I've watched a lot of students struggle with flying pigeon, and almost every single one of them gets stuck in the exact same spot. They set up the figure-four shape, they get the shin on to the arms, they lean forward, and they manage to get airborne....
...but when they try to release the back leg...
I want you to think about the best yoga class you've ever taken.
Not the hardest. Not the sweatiest. Not the one with the most impressive poses.
The one where something clicked.
Where you arrived at a pose you'd practiced a hundred times before, but somehow it felt completely different. More stab...
If you're in the tight upper body club, there's a good chance Eagle arms feel like a practical joke.
The teacher cheerfully says, "Wrap your arms," and somehow everyone around you manages to stack their elbows, intertwine their forearms, and press their palms together.
Meanwhile, you're standing t...
“Ding!” my computer popped up with a new notification. New email in the inbox.
Since I can’t go 3 minutes without checking my email, I went right to it.
It was from someone I’d been following online for a while about how to grow a Facebook group.

After I shared my recent article about alternative arm positions in pincha, I got quite a few comments and emails recommending different prop setups for forearm stand (click here if you have not had the chance to check the article out yet!).

For the longest time, I thought my forearm stand problem was a strength problem.
Every time I kicked up into pincha, my elbows would slide apart, my chest would drop toward the floor, and my face would end up much closer to the ground than felt comfortable. No matter how much I tried to “hug everyt...

We started with taking radical ownership of your life, and from there we moved into mindset, presence, and generosity. Each pillar built on the one before it, but they all have one thing in common: none of them matter if you don't actu...
When most of us think about leading our own lives, we focus inward.
Our goals. Our growth. Our next step forward.
And that makes sense.
The first three pillars of this series are all about that internal work: taking ownership, choosing your mindset, and living in the present.
But the fourth pillar...
Most people live in the land of "later."
I'll do it later, when work slows down.
I'll explore this later, when life feels less chaotic.
Later.... when they feel more confident, more prepared, or more ready.
The problem is that "later" has a way of quietly turning into never.
Dreams get postponed,...
Most people have no problem declaring what they want.
They set goals, make plans, and tell themselves this time will be different.
