Yoga practice has an external form and an internal form. The external can show up nicely in pictures for those who take pictures nicely.
Internal forms show up relationally. They can’t be captured by a camera.
The way I see it:
-You can practice externally without practicing internally.
-You can practice internally without practicing externally. -External practice has a shorter shelf life than internal practice.
What does all of this mean?
The better long-term investment in your time is on the internal form.
So why practice externally at all? Frankly, If you can’t be alone with yourself, what are the odds that someone else will want to be in your company, either?
To get better at being better, having a practice that helps to improve your ability to be alone also helps you in your ability to be in relationship.
To be a better lover, brother, father, or community member: -learn a practice
-find some open space and practice
-get an accountability buddy -be alone, together.
If you are looking for a place to start, DM me. I teach practice one-on-one — in person and online.
Already started and need some coaching or an accountability buddy? Let me know.

To all my friends and colleagues out thereâ stay strong. We will weather the storm. To those feeling a fiscal pinch and perservering, I see you. To those doing heavy lifting with emotional laborâthank you. The struggle is real, but we are resilient.

I worked at the improv during that impressionable 21-28 time frame. I am so grateful for that time. Night after night i got to watch masters hone their craft. Words, wit, and dynamic performance art... all at the same time. The relationships forged thereâ my friends, my own art, and with incredible artists... Wow. Please help if you can!
I'm goin' to Nashville (virtually!) to help YOU build a better wheel!! My buddy Cory is hosting me at his Shala since we can't be together in person... And I am stoked!
One of the unbelievably cool things that has come out of this experience is Getting to share practice with old friends

I implore all of my RIC friends to read this, hell all of my friends!!! If */*
matter to you, then #blacklivesmatter. There is no separating the two!
I'm black, I have always been black, and will continue to be black until |
take my last breath. Being black is not all that I am, but it's a large part
of who l am. When you don't see that, respect that, or appreciate that,
then you don't see me at my fullest and most wonderful. If seeing me
and my blackness offends you, there lies *your* problem, not mine. I'm
no longer going to keep quiet or hold back, to appease those who may
feel uncomfortable talking about and thinking about race. l've come a
long way from the girl who "hated" her blackness, not because | actually
hated my blackness, but because the world around me hated my
blackness, which I then internalized. I hope that you do want to see me,
and I hope that you do work to educate yourself, and I hope you do try
to understand, and I hope you do develop empathy. But if not, that'll
have to be okay. l'll keep it pushin, because *l see myself*: black,
beautiful, strong, intelligent, passionate, and devoted to educating
these babies about how to embrace, love, except and *see* their fellow
human
Gail Hall
I see you.
I think to myself, what a lovely, kind, young lady has
grown into a lovely young women.

Thank you for voting.
This year, I’ve been really touched by how many of my friends and loved ones have sacrificed their time to help others vote.
Thank you for helping others.
I am in admiration of this act of non partisan civil service.
