Dive deeper into your practice and join me for a cup of tea!

I am now teaching 8:00 am Open and 10:30 a.m. Basics on Saturdays at Jivamukti Yoga School in New York City!

This is a great opportunity to dive deeper into your practice! Warm up by taking open first, then work on specific alignment in basics right after! Basics is not just for new students! It is a great way to focus on specific poses, and move into the next level of your asana practice!

In addition to teaching these classes, I will be offering a satsang, or gathering of like-minded beings, in our vegan cafe during the time between the two classes. Students will have the opportunity to ask any questions related to the basics curriculum of that week, discuss injuries they are working with or anything else related to their practice, and this can be directly addressed in class in a practical way. Free tea will be provided by the cafe!

If you are unfamiliar with the Basics curriculum at Jivamukti, each week we focus on a different set of postures:

Week 1: Standing Poses

Week 2: Forward Bends

Week 3: Backbends

Week 4: Putting it all together, and turning it upside down

I look forward to connecting to the Jivamukti students in this way! Join me beginning this Saturday, December 6th, and each week following!

Follow up video to Cowspiracy

I have received many comments in regards to my last post, one of which I would like to share with you all. This person does not disagree with me or the creator of Cowspiracy that Animal Agriculture is indeed the largest cause of our environmental decline, but that it is not really the fault of the Environmental non-profit organizations whose job it is to protect our environment. The job of the people who were interviewed in the film is to raise money for the non-profit organization they work for, and (according to the argument being made below) they are not qualified to answer the questions being posed to them in the film. The biggest message at the end of Cowspiracy, and in the video below is that the only real answer to this is to lead a vegan lifestyle. Watch the video below and let me know your thoughts!

Help make Jivamukti History on Saturday July 12th!

Want to help make Jivamukti history? Each Saturday morning at 8 am, I teach a 1 hour set sequence class called Spiritual Warrior. The room I teach in holds about 70 people, but the most students we’ve ever had has been about 20 or so, maybe less. Let’s pack the room! How cool would it be to be part of the largest Spiritual Warrior class ever!

You would be done by 9:00 am and have the rest of your Saturday to do whatever it is you normally do! AND if you’ve never been to Jivamukti before, your class will be free! What is better than free yoga??!!

Class starts at 8:00 am sharp – get there early, especially if you’ve never been before. See you in class!

Jivamukti Yoga School, Union Square, 841 Broadway, 2nd Floor

Saturday, July 12th, 8:00 am.

Fill this room!

2013 in review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2013 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 3,000 times in 2013. If it were a cable car, it would take about 50 trips to carry that many people.
