Yoga is really a perpetual journey inward. But the outward view today was pretty epic. Grateful to be teaching in this city and in these spaces. Take in the view, take your ability to take a wider view, not for granted.

The longer I live, the more deeply I understand that the only constant in life, in the whole universe, is change.⁣
⁣
Life is a little like the shoreline, constantly changing and evolving, sometimes slowly with great subtlety and sometimes quite rapidly and dramatically. ⁣
⁣
The yoga teachings are so powerful because they help us navigate all the change, self-imposed or imposed on us, - if all goes well - with open eyes, open heart, with grace and ease. ⁣
⁣
So as I find myself in my own moment of change, I am thinking about and feeling as best I can, all the wisdom that’s been shared with me about navigating change, endings and new beginnings, with gratitude and openness to simply what is. ⁣
⁣
As for me, life finds me leaving the SF Bay Area in a couple of weeks and moving to New York. This place has been home to me for parts of four decades of my life and has been the place I fell in love with yoga, and to say I’ll miss teaching and practicing here, would be the grandest of understatements. And I’m really excited about a new adventure and challenge that comes with living somewhere new. ⁣
⁣
I’m grateful for all of my teachers, students, supporters, so many who have become lifelong friends. I know this new change isn’t permanent like anything else, and I hope to keep seeing you somewhere in this practice along the way. ⁣
⁣
My last classes in SF, at least for now, are this week: Friday 9:30a at Love Story, Friday Noon at Haum, and Sunday 9a Equinox Union. ⁣
⁣
Much love.

Happy 5th Anniversary to Love Story Yoga! 🔻This place has been a home, a laboratory, a sanctuary for so many, myself included, over these last few years. I still remember that first class, the first day, and that energy has only continued to grow. It’s been a place I’ve done some of my deepest learning about the yoga tradition and about myself, as a student and as a teacher in this space. I’m grateful to be a part of this community, and thinking about so many who have rolled out a mat on these floors - all with a unique story to tell and a journey they are on. Deep bows to my teachers who make this place and so much learning possible, and have kept it a place of love during the last few crazy years, despite some very tough odds. ❤️ .yoga

New Years resolutions don’t work for many of us. A resolution is a goal, a hope. An intention is a standard. A hope is something where you almost take yourself out of the equation. But the standard is something you hold yourself to, in how you act and in what you pay attention to. And it’s never too late to set the right ones for yourself. ⁣
⁣
The end of one year and the beginning of the next is for most people a natural time of reflection and intention-setting. But it’s kind of arbitrary too. It’s just as good a day as any to take stock - to pay attention - to what’s working and what you want to let go of, what you want to add more of in your life, your career, your relationships. ⁣
⁣
Too often resolutions don’t work because we name them because we feel like we’ve always done it or others do it - but they don’t often work because our very own resolutions are not rooted in ourselves - they are just a hope, and often lofty and not rooted in the small actions we take, in the in moment-to-moment choices we make. Hope isn’t bad, at all. But a standard - an intention - is more personal, far more powerful, and you can always pay attention to how it’s working for you. ⁣
⁣
So as the sun comes up on the last day of this year, just like it will tomorrow and the day after and the day after that one, what intention might you set for 2022 ? How might you show up in the moment-to-moment choices you make?

Anyone spend time in 2021 chasing waterfalls? Literally or figuratively? Anyone? 🙋‍♂️ ⁣
⁣
Reflecting on the last year, I’m seeing how much time and energy I spent chasing, following, pursuing people, places, jobs, things. In real life, in my head, and right here on this very platform. Maybe it was a reaction to making the most of my life and time after 2020, that great pause in so many of our lives. Maybe it was something else. 🤷‍♂️ ⁣
⁣
But what I’m seeing now is how that continual pursuit is really rooted in a mindset if scarcity. It’s, in a sense, trying to force something - into being, into an understanding that conforms with my minute worldview, into a connection that isn’t really real, or isn’t worth being real. It’s centering myself in a story in which I’m really just a small player, if one at all. What I’m also realizing with some reflecting is that I already have an abundance of connection and good people who support me and have over many years, many ups and downs….and I got to spend so much of my life this year with them. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 ⁣
⁣
So while I’m not a huge fan of New Years resolutions, I do like setting an intention. A resolution or a goal is a hope. An intention is a standard. ✍️⁣
⁣
For 2022 I’m wanting to hold myself to a standard not of splaying my energy and attention so widely, and instead directing it toward real connection, toward knowing, finding and following my purpose, and living in integrity. That means listening to the voice inside even as life happens around me. And it means being with and supporting those who support me, whether they are my family, chosen family, longtime friends or new connections. ⁣
⁣
🏞Less chasing waterfalls, more presence with what and who I have… watching it, appreciating it, without it needing to be more or different… less forcing and more flowing with what is. ⁣
⁣
💙 What intentions are you setting for 2022?

HEAT. It’s been really hot here in San Francisco the last few days, so naturally many head to the cooler parts of the city and the cold water of the beach. But it has me thinking about embracing the heat too.

Heat and fire (agni) are core parts of the yoga practice - it’s transformative, helps to burn off what doesn’t serve and soften, mold, cleanse what does serve. The heat we generate is often the burning off of the excess energy that we hold onto, the vestige of our fight or flight instincts. It’s why when we work our hips and open our hearts and chest in yoga we tend to sweat. Embrace it, throw everything, especially your preconceived ideas and likes / dislikes, into the fire of practice, and then see what emerges.

Too often we shy away from heat and fire, or we think we only get a workout if we do it in a hot room. But the real fire comes from within and we have the power to stoke it, direct it, change it, and let it brighten up your insides. The outer you will get strong, toned and glisten, but it’s the inside that shines if you let it.

Grateful for the lenses and senses of
