Hi members! This video is the pilot for an upcoming chair yoga series 🪑 for which I’d love your feedback. It's a feel-good sequence that I plan to re-film once I iron out the wrinkles.

Watch it here

As you know, I usually film sequences in various sloth-like positions on the floor – which is why it feels like a new logistical feat to make an upright video like this!

Specifically I’d love you to share on these questions:

– How does this sequence feel in your body?
– Is the sequence easy to follow?  Did you have any challenges following along?
– How is the overall look and feel of this video - what did you like, and what could be better aesthetically next time?

Thanks for helping me out - it’s a work in progress, and your input will help me make a better final video. 🧡🧡

I was listening to an overview of the history, theory and practice of Tantra.  I was sitting cross legged and was performing various Yin moves for neck, shoulders and breath.  When the chapter ended a total body energetic rush moved up my torso.  That is when the warmth surrounded my spine.  It then encompassed my shoulder, neck and upper back.  There was an ease in my scapula.  It was as thought it was targeting my old injury for healing.

September always feels like a fresh start after summer. What’s an intention or focus you’re bringing with you into this new month?

September renewal: daily yoga, live classes, and new goodies in the membership ✨

Happy September! This month's yoga calendar offers a chance to recharge and start as the season turns.

It's a special month for me because I’m celebrating five years teaching online after a wonderful 20 years running my in-person community yoga studio that focused on yin and restorative yoga.

Since then this heart-full online community has grown to 450 at-home practitioners, and I’ve designed over 250 video practices – all focused on relaxation, flexibility and self care.

Before now, the members' yoga calendar offered just three classes each week – but after five years, the class catalog can finally support a calendar with yoga classes every day of the week (without too many re-runs). This is something I've been dreaming of doing since the beginning, and it's finally happening – a beautiful schedule of daily classes on the September 2025 yoga calendar, starting Monday 9/1.

The daily calendar is a curated collection of member favorites, upcoming new videos, and livestream classes.

And I get it – you’re busy and may not practice that often. This daily calendar doesn’t mean you’re expected to practice every day – instead, it's a guide to help take the guesswork out of your practice whenever you log on. 

Part of this Autumn expansion is a new Somatic Yoga Foundations series where you'll learn the gentle, integrative approach of somatic yoga. Join me live on Tuesdays starting September 9th for 30 minutes of slow stretches, breathwork, yin and restorative poses – all designed to release tension and calm the nervous system. Classes will be recorded to view anytime later.

Last but not least, you're invited to join our community practice at this Tuesday's Yin Hour on Zoom. I'm really excited about the new Zoom integration with our member platform, because we'll get to practice together and connect with each other. This time, we'll do a 40-min guided yin practice followed by 20 minutes for Yin Yogi Q&A and Discussion.

What are your practice goals this fall? This friendly and growing yoga community is here to support you.

I'm wondering if you'd ever do a short class/course on basic yin yoga. Though I practice it now and have in the past (mostly called restorative yoga - is it the same?), what are the basic tenets behind it? What exactly is "facia" (without me Googling it!) and why is it important to stretch. Where exactly is my sacrum? Maybe you can recommend a resource too. I am probably not the only one wanting to dig deeper into this wonderful practice!
