My colleague, Krista, has a physical job and an incredible
work ethic— she teaches Ashtanga Yoga. She’s a mom. And due to injuries and complications from surgery, she can’t work.

Can we come together to help? No one should have to become destitute because they can’t afford care.

The irony that it is a healer who has found themselves needing healing cannot be lost. Krista needs our help.

Please help if you can.

This image brings a bunch of mixed feelings and emotions-- the most relevant being: wow, ashtanga yoga is amazing and I'm so glad I have had a chance to learn a practice that has enriched my life so much.

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).

Just reserved my spot! & This is an incredible
opportunity for anyone looking to dive deep
into the practice, history, and science of
ashtanga yoga. I highly reccomend this 300
hour virtual course to anyone interested in
developing their own self-practice, and also to
my fellow teachers. Michael is an incredibly
gifted and knowledgeable mentor, and makes
me a better teacher every time I practice with
him. Grateful to call him my teacher.
Looking forward to seeing who ends up in our
small group!

From @omgbeckyp
Fridays are for
Primary Series
#suptakonasanamusings
Practicing Led Primary in a crowded room taught me
that how "advanced" an Ashtangi is has nothing to
do with what series they are on, how long they can
hold a handstand, or if they can put their feet on
their head in cortontionist poses. That's ableism.
Check yourself.

In a tight space an "advanced" yogi will know where
their neighbors are in space and time, and be able to
work a pose like this while leaving space for others
to fumble. They'll move their mat to make room for
you for when you show up late. They'll smile at you
when you accidentally kick them. #bethatyogi

I added a few words to the translation of this poses’s name. It could be called “standing belly on thighs calm the fuck down pose,” but it’s already a mouthful. She’s the first pose of Ashtanga’s foundational series. Look gently at your nose. Calm your nerves with the standing forward bend. Chill out. Bend your knees till you feel great.

This pose is neat because it lets me use my imagination. I imagine that I am hanging from a window ledge for dear life. If I lean back and balance, I can dangle with straight arms. If I go forward and pull, I can pull with an infinite strength, so long as I meet myself *exactly* in the middle. Generally, this pose highlights where I’ve got some resistance inside keeping me from the balance. Sometimes legs, sometimes arms, sometimes belly, sometimes butt. Most often, it’s no one single thing but a concurrence of them and so the best thing to do is just try to find the middle and let things work themselves out.

Ah yes, “Try Angle” pose. Of course. The one where you try to make an angle.

Seriously: this is where you can start thinking about something called “yantras”— or sacred geometry. Its an on ramp for beauty and imagination inside of yoga practice.

Here’s how it works:

Try to visualize yourself as a collection of lines.

For example, can you visualize your bottom arm and front leg as a collection of vectors that connect and intersect?

Oh look! A triangle!

The real fun comes as you try to visualize more and more of them... at the same time. And, without looking, feel how changing one vector somewhere can change the angles elsewhere... all without losing track of your breath.

So trippy. So fun.

Come try and make an angle with me at functionalashtanga.com
