week where I haven’t picked up and kept going.

It started as a moment to ground myself, reconnect with myself, and my wife at night, and help me sleep, as well as stretch after a day of snowboarding.
It became I practice I looked forward to every single night.
20 minutes of slow flow yoga was the goal.

I can’t tell you how many 15 minute @rossrayburnyoga classes I’ve done at this point. 😅 (There’s only one, but it really hits every area and if it’s late. Or Im tired, this was what it became that day. Not for nothing @peloton but I’d love a couple of updated 15 min slow flows to run through lol).

@chelsealovesyoga has easily become my favorite instructor. Her breathwork incorporation, body rolls, and gospel flows have become some of my favorite rituals and classes.

After I completed every single 20 min slow flow in the catalogue, I repeated classes. I started doing evening flows.

And now— I’m doing a 30 minute practice every day.
At minimum.

Im challenging myself because I want to FLOW. I’m doing lots of intermediate classes, and have added power flows to the rotation even when I don’t feel ready.

Today: @diti22 taught us how to practice *flow* (though mine is more a jump currently) forward from a downward dog to an easy pose like @zacharias and @kirramichel . And I kind of got it! As well as a transition to mountain pose. 🙌🏼

Forty years ago I saw Les Misérables with my mum, up in the rafters of the Palace Theatre. Even as a twelve-year-old my knees were pressed against the person in front of me. Good old London theatre! It didn’t matter at all, because I was completely swept up in this epic thing unfolding in front of me — unlike anything I had ever seen. The sweep, the scale, the deeply felt melody, the emotion, the connection. Patti LuPone was a young rising star then, and Frances Ruffelle, who I’d seen in Starlight Express a year or two before, is still to this day the most singular Éponine — that strange raspy voice so full of heartbreak that my pure little twelve-year-old heart genuinely wondered if that’s what it might actually feel like. Most indelibly though, it’s a treasured memory of my mum. We had dinner at TGI Friday’s afterwards which, trust me, for my little English tummy was a big deal back then, one of very few real American restaurants in London.Last night Ross and I had a date night at Radio City to see the 40th anniversary concert, and I cried so much. The performances were wonderful and I was surprised at how something so big, so overblown, could at the same time be so moving and intimate and truly connective. As we were leaving, I made a point of looking into the eyes of the people still looking back at the stage, full of love for these characters, this story, these performers, fellow humans. Yes, there was the technology, the lights, the spectacle, the screens, the sound design — but oh, the talent. A big takeaway was a reminder of how the power of theater is a reminder of how are dependent upon each other, that collective experience is irreplaceable. Mum you would have loved it! We certainly did. Thank you @lesmizus and @cammackltd

Being apart for the first time was tough, sometimes 2-3 months! That pushed us to find time together. Amazing to finally have a break after working since I was 12! #TheClipOut #PodcastLife #WorkLifeBalance #Milan #Italy #TravelAdventures #LifeBreak #Episode472

Turns out, tilting your head to be compassionate might actually be hurting you! 🤯 Found a simple breath trick in Italy to fix shoulder pain and create symmetry.

🎙️ I am honored to share my podcast with the amazing @rossrayburnyoga !

🙌🏼 We have a heartfelt conversation on how he first found yoga, and how his philosophy on yoga, meditation and the meaning of self has evolved.

💥 Many know Ross from his years at Peloton, where he offered expertly taught and beautifully themed classes. He talks to me about what it was like teaching for Peloton, and why he stepped away from what many teachers would consider a “dream job.”

💥 Since moving on from Peloton, he’s moved back into the role of independent teacher. After nearly 30 years of teaching, Ross is reframing what the practice is and where he finds meaning.

💯 Ross is also just one hell of a nice guy! He’s a strong, male figure who is authentic and intelligent with his teaching. He’s someone I admire and consider a leader in the yoga, health and wellness space.

👇🏼 Comment “pod” below and I will send you the link to my podcast with Ross!

This has been the most challenging school year for me. I thought to give my mind a breather and to close my school year out peacefully, I could ground myself and start each morning with yoga ✨ 7 days down, 14 more to go 🫶🏻

come find me and my dogs on the mat 👀
