A very cool guy who makes everyone laugh. Once you meet him, you will want to be his friend right away. He is super cute and very good-looking. He has amazing taste in music, clothes, food, everything. Every girl secretly wishes that he could be her boyfriend and everyone knows he likes commitment (and just broke up with his gf). However strange and weird he may be, he's perfect. In his own little way, he is perfect.

I'm sharing tips, tricks, drills, and more next weekend from my journey into an open heart, strong legs, and distress tolerance.
My experience is not unique. Over and over, I've seen people flourish and amaze themselves.
It's all about breaking it down into pieces... And then putting it back together. I mean, who doesn't want pain free backbends?

Sound useful?

Three kick ass workshops — digging into the fun of it all on Friday, and then the deep tech on Sunday. The two workshops on Sunday are designed to help unlock the deeper dimensions of practice— wherever you are. Foundations of flow for those looking to better understand how the basics unravel into a majestic tapestry, and the deep dive to appreciate the novelty and patterning of the weave.

Calling all of the Fire Eaters! The hungry ones!

I have a few spots left for my backbending classes. Anatomy is 12-1:30, practice is 2-3:30! Come for one or both!

The anatomy will make your smarter and more useful to others and yourself.

The Asana playground will let you explore, create, imagine, PUSH and PLAY.

Get! Into! It!

The practice is going to be wild fun.

My colleague,, sometimes student, sometimes
teacher, and always dearest friend, Michael Joel Hall
is so imbued with the process of Ashtanga yoga and
his times in India with his mentors at Mysore and Goa,
1 am in full support, total respect, and a little awe of
his his dedication to his practice. As I slowly inch
toward the first rung on the Iyengar yoga teaching
ladder, I find that Michael and I continue to have so
much to share with each other from our different but
often converging paths. Yesterday, a simple car-share
meet up devolved in to a convo and mini session on
the benfits ofnpowerful seated twistings to correct
imbalances in the pelvis and ribs. Honestly, what
someone is in to, as long as he or she is in to it
sincerely, whole-heartedly, and walking the talk of the
chosen discipline, whatever it is, DO IT. And while I
tease Michael a bit about putting all his verbs in
present participle and dropping pronouns like his
teacher Shararth (there is no Michael, there is only
Zool:), as an adhimatra (intense) practitioner myself, !
get it. You can check out his Mysore program at Kali
yoga in Columbia Heights and be on the look out for
some joined forces workshops we are cooking up
between us. Respect, camaraderie, friendship, and
most importantly, the work--let's do it.

A PSA to digital content consumers and new creators: Please consider paying/charging for online content

All out-bound yoga teachers in Washington, D.C. are out of work until at least April. There will be no compensation. Most of us pay at least our own health insurance, rent, and phone bill.

For most, these are recurring monthly expense in excess of $1500, required for survival— and not including food.

It’s been a tough go of things in my industry: this is the second time i am have been forcibly removed from the workforce (without reimbursement!) due to my status as a contract employee in 15 months. My job is to provide meditation and mindfulness training and classes as a wellness service to different federal agencies, non-profits, and endowments — there is no unemployment for the self employeed.

When I was out of work last year for the government furlough, there was no “back pay”— just a sharp decrease in my pay for the 35 days the government shut down. As I said, unemployment doesn’t cover contractors. With stocks plummeting and 401ks evaporating, many of us who “responsible saved” are watching our safety net shrink at exactly the time we shouldn’t be touching it.

YOU CAN HELP!

The pivot to online training for your favorite wellness provider is not a hobbiest pivot— it’s essential. Please consider reaching out to your favorite in-person provider and supporting them financially, digitally.

I’ve included my Patreon here:

https://www.patreon.com/yogawithmjh

To all of your who have already pledged— thank you! I’m looking forward to sharing content with each of you. For the cost of one boutique fitness class, you can have access to all of the content— and for $10, you can get access to once class. I’d sure love it if you wanted access to all of it 🙂

Beast Skills
Need a serious project to take your mind
off things in self isolation? Want to go
back to work able to crank out a one-
armed pull-up, or do a handstand while
teetering on a chair? Beast Skills offers up
the toughest challenges on this list, but
breaks them down into entirely
manageable progressions, theoretically
allowing you to go from never-worked-
out-indolence to your first muscle-up in
... well, however long this all takes. If you
have got something suitable to hang them
from, this might be the time to invest in a
set of gymnastics rings - it will drastically
increase your options, and might improve
your shoulder health.

Mister Gates done been told us, y’all.

His footnote on how preparedness also helps create a more “just” society while also keeping the economy ~3 trillion dollars stronger maybe is more than a footnote.

I have made a pivot towards online offerings— but the question becomes more existential. As someone who functions as a manual therapist *and* a facilitator/ of an indigenous practice that changes the mind and body radically... is my vocation dispensable? My life’s work?

Surely not— but we do need protecting.

And we done been known.

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).

I have 4 spots left for a 4 week course that will give you the tools to practice yoga on your own and in a group. It has an easy to follow structure that goes at your own pace, with a weekly live check-in for movement instruction and Q&A. First come, first serve. $60. Sliding scale available. PM me.

With DC bars and restaurants and museums and libraries closing again, a quick note: your yoga teachers have been out of work for 9 months.

DC Unemployment is $137/month. Not to put too fine a point on it: my insurance went up to $555 a month.

Your friendly reminder about people in the health/fitness
industry. Three studios I taught at personally, no longer
physically exist. So if and when we "come back", it's not
actually that easy for me to just "jump back in". Oh... and
those studios you love? They may not be around when all is
said and done.
It's such a lose-lose situation for everyone and the lack of
help from Congress is laughable and while I've been lucky to
pivot for part of this pandemic, not everyone is so lucky.

The Yoga Club’s very first ad will be right here.

When I first started coming to DC, I would go to a little coffee house at 22nd and P (love to Soho!) to hang out, spending time reading all of my favorite (read: free + edgy) DC newspapers— The Blade, the City Paper... and Pathways.

Each of these publications has struggled to stay in print over the last 10 years. I likely don’t need to tell y’all about the rapidly changing face of media— and how it has adversely impacted queer journalism, alt-newspapers, and trade-zines.

For y’all that haven’t been here for 30 years, lemmie tell ya: Pathways is the OG DC natural living/holistic health trade publication. Last year, Pathways didn’t have a print publication (due largely to the pandemic... and the changing landscape of readership).

One of the reasons i love DC so much is precisely because i was able to find my tribe— and so much of that is due to publications like this. Who knew that the local publications i loved growing up I’d eventually get to work with?

We went with Pathways first because it’s owned by my bestie’s bestie— and you know I love family owned and friend-ran.

For 7 years, my yoga program, DC Ashtanga, was fiercely independent and grassroots — and while we remain firmly non-commercial, the Yoga Club (my new practice space) wants to help others find community while also supporting and elevating others in our community.

While DC ashtanga will remain a grassroots practice group (as it always has been), we’re now proudly in residence in our new home at theyoga.club, and it is a pro ledge to help Pathways relaunch in print, so that other little woo woo gays can find a copy... and a tribe.

In burnout cultures, people are
judged by the sacrifices they make.
Hobbies, vacations, and even family
time are viewed as distractions to
penalize.
In healthy cultures, people are
judged by the commitments they
keep. Interests outside work are
seen as passions to celebrate.
