At Functional Ashtanga, we have a self practice support community every day from 7-10am. The first 15-20 minutes are sangha oriented. Then it’s community practice. No teachers, just friends on the path doing their thing together. It’s included in a studio membership.

Guys... can we talk about words?

I've seen folks claiming that these folks actin' a fool on the capital are being sent by "Antifa. "

Word means things, and I think maybe we need to talk:

"Antifa" means Anti-Fascist-- as in, against Fascism.

Fascism is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.

To be Anti Fascist means to be agains totalitarian, ultranationalist government. There are many organizations that are "Anti-Fascist" but there isn't a singular "Antifa" organization.

This is comparable to "Feminist" organizations. There isn't a single Feminist Organzation. Feminism is an ideology.

To be Feminist means that you believe woman are equal to men. To be an "Feminist organization" means that you are an organization in support of women's rights on the basis of the equality of the sexes.

So, to circle this wagon: there are feminist organizations and anti-fascist organizations-- and, like those ideals, there is no central organization.

Here's what I don't get: How have we twisted the idea of being "Anti Fascist" into being a bad thing? Since when is being against a totalitarian government a bad thing?

Could it be that if you are a fascist, you want to convince people that being "anti fascist" is a bad thing?

Over threw last few years, I've managed to miss "Resolution Season," since I'd have been on my yearly practice and reflection sabbatical. As a teacher returning home from sabbatical in March, I would often be filled to the brim with inspiration to share-- and in front of a new audience! The reporte required -- including the desire to find a common nomenclature-- were the building blocks of a working relationship in March... but I think they work in January, too!

Check out some of my tips and tools for understanding Why Yoga Works, and how to help those seeking a resolute resolutions find value in your offergings!

Over the last nine months, I've been creating Functional Ashtanga, a community focused on educating yoga practitioners and teachers on practices that are scientifically proven to positively impact well-being... and how to implement them.

In September, I’ll be launching a 10-month integrative online Functional Ashtanga Training. We dive *deep* into functional anatomy, contextualized yoga humanities, and a collection of the most potent pranayama and meditation practices I have discovered in my 20 years of dedicated practice. I’ve spent two years developing this program, which includes 4 functional joint assessment for each participant (so you can measure your progress), 150+ 20 minute learning videos (I’m still recording!), curated readings, and measured learning objectives (homework + quizzes). Of course, I’ll have office hours. It’s capped very, very small for this first cohort, and costs 3,000— but I’m gonna take 500 off if you sign up early. With a $500 deposit, I’ll offer a monthly payment plan for 10 months (with no upcharge— gross).
