If you have the opportunity, I highly recommend seeing the new film about Mary Oliver: Saved by the World. Beautiful! Here in Birmingham, it's at Sidewalk Film for three more screenings tonight (Sept 10).

And, in the meantime, may we all hear the singing of the divine within.

My YouTube channel (Frannie James Chair Yoga) includes several "reset" practices, which is how I've labeled the 10-minute (ish) practices I've shared. These are intended to help you be able to practice daily - at home, at work, at the airport...

This 10-minute Chair Yoga practice helps you get circulation to all...

I'm reviewing some materials ahead of starting my 300-hr RYT in November with Subtle Yoga with Kristine Weber. I love this slide and its illustration of a yoga paradigm shifting from imperialism & colonialism to pluralism.

Seems especially appropriate as I continue to be confronted by the fact of my former association with disgraced yoga teacher Taylor Hunt who very much pushed the idea of using the mind to subdue the body - of dominating & controlling the body instead of listening to & befriending it.

I am so grateful to have shifted my personal practice and my teaching into this emerging paradigm.
