Members: What are your favorite yoga tweaks? 

One of the best things about practicing yoga at home is that we can adjust poses to suit our own bodies. At in-person classes, sometimes we feel pressure to conform – even if things don't feel quite right.

Is there a particular pose you tend to modify every time it comes up?

Here's an example from my own practice: While I enjoy downward dog, it's not a restful position for me. This is likely due to the way my upper body is built. When teachers say to "rest" in dog for more than a few breaths, I typically shorten it and drop into plank pose or child's.

I'd love to hear about the modifications you regularly do in your practice – share in a comment below! 🌿👇🏽

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.

The recording of yesterday's Somatic Yoga Foundations class #3 is now available. This one focuses on the hips. Our final session will be Tue Sept 30.
