Enjoyment as a Discipline:

Hey y’all, it’s Michael here, bringing you some backbending inspiration from my workroom. My biggest tip? Stop making yourself miserable.

Incorporating enjoyment and gratitude into the discipline of yoga practice is in itself a transformative act. It shifts the focus from viewing practice as a duty or challenge to seeing it as a cherished part of daily life. This shift in perspective can significantly enhance a practitioner’s dedication and enthusiasm, making the practice more sustainable and enriching.

Commit to knocking the sh*t*y self talk off. Enjoyment is part of the process— be disciplined about its curation!

I promise, I'm not skipping leg day.

I lift as occupational therapy. I lift because it makes me feel affirmed in my masculinity. I lift because it helps combat negative mental chatter. I lift because I'm vain. I lift because there's more than one way to get kundalini to rise.

I understand that it's healthy for me to have an outlet for exercise that is seperate from my spiritual practice. Things get weird when I try to do mental gymnastics in order to feel good about my actual gymnastics. Remember: i'm vain. Ican just make exercise exercise and yoga yoga. I think it's a good idea for most, but athletes in particular.

Do you practice yoga and lift weights?

Maybe lets launch a little ashtanga early bird barbell club, huh? Hit me up if that sounds fun.

How did i recover after getting hit by a car? Lifting with the @vitruvian trainer.

Adaptive Resistance via the electromagnetic platform is a game changer thats hard to explain but easy to see and feel. The results are, too.

We feature this cutting edge technology at @theyoga.club. Check out my latest article at michaeljoelhall.com/ to learn more about the benefits of adaptive resistance strength training.

I started training on the @vitruvian to help maintain my strength during recovery
