Spaciousness is a practice
|
Spaciousness is a practice. It’s not an accident but something I choose, again and again. This week I shared an essay called How to Slow Your Flow. In it, I offer five ways to bring breath and spaciousness into the foreground—without your classes feeling empty or boring. It’s written for yoga teachers, but the ideas apply to your home practice too. Doing less is the key to cultivating a spacious relationship with our practice and our lives. Because when we choose spaciousness, we make room for sensation, for breath, and for simply being. How will you practice spaciousness today? Until next Sunday, PS: If you’re a yoga teacher feeling overwhelmed by content creation, join me Wednesday for a free class: AI for Yoga Teachers: Create Content Without Burnout. |

Dear Restorative Yoga Teacher: “I teach yoga” is true—but incomplete. Can you explain your teaching in a single sentence that’s clear, specific, and meaningful to the people you serve? If you give me five minutes, I’ll teach you a simple framework to do exactly that. Watch the video to learn a concise formula, hear five grounded examples, and see one common pitfall to avoid. Because clarity isn’t about oversimplifying, it’s about communication that resonates. And if you want to learn more...
Photo by Dani Chair yoga isn’t real yoga. So if you’re aging, injured, pregnant, recovering, exhausted, or human, you shouldn’t even try to do yoga. Especially not using a chair. Because that’s basically cheating. And everybody knows there’s no benefit to yoga unless you can put your perfect body into perfect shapes. 😂 Don’t agree? Join us this Sunday, July 6th for Graceful Aging: Chair Yoga for Strength and Stability with brilliant yoga therapist Mary Richards. In this online class you’ll:...
