I never wanted to be a YouTube yoga teacher. But..

I never wanted to be a YouTube yoga teacher. But...

You can now find my Restorative Yoga classes on YouTube!

Here's why:

I just finished teaching a 50-hour Restorative Yoga Teacher Training.

As a requirement for graduation, the teachers had to take an online Restorative Yoga class and assess the class based on what they had learned in the training.

The biggest challenge for these participants?

They couldn't find any classes on YouTube that were actually Restorative Yoga!

When you search YouTube for "Restorative Yoga", the most popular video is 35 minutes of gentle yoga stretching. It has 388,000 views! That means 388,000+ viewers are confused about what Restorative Yoga is.

Look, most yoga practices are restorative. (Note the lower case r there.) But not all yoga is Restorative Yoga. (See that upper case R, upper case Y?)

It's confusing. But it's not that confusing.

The short of all of this is to tell you:

My recorded Restorative Yoga classes are now on YouTube.
For free.
For the masses.
And there are more on the way!

Here's where I need your help:

Pretty please subscribe to my YouTube channel.

Right now the URL of my channel is some weird jumble of letters and I need 100 subscribers to change it.

You can find the link in my bio to subscribe. And THANK YOU!

Are you making things harder than they need to be?

Are you making things harder than they need to be?

Hatha Yoga is a practice of discipline. The Haṭha Yoga Pradīpikā describes intense techniques and practices to cleanse the body and wrangle the mind into focused submission.

The Sansrkit word hatha, while sometimes translated as the metaphoric joining of sun and moon, literally means a blow, a force, a strike, killing or slaughter.

Wow.

Nothing easy about that, right?

No wonder it feels nicer to describe hatha as the joining of the solar and lunar energies!

I’ve spent the past several months participating in an advanced teacher training program with the venerable Cyndi Lee.

She continues to remind us that we can honor the practices and alignment of Hatha Yoga while we walk the Buddhist middle path. Cyndi says all the time: “Not too tight. Not too loose.”

I’m regularly too tight.

Overly structured.

Rigid.

Mired in details.

Excessively planned.

I take the definition of hatha a little too literally. I regularly make things too hard.

Restorative Yoga is such a huge part of what I practice and teach for this exact reason. It’s an entire discipline devoted to attentive comfort and rest. Pay closer attention and work less is the motto.

Does that sound like something you need? Grab your props and join me Sunday, April 18 at 3:30 PM ET for a live-streaming Restorative Yoga class.

But you don’t have to lie around on a bunch of props to find more ease.

I’m leading a series of classes over the next few weeks on one of the sophisticated and poetic ways yoga explains how energy moves in our bodies. The five vayu (literally wind) give us a template for how to cultivate different energetic movements. We can use this guidance to get what we need without overworking.

Join an upcoming live-streaming class or subscribe to my on-demand classes and see for yourself.

I'll meet you on the mat.

This amazing studio prioritizes inclusion, diversity and community. We are a “come as you are” studio that offers classes for all ages, shapes and sizes. We believe that yoga is a way to help us feel better. When we feel better in our bodies, we’re able to start to calm our mind. When we’re able to calm our minds, we can connect with our spirit. When we put all these aspects together, we empower ourselves to make changes in our lives – and the world.

I teach Hatha Yoga online Wendesdays 6-7 pm and I'd love for you to join me!
