Oooooh, Alcohol! I know its a lot of Team Sketch's favorite vice. It certainly has been known to make my Monday's tricky.
Aside from "empty" calories, alcohol sugars are the last sugars to metabolize. It's crazy talk to think that one cocktail can ruin a whole day (or week!)'s work, but its true. To mitigate your damage, stick to the following guidelines.
Rule #1: Beer'll getcha. I love beer. But, the gluten in it

Deadlifts at 6am are known to catch you at 4 pm, apparently.
deadlifts demand yoga.
One hour 'till Rooftop Happy Hour Yoga at Balance Gym. YEEEEES!
deadlifts, then Happy Hour Yoga (5:30) at Balance Gym!
21-15-9: Pullups & 95lbs Power Snatch: 13:04
Lauren & me-- snatchin'.
Olympic lifts, metabolic conditioning, ashtanga asanas, and a great cause: skin cancer awareness. I love my friends-- and @[100063566111555:2048:Balance Gym].
Heavy Deadlifts demand... protein. Then yoga.
To quote @[617270401:2048:Erica Martinson] (with a nod to my burgeoning, torrid friendmance with @[506243441:2048:Kaelan Hollon] ): ""I spend a lot of time thinking, "How can I better stalk @[771905126:2048:Michael Joel Hall]?" The answer is this: $20 for a month unlimited gym/classes at Balance, where he can be my yoga guru, or $59 for a month unlimited CrossFit, where I know he loiters (lifting things over his head

In this order: Bench press, teach, practice, run.
teach, deadlift, run, teach, practice, teach... seis de mayo leads to lunazula.
Today seems like a pretty bitchin' day to pratice on Balance Gym's rooftop. Getting Primary in before teaching at 5:30. Looking forward to all the new members!
practicing the rocket sequence at Balance Gym, then doing a metcon at CrossFit Balance. Then, of course, sharing some bendy-jumpy-floatiness with my friends from Mid City Yoga and Balance Gym. Come play!
Can you imagine a no grunting gym? I would have been asked to leave @[100063566111555:2048:Balance Gym] today if we had a "lunk alarm."

needs to go bench.
I hope I see some friends tonight at tonight's yoga class at Balance Gym. That'll make it easier to round up some drinkin' buddies.
...didn't realize this was his last week of strict strength work... lookout CrossFit Balance, I'm comin' back to play!
"Cloudy, with biiiiiig silver linings" was the forecast this morning: <3 practicing in Dupont and making it to the end of primary right as Erica Martinson (a bff) walked up. <3 returning to crossfit. <3 leading a class and being able to thank my "sub" in person
had a pretty amazing day-- An awesome lift this AM, fabulous classes, a coffee date with my dear teacher and friend Kristen Krash, a fantastic conversation with my students about what "yoga" means to them ("awareness of the breath, body and mind. freedom. work."), and a killer CrossFit class. I mean, really. Today rocks. MichaelCycle shipped, too. I know, I can't stand me, either. 🙂
Power Cleans and Deadlifts in the AM so that I can do Primary in the heat of a DC sun. You do not need heaters when it's 97°!
Eating in this manner has changed my attitude, my body, and my overall well-being. I started out Paleo, and have allowed Dairy back in (moderatly), and now am mostly "primal".

is on a five day cleanse.
O hai mango. O bai cleanse.
Oooh-- hey guys, the 6:15 class is totally on today at Balance Gym. Come play!
A month of 90% vegetarianism: check. Tomorrow: back to STRICT paleo. No modifications (no dairy, no roasted nuts, not even a smidge of sugar). Lets see.

A friendly reminder that, at 83, RBG does 10 push-ups consecutively without using her knees.
Oh. Then she does 10 more.
Dis-ease in the body, dis-ease in the mind.
Hit me up if you are looking to create time & space for ease. Appropriate for 13-84. Fat, sickly, skinny, judicial or ripped: It's time for yoga!

Lifting solo, again.
Post lift. I love practice at the gym.
Lifted and got my heart rate up. Bye-bye bad mood. It's so simple, and yet...
Oblig gym selfie.
(âï¸âï¸âï¸) giving myself gold stars for practice and lifting.
It took me 6 hours to convince myself to go to the gym.
Spotted: my fantastic apprentice @Whitney Paterson at the gym doing pullups. All the feels!
It does get really hot out here. Ya gotta work quickly sometimes.

Seven years ago, my friends and I won a cow for our exploits at the cave man Olympics. I was getting into the "best shape of my life" -- I look back at these times incredibly fondly -- the resilience, determination, and unfuckwithableness I gleaned in that time has proved invaluable as I continue to grow in my inner and outer fitness.
From the last time I was in the best shape of my life.

The average American
lifespan is 76.4 years.
MIDDLE AGE isn't 50, it's 38...
Regular structured exercise
(specifically strength training)
can not only help slow aging, but
REVERSE aging before it begins.
Start now, and never stop.

Social media influencers are
not health and fitness experts.
They are paid to push product,
shill supplements and sell sex.
If you want real qualified info?
Look for these 3 quality criteria:
1. Education
2. Experience
3. Ethics
99% of influencers lack all 3...

Yoga practice builds resilience— something i really encourage.
I’m sort of known for my resilience, which is a nice way of saying I’ve seen some sh*t and seem fairly well adjusted. I even got to write about resilience during times of political unrest for @yogajournal . I’m also known as well as my transparent, explicit approach to yoga and life.
I’m full of nonsense and laughter— with high concienciousness, and low agreeability. I help people understand yoga by becoming a team player— again, with high conscienciousness and low agreeability 😅😅 Independent thinkers who can be team players are like improv triple threats.
The secret to life is “Yes, and.”
Here’s my CV For the last half decade, including the trauma porn.
2020 Covid + RIP Brother & Sister-in-Law + first Functional Ashtanga training + Parents in lockdown in Mexico after moving w/brother & him dying.
2021 Opened @theyoga.club (omg no way)
2022 Evolved functional Ashtanga to Ashtanga Tech with Cory & Heather
+ Hit by car while biking + broken wrist and rib
2023 Turned 40
+ Hit by bicyclist and broken ankle and reinjured rib + huge success with peer support initiatives
2024 Quit Drinking and kept on rehabbing + changed my body radically (again) + took on the neighborhoods drug problems
2025 Infinite Possibilities
I’m the friendly neighborhood ashtanga yoga teacher, whose mysore program has been going at it uninterruptedly since 2013.
I struggle to marry commerce and art in this format, so do bear with the high brow-low brow of it. I have a lot of opinions after doing this for 12 Years, and I hope to cast a wide net. .
