I've been abroad for the most recent conversations regarding the changing landscape of yoga in DC. We're seeing an unbelievable rise in yoga chains in DC-- Yoga District, Yoga Works, Down Dog, The Georgetown Yoga/Shaw/Dupont Conglomo, Yoga Heights, and Corepower. What does it mean for those who are highly trained and highly skilled to have chains expanding? What does it mean for those who want access to a contemplative practices and philosophy sets that goes back a few thousand years? What does it mean for those who don't know any of that and teach fitness with curated playlists under a homophone? Meg is interested in ensuring that modern postural yoga doesn't go the way of Lombrusco.
Stretching.
ââ¦I must confess that I am not afraid of the word âtension.â â¦there is a type of constructive nonviolent tension that is necessary for growth. Just as Socrates felt that it was necessary to create a tension in the mind so that individuals could rise from the bondage of myths and half-truths to the unfettered realm of creative analysis and objective appraisal, we must see the need of having nonviolent gadflies to create the kind of tension in society that will help men to rise from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to the majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood. So, the purpose of direct action is to create a situation so crisis-packed that it will inevitably open the door to negotiation"
AS MLK WROTE IN HIS Birmingham letters, Rattling the establishment is very useful. Its true, you might find yourself a pariah, but to an unrepresented community of people, you are representation, giving voice to those that have been largely voiceless. It requires valor and bravery, as MLK later came to discover, as standing your ground may in fact become the hill that you die upon.
Much like my affinity for drag, I recognize that yoga will never truly be mainstream because it "mocks ego," as RuPaul says. Yoga is very good for marginalized people. It's goodness for the voices unspoken is directly proportionate to its threat to the establishment.
The establishment, the Man, is invested in maintaining its power, and because that power comes from a deified ego, the establishment further marginalizes those that dare question ego.
Anything that mocks ego becomes an inherent threat.
Those vested in the power that comes from the establishment, and for this I say as clearly as I can: especially ONLY from the establishment-- those people will always attempt to (at best) diminish and (at worst) silence (by any means necessary) that which shows that the emporer has no clothes. They will do it with a clear conscience as only those who have made a god out of a toothless tiger can murder guiltlessly.
The very best way to rattle the ego starts by creating tension. Without discounting your inherent value, question your worth. You can't use your privileges for good if you don't admit you have them. We all have god given rights and innate gifts. What are your gifts? Where have you struggled? You can't recognize your growth potential without a sober assesment of where you are. This will help build empathy.
Then, go out and get loud.
Rattle the establishment.
Do yoga.
Fight AIDS.
Make MLK, RuPaul, and this little yogi proud and go out there and color with all the colors in the crayon box.

I have a few friends from DC visiting an #ashtanga retreat center in Goa. Taking a visit to #arambol (a bit of a hike from the retreatcenter) they took a 🎥of this rad #tightrope walker -- thinking of me and my love for the weird, they posted the clip on the internet and tagged me. Guess what?? I had just done the same thing, but hadn't posted! A few minutes later, we ran smack into each other... Just next to the performer!!🎪
🔮I felt conjured by white magic. 🔮
In New Orleans, as in Arambol, there are performers everywhere. The unwritten rule of ettiquiette is that you are free to watch, but taking pictures should lead to 💰💰💰
The age of the performer and the vibe of the older gal collecting the money gave me the heeby-jeebies. She was young and the lady was very gruff... Do. Not. Like. And I love throwing money at drag queens, strippers, and circus performers-- yikes!😳
Stair was the owner of the yoga studio that housed and incubated me as I became a #mysore style #ashtanga #yoga teacher. Thank god she was kinder to me than that scary old lady. 👵🏾👵🏾👵🏾
I try not to doubt the power of the universe to give stage direction, and this was just one more chance to see it in action. There is magic everywhere (especially NoLa and Goa) I think yoga helps us listen and hear for the cues, and our seniors can either really help us with that-- to see and feel the magic... 🎩
... Or they can stiffle and silence and take advantage -- something akin to labor violations. Allowing for beauty and growth and magic doesn't mean not seeing the ugly, the oppression, and the macabre.

Yoga's not all rainbows and kittens.

The lies that fearful, closeted queer children internalize can become the fire that lights the way to truth. But the pain that is the air upon which it burns may heal but is not forgotten, and there is no lack of kindling-- injustice -- to burn, even in adulthood.
Cory's fire functions as a light, one that ably guides people onto a path of self love and acceptance. If we, as queer people, don't have our narratives shared, they will be erased and replaced by the more palatable mistruths of the powerful.
Cory is an inspiration. Pam's EP, "She Persisted" is the low key anthem the marginalized could use in 2018. To the gay white men, don't get lost in the echo chamber of hyperliberal DC, support the spectrum. Cory, youre a brave motherfucker.
And, friends, aa always, get your ass to yoga.

How do we tether a soul to another? What twine or taffy makes them stay? Is it love or god or byproduct of inevitability?
Perhaps there is no real delineation-- all three the same, differently labeled, but effectively borderless. So then too, this is a reflection on both marriage and friendship, both of which can bind so equally and tightly. It seems to me there is no distinction -- both a pact with another to participate in the process of complete cooperation with the inevitable. Sounds an awful lot like enlightenment.
The great sages of the yogic path say that the surest way to the end states of yoga are through love and devotion. They call that path to enlightenment bhakti.
There is no surer way to know God and the self than love.
Till death do we part, indeed.

Hypocrisy Day: This Isnt Yoga
Ramdev has called Modi âa close friend,â and the prime minister publicly lauds Patanjaliâs array of ayurvedic products â medicines, cosmetics and foodstuffs. Although Modi campaigned heavily on promises to reform Indiaâs economy and fight corruption, there were frequent dog whistles to the Hindu nationalist base, some of them coordinated with Ramdev
"As a Hindu monk, Ramdev has repeatedly declared his disapproval of homosexuality, calling it âimmoral and unnatural."

I've been sharing whole videos of solo practice (as raw as it is) on my Instagram story @michaeljoelhall -- it feels like an exercise in transparency, a trench of narcissism, and a stab at weeding out loneliness.

I cannot express how much I've learned and continue to learn from David. He sees things practically-- encouraging longevity and excellence in practice-- something any long term practitioner requires.
Highly recommended-- and I'll see you there !!

This weekend was the Mysore Magic Retreat weekend to Knoxville with @livelyogini and 22 practitioners from all over the DMV. The bravery, commraderie, dedication, and good humor will stay with me for a good long while. I wish the raspberry cober would, too.
For me, the major theme of the weekend was intersectionality: between honesty, non harming, and contentment-- how we can find that intersection on the mat, our relationships, and our work.
Thank you so much, Maggie!!!

My dear friend Jen is an exquisite and accessable teacher. Shes having a 20% off sale for her online ashtanga trainings to help pay her dog's mounting vet bills. You should buy the videos because they're ridiculously good, but you should do it now because every penny from the 20% off sale goes right to her vet.

if I've learned anything from @davidgarriguesyoga -- it's to turn every obstruction or obstacle into an opportunity for development. your own ingenuity matters and Hatha yoga hones it.
I'm teaching a 4 week course on applied anatomy for yoga practitioners and professionals at Kali Yoga Studio. First four Tuesdays in October, 7:30p-9:30p. $130 for studio members, $150 otherwise. Class size will be kept small!

The comments give me faith in god above.
creating false dichotomies and clinging to societal standards is further sealing the cracks in the proverbial box where the air can come in. the air the keeps you from pretending that the world isnât burning and that any kind of exploration on unboxing wonât get you killed. At your church, your synagogue, your discotech, your yoga studio, running up 12th street, or coming home from a restaurant opening in eckington.

This is one of my absolute all time favorite sequences to practice and to share. For those accustomed to vinyasa flow, youâll get all the highlights. For those loving power yoga, youâll get tons of floating opportunities. For those interested in a more gentle approachâ the sequence is highly adaptable and approachable.
Come!
Come!
For multi discipline practitioners and seasoned Ashtanga yogis alike, this class breaks down the primary series in a manner that highlights its accessibility, adaptability, and brilliance.

We'll spend three weeks (nov 13, 20, 27) putting together a usable schema for approaching practitioners-- and practical hands on experience.
I'm keeping the numbers tight so that everyone has an opportunity to interface a ton. You can expect lively discussion and small group hands-on work

Three kick ass workshops â 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 practiceâ 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.
Guysâ this Friday at Mind the Mat in Del Rey! An incredibly good time is about to go down!
