New in the App: Streaks & Badges!

I’m excited to share two new features we’re trying out in the app:

📅 Streaks – Your practice days are now automatically tracked in the Calendar tab. You’ll be able to see how many days in a row you’ve shown up for yourself.

🏅 Badges – These fun, motivational awards appear when you hit milestones:

  • 3-Day Devoted Seeker

  • 7-Day Steadfast Practitioner

  • 15-Day Master of Consistency

  • 30-Day Luminous Leader

Let’s set a collective goal to begin our best streak yet starting October 1st. Whether it’s 3 days or 30 days, every streak is a celebration of your practice.

This is a brand-new experiment, and I’d love your feedback as we launch it. Try it out, see how it feels, and let me know what you think in the comments.

Good morning! I'm trying a holistic approach to healing a case of bicep tendonitis - yoga and accupuncture - I'd like to avoid going to PT if I can as my schedule is a little chaotic right now.  Can you recommend specific poses that can help with this? And any poses I should definitely avoid? Thanks in advance for any suggestions! 🙏🥰

(Red Pine)

I feel compelled to share this with my circle. For some time now, I’ve been seeking new readings—perhaps sutras—to accompany my daily practice. After nearly two years with the Radiance Sutras, I sensed it was time for a shift. I’ve read the Yoga Sutras and am nearly through the Heart Sutra, in a translation and commentary by the renowned Red Pine (Bill Porter). At the end of the book’s long introduction, I was surprised to discover he now lives in the same town as I do.

Curious, I did a bit of searching to confirm where he lived, though I had no intention of approaching him—not until I felt more grounded in his work. I learned there’s a documentary about his life called Dancing with the Dead, which chronicles his thirty years in China.  

I watched it, it was amazing. What a remarkable life, translating ancient Chinese poetry, visiting mountain hermits, and offering so many luminous works to the world.

Then today, while walking my two dogs in Chetzemoka Park, I started down the path to the beach but turned back, thinking it would be too muddy. And there he was, Red Pine. We greeted each other, shook hands, and had a lovely conversation. I’ll admit, I was a bit awe-struck.

Next week, two of his translated works are set to arrive: The Collected Songs of Cold Mountain and The Mountain Poems of Stonehouse. I plan to draw my daily readings from these.  I definitely feel they found me...

It’s been a while since I made a longer Yin video since I’ve been hard at work creating enough 20-30 min sessions for all you daily practitioners. But if you’re one of my diehard yinsters who’ve been asking for a longer session, here’s a new 60 min class to deliver you into bliss and spaciousness — with luxurious pose holds, an on-screen timer, and optional props for deeper support. This all-levels practice has options for beginners and experienced yogis. I really hope you enjoy it!

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. 🧡🧡

As we ease into autumn, there's a naturally gravity toward slowing down, reconnecting with ourselves, and remembering our priorities. 🍂

Today's new 30 min yin yoga for deep tissues will help guide you on your journey in.

I'm happy to be back in my studio after months of travel, and in this video I've got the body mic on – so you'll hear me talking live for the first time in a while after all the voiceover videos I've been doing.

What do you notice shifting in your practice as the seasons change? 🍁
