🧘♂️ Teaching Ashtanga Yoga in the Heart of Birmingham, Alabama! 🧘♀️
Had an amazing time at Birmingham Yoga @birminghamyoga , owned by the wonderful Heather Sullivan @magiccityyogi 🧡 Teaching Ashtanga, hanging with my dear friends (Hi, Cory Bryant @coryyoga !!) - we filled our days with invigorating practice and filled our bellies with delicious tacos. 🌮✨
Yoga, friends, and good food - what more could you ask for? 😄 #AshtangaYoga #BirminghamYoga #YogaLife #YogaCommunity #GoodTimes #TacoLove #ashtangayoga

🧘♂️Exploring Time Delays in #AshtangaYoga 🕰️
Did you see my article (link in bio)
🔄 I intertwine the practice of yoga with systems theory, emphasizing that the fruits of yoga bloom subtly and gradually, embodying a crucial time delay between practice and noticeable benefits.
🌱 It’s like a garden, little changes are a big deal over time— consistent practice nurtures physical strength, flexibility, and mental focus, forming a continuous cycle of growth and discovery. You can’t rush the crop.
🔄 Practice becomes a holistic exploration, intertwining physical, mental, and emotional spheres.
🚶♂️ Navigating through the complexities and time delays in yoga involves embracing vulnerability, seeking personalized guidance, and cultivating patience and compassion.
📝 Strategies like maintaining a practice journal and engaging in community practice are highlighted as vital in navigating through the subtle, continuous progress that unfolds over time.
🌟 Remember: The journey through Ashtanga Yoga is not merely about mastering poses but a holistic exploration that unfolds patiently and subtly over time.

🌿 I saw first hand our capacity to change the world when I travelled to the cloud forest regeneration project @suenodevida_ecu in 2019. The Patreon helps me keep tabs on their hard work. The latest one inspired my latest blog post.
Merging the wisdom of my mentor, Kristen Krash, with my journey as a Mysore-style Ashtanga Yoga teacher. Kristen’s remarkable work in regenerating Ecuador’s cloud forests teaches us about the deep interconnectedness of life.
🌳 KK’s article, ‘Why those big-tree planting projects fail. And why ours is succeeding,’ is not just about trees, but about resilience, regeneration, and community.
🧘♂️💚 In it, I find striking parallels to the nurturing environment of our Mysore yoga community. Just as a forest is more than its trees, our growth is about more than just individual practices. It’s about how we thrive together. Let’s explore these insights and grow, collectively.
