;

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.

Tapas: Accepting pain as help for purification. ⠀
It is a step to practice yoga and can also minimize many obstacles. ⠀
(Patanjali`s Yoga Sutras, 2:1)⠀
⠀
I am teaching Philosophy for the @centerforyogala 50-Hour Deepen Your Practice Teacher Training Module. We covered the first verse in Chapter 2 and really explored the concept of Tapas.⠀
⠀
Tapas was often tossed as the excuse to turn up the heat in a yoga room to make you sweat. People translated the word to mean "heat." This is incorrect. ⠀
⠀
Tapas actually refers to an inner shining that one receives when one has been rubbed so much (by difficulty, by dedicated practice, by anything that smooths away the ego,) that we shine. One radiates as a result of the passionate dedication to focused goal. ⠀
⠀
This sutra is not inviting you to accept hard-core pain in a yoga pose or to allow people to hurt you. Replace the word pain with discomfort. ⠀
⠀
How many times were you uncomfortable this past week? What did you do when you were uncomfortable? Most of us ran away from the discomfort or sought a remedy to take us out of our misery. Most humans have a hard time being in discomfort of any sort – physical, relationship, financial, work or any other aspect of life. ⠀
⠀
If we are always running away from discomfort it weakens us. Our happiness is dependent only on things going our way. Discomfort brings opportunities for growth if we can remain still enough to see them. ⠀
⠀
As the holiday season begins there will likely be a few uncomfortable, even painful moments. Consider remaining steady and soft and let them flow through. Reacting to discomfort often creates more discomfort and pain. Remain porous, listen, react less and let the experience flow, without holding on or resisting. The more we do this, we purify our inner resolve and become fearless. This is how we shine. ⠀

Yesterday I taught a Vata-reducing practice on the Tantra Flow Yoga livestream channel. We did lots of Apana Vayu breathing in all kinds of postures, even poses that didn`t seem to support downward movement. ⠀
⠀
Everything lead to a methodological sequence from Setu Bandha to Sarvangasana with lots of options for all body types. ⠀
⠀
Sarvangasana to help reduce the air and ether qualities of Vata? ⠀
⠀
I know. It does seem to be crazy, but go with me on this. When we are upside down, the digestive and eliminative organs, which get stuck and struggle to function when Vata is high, are upside down. They are massaged so it`s easier to move anything stuck in the intestines or colon. ⠀
⠀
The diaphragm, which strengthens upon inhalation, moving it downwards to lovingly rub those inner organs, is now upside down. It gets extra strengthening going against gravity. The function of respiration expands to twice the capacity, your breath is amazing when you come back down. This calms the nervous system.⠀
⠀
We also rooted into the earth with the arms and upper shoulders, which strengthens the upper body, improving respiration and your posture. This leads to confidence and inner strength.⠀
⠀
Students shared that they really liked the class. You can take it at your convenience and I promise benefits even if you don`t go as far as the image. The more you can expand your breathing and move that awareness further downward, the safer you will feel in your skin. ⠀

Hello Yogis! It`s a new week with new possibilities. Today is also a Full Moon so please take care of yourself, stay low to the ground and move with a sense of steadiness. Full Moons tend to add intensity to our energy and actions.⠀
⠀
This week we are going to see Inversions, with a grounded approach. As the Vata season has begun in the Western Hemisphere, we need to weave in more grounding, slower and more focused movements, and to slow the breath. This approach CAN be applied to inversions for when done properly, they can calm the nervous system.⠀
⠀
Come see me live in person at Center for Yoga, or livestream and on demand online. Lots of juicy play this week.⠀

Happy Thanksgiving Week to Everyone, even if you don`t live in the U.S! I am teaching my full schedule this week, come practice with me in any way that works for you. ⠀
⠀
Our Theme for the Week: Twisting to Digest. Twists are fabulous for clearing out the organs for purification. They also strengthen the tiny muscles on both sides of the spine to strengthen the whole back. And, they can feel really great! ⠀
⠀
Just remember, we are entering Pie Season. This is the time when the indulgence of "pie" (anything that you enjoy indulging) may take place more than once. Be kind to yourself. You don`t need to do yoga to punish yourself or get rid of what you consumed. Consider doing your practice because, in addition to all kinds of wonderful benefits, it helps you process the pie so that there is room for more. Pie Season comes once a year. Enjoy it.⠀
