Deepen your yoga practice & connect

Practice with Jeanne

Let’s bring
deep respect & fun to your practice

Welcome. Come on in. I am so happy to have you here.

If you are looking for advanced teacher trainings that take you beyond the layer of asana, this space is for you. If you are looking to dive deeper into a specific philosophical topic or a nuanced aspect of practice, this space is for you. If you are looking for fun asana classes that weave in subtle aspects of the ancient yoga practice, this space is for you. Together, we will explore the world of yoga while also living in this physical world, using the joys and challenges as opportunities to grow and evolve.

As the Los Angeles-based founder of Tantra Flow Yoga™, a mentor, training and workshop facilitator, and global educator, I bring this knowledge to you, sprinkling joy and humor through the process.

I’m honored to be practicing and teaching on this long path and excited to share the wisdom gained from my many teachers with you.

The most important thing that we need to strengthe

The most important thing that we need to strengthen in our yoga practice is.....

... it's not abdominals.....

...... it's not the diaphragm (and you know how passionate I am about that muscle)...

...... it's not the heart....

..... it's not your bones.....

It's your MIND.

Life can throw us every day, many times throughout the day. It throws us if our mind is not strong. If we practice focusing only on the body, then it is easy for someone else to upset us. This is a sign that we are not very strong. When our mind is strong, then even the most annoying of people and circumstances don't throw us.

There are many techniques for addressing the mind while also enjoying movement with the body. I will be weaving some into my classes in the next few weeks. The goal of our yoga and meditation practices is not to succeed at something when we are on the mat and cushion. The practices reveal their "success" when we can maintain a sense of equilibrium while things get challenging.

I'm not shaming or blaming. I'm just as guilty in the struggle. It's OK. Just get back onto the mat and cushion. Mastering the mind is an extreme advanced path of fire. And, it's also doable.

Sometimes I don't know what to do in my practice s

Sometimes I don't know what to do in my practice so I just get on my mat and listen. Every time, Wisdom guides me from one pose to the next and creative insights arise.

Sometimes I don't know what to teach; I'm tapped out or have too many ideas and don't know which way to go. Every time, I just start the class with one step, and then the next, and the class unfolds itself.

This yoga is not just a science, it's an art. It comes from practice and returns to practice. We just show up, if we are in the mood or not, and we surrender to the practice to take us closer to Truth.

I have no cute or wise words today. And that's OK. But I will be offering sincere practices. Come join me, we don't always have to say a lot. Let's allow the yoga to do the talking.

I had noooooooo idea, when I first became a yoga t

I had noooooooo idea, when I first became a yoga teacher, back in the mid-90’s, that sooooo much of my time would be spent. - not teaching and not practicing. - but on administration. Sooooo many hours using the laptop, ipad , and cell phone (not even for talking w my voice!) I left the arts management world because it became too much, I was drowning in workaholism and it wasn’t the fit for my soul. Who knew that the fit for my soul, the world of yoga and inner growth, would unfold similar to all other businesses. I’ve had to draw boundaries. No email after a specific time of the day. Stop work and make food, even if I’m not hungry so that I eat at a reasonable time. Go to bed at a decent hour, even if there is more to do. (This is not always honored.) Work is a four-letter word. So is play. I try to weave play into all that I do, and try to stay upbeat through the challenges. And when that is difficult, having a cat as your co-worker helps a lot. 💛
Happy Basant Panchami, a day devoted to Saraswati and the color yellow, to you! See @induaroraofficial ‘ post for more on the holiday. May you enjoy the wisdom aspect of anything you do through books, technology, study and knowledge. May your work find some play. #work #play #attitudematters #texhnologythesedays #basantpanchami #saraswati #yellow #wisdom #knowledge #itsaninsidejob #thereismoretoyogathanasana #thisisthemore #frankiethehandsomecat

When we talk about Mantra, yogis can get confused

When we talk about Mantra, yogis can get confused because there are so many of them circulating in the world. Which one to choose? My friend has a secret one from his teacher, how can I get a cool one like that? Which one will remove cellulite, balance my bank account, and make me famous? (ha!) Which one is the best one?...⠀
⠀
OM is the answer to all of the questions and more. ⠀
⠀
Did you know that all of the secret, sexy mantras that exist in the world become OM when done over and over and over? All mantras eventually unfold into the sound of OM. So, if your friend is doing a "cool, secret" mantra and makes themself sound better than you - simply smile and know that working with OM is essentially also doing your friend's mantra.⠀
⠀
Patanjali's Yoga Sutras describe a Supreme, Superior Consciousness called Ishwara. You can connect this to God, to Divinity, to Nature, whatever works for you. It is translated between the lines that OM is the sound we use to connect to that energy. The sutras also state that when we repeat it often, it becomes an aid. ⠀
⠀
OM is helpful. When we put our energy on the sound and vibration of this mantra, it takes us to Ishwarapranidhananda, the surrendering of ourselves to something bigger than us. We surrender our struggle and ask for help. We surrender our attachments to results and listen for other ideas. We surrender our ego and point of view to open our heart.⠀
⠀
Consider weaving OM into your asana and meditation practice. We will be working with this mantra and on clearing obstacles in Thursday's Thirty Minute Meditation. Come join us if you like....⠀

This week has me teaching my full schedule, plus some guest teaching for teacher trainings. I'm still cultivating the theme and intentions of what we will be doing. Just know that there will be some laughter, some joy, and some lightness in the heart. We go deep to clear out the gunk that gets in our way. Lightness and new perspectives result. This yoga is a good thing.⠀
