in image*When I was young there were beatniks. Hippies.
Punks. Gangsters. Now you're a hacktivist. Which I
would probably be if I was 20. Shuttin' down
MasterCard. But there's no look to that lifestyle!
Besides just wearing a bad outfit with bad posture. Has
WikiLeaks caused a look? No! I'm mad about that. If
your kid comes out of the bedroom and says he just
shut down the government, it seems to me he should at
least have an outfit for that."

I am fascinated by ritual.

They have so many different forms and varied affectations— different elaborations, steps, and varied repetitions — I love them.

I am often *taken* by them, and occasionally my attention is so captivated it makes me want to try it. This medicated ghee speaks to me, and shows me the value of Annette’s practice in so many different arenas of life. Makes me want to participate.

Thanks, Annette!

"God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve,” said the preacher from the bully pulpit. Meanwhile, “If Michelangelo had been straight,” one lesbian comedian was heard espousing, “the Sistine Chapel would have been wallpapered.” Continual research into the infinite and enough time with my lesbian sisters tells me that she’s prolly got this sorted out.

The badges of honor and momentos of acclaim that come from climbing to your highest highs are nothing compared to the capacity we create internally of looking at our lowest lows with a fresh perspective.
After all, you can not chart a mountains range in meters without knowing sea level. And the best place to find the next peak is from the top of another.
In truth, though, you may have to climb all the way down to get all the way up. Better enjoy the climb.

About ten years ago, i set a goal for myself to be on the cover of yoga journal. Today, i made it to the homepage.
10 years in, I think that's about right. Time and dreams change. Markers of success evolve.
Back then, I imagined that my perfect form and smiling face would make a valuable representation -- and mark an internal validation.
As practice is wont to, I eventually had a realization: I could do better. I wanted to share something more substantive than just form. The marker for validation had shifted dramticay.
I wanted to share some part of what practice had shared with me-- something that has helped me grow and thrive and that I have seen do the same for others time and time again.
Well, here we are. I talk about resilience. I share a modified primary series. I tried to use explicit language so as to maximize value and minimize confusion. .
I'm honored and thrilled. Simply in existing, it represents those who might feel marginalized.
I'm out, I'm queer, and I'm big. I'm a yoga practitioner. What I've shared is what I know to be a powerful and potent practice steeped in tradition and that has a veracious efficacy.
I hope you find it useful, for yourself or for others.

As some of you know, I'm headed to the cloud forest of Ecuador, outside of Quito. If you were ask me why, I'd tell you to "plant some trees. "

The trees and the planet are trending right now, aren't they? Maybe because the whole world is burning and things are about to get really fucked. Thats likely. But, thats not why I'm headed down there.

Yes, I'll tell you I'm going to Ecuador to plant some trees... but the truth is, I'm going down to do whatever the hell it is Kristen is doing.

For a good long time now, I've been in the business of earnestly learning from her. It's been a good choice on my end to value her knowledge... I truly don't know what I'd be if I hadn't made that choice long ago.

You can get in on this, too.

Here's the deal: you don't have to go plant trees-- for $18 a month, you'll help Kristen plant a lot of trees. And you'll get some yoga videos. Good karma stuff all around. She called the Pateron level "Karma Yogi" for a reason, and it makes me smile.

On top of the good vibes and some chocolate, you'll also get some yoga and recipe videos. Like this one. I teach ashtavakrasana very similarly to KK-- it would make sense, of course. She taught me how to teach it.

Go sign up. Get some yoga videos. Save the planet.

Tell people you're saving the planet. You're helping. And you will be.

Or don't tell anyone and just do it for yoga videos... your money will still fund the trees.

Or, be like me, and donate and tell everyone and still try and get some clout and maybe you'll never watch the videos but you'll at least in some small way be able to give back and you're gonna do it because it honors your teachers.

Fun fact: a *lot* of yoga teachers are on Medicaid due to the nature of their employment opportunities. Seriously: Some of your favorite teachers at your FAVORITE yoga studios.

So as not to publicly shame the studios with teachers on Medicare, I’ve redacted the studio names. But:

For a 1 hour class: a teacher with ~5 years experience receives between $35-$55 a class— this entails an hour long commute, two hours of class prep minimum, and the class itself. $8.75-$13.75 an hour.

For a teacher with 20 years experience? $55-$85 — that’s $13.75-21.25 an hour, with a maximum class cap per day of 4 (very, very high due to a maximum earning potential based on ability to commute and score gigs).

Are these livable wages? Discuss.

karmaastrology The Moon is currently in the asterism
known Ashlesha, or "The Entwiner." It will be here until it
enters Leo around 10:45 am NY time. Ashlesha gives off a
serpentine energy which brings us closer to our deep
reptilian nature. Therefore, tonight is a time to act
methodically and be wary of the desire to inflict venom into
our adversaries. This is a great time to practice yoga or
other energy sciences.

because it was so natural to climb on my mat and know he
was observing my practice adjusting as he watched.
Missing him because I haven't found a new teacher-

teachers in my journey. @betsypoos first handstand,
@wkcharles & @lizarch (inversions/martial art goddesses),
@spirituallyfly for guiding me to find my teaching voice and

in imageHe is not an instructor. He does not work inside
any studio. I doubt that he knows what
"sidebar" is or how to tap it back.
You may not agree with his politics or the
candidates that he chooses to support, but the
people inside of the studios should not be on
the receiving end of any misguided anger or
frustration. Anyone familiar with SoulCycle and
its core values knows the profound impact that
this community has on the world and the
momentum it has created in bringing us all
together. I stand firmly in my beliefs that each
one of my colleagues is preaching a message
of love and equality from the podium of their
classes. Messages that transcend any hate,
bigotry or prejudice. Boycotting SoulCycle
means attempting to muffle these messages in
this critical time when they should be amplified
instead.
True students of SoulCycle know what it means
to lean into work and really sink their heels in
when moments get tough. It's what we've
tirelessly trained our minds and bodies to do.
Anyone can host a fundraiser. Misguided anger
does not provide a solution; It just creates more
noise in an already hectic and chaotic world. I
challenge you to do something constructive,
instead of joining the overpopulated ranks of
online keyboard warriors.
