We had the best time today, practicing a little yoga with rescued greyhounds. It was mostly ooohing, aaaahing, getting kisses and pets, and getting into the greyhound zen vibe. We were so happy to raise awareness and money for @greyhoundoptions , an amazing non profit organization who fosters and find homes for retired racing greyhounds. Thank you so much for all you do!! We can’t wait to do it again! 🙏🏼❤️#greyhoundoptions #inmansquare #inmansquarecambridge #camberville taken in The Embody School by @theembodyschool

Every time I run a soundbath, it’s different. My collaborator is different. The people are different and our combined energy is different, and it’s always beautiful. Thank you to Malaika @ms.bonafidecreations for a wonderful healing session and to @boston.garden for sponsoring our event. A magical evening was had by all. Om Shanti. 🙏🏼

If you have chronic tension that regular stretching doesn’t seem to resolve, this is your sign. TRE is not just for trauma. It’s for chronic stress and tension that can become chronic pain over time. As a person with myofascial pain syndrome, this has been my game changer. Join me this Saturday. Link in bio!

I’ve always said that I would never participate in any yoga involving animals unless it was an adoption event or fundraiser. I don’t believe in using animals for entertainment. That’s why I’ve adopted 2 greyhounds in the last 15 years. Betting money on dogs in a race is just yucky. Greyhounds deserve a comfy home and loving family. And as a dog sitter, they are the BEST breed (imo). They’re gentle and sweet, and experts at yoga! If you’ve ever considered adopting, come to our special class and practice yoga with a sweet greyhound checking in on you and showering you with sweetness. 100% of the proceeds will go to Greyhound Options, a wonderful organization who introduced me to my current greyhound, Leela! Spots are limited to 10 so get your registration in early! 🥰

I often advise my students not to pay attention to advanced poses and to never make them the goal of their practice. I’ve never made it a goal because as an artist, a part of me think the process is always the best part.

And to be honest, I’m probably also projecting. My body has been so tight, inflexible (and now dealing with cervical and lumbar disc degeneration) that even after 30 years, I still feel like I’ll never get there.

So I just keep practicing. My favorite way to practice is sloooowly and gently.

And yet, at 56, I’m stronger than I’ve ever been! Why? Erich Shiffmann, my favorite yoga teacher, said “Keep it simple, but do it a lot.” My personal practice focuses on the therapeutic side of asana, targeting smaller muscle groups to support my spine.

The other day, a young teacher I was talking to about challenging poses mentioned this pose, 8 angle pose. I told her I’ve never tried it because I had no desire to and most likely couldn’t do it since I only practice gentle yoga…but then I thought, “hmmm…but then again, why not try it for funzies?” 😂

So I asked her to teach me.

And this is what happened.

It didn’t feel easy but I was VERY surprised, delightfully so! It was nice to see how a consistent practice can result in doing things we never expected to do. I allowed myself to feel proud and empowered, while also recognizing that part of myself that warns against ego gratification or performative actions. It’s okay to have both!

And this. This is why we practice. Self examination leads to self realization, eventually. Yoga gives us the opportunity to do this in various ways if we’re open to seeing it.

So yeah, I did this pose. It was hard but also fun. And I most likely will not make it part of my regular practice but I’m glad I tried it. 😉

If this resonates with you, please share in the comments! I’d love to hear your story. 🙏🏼
