Would you like to take the first course from my Anatomy and Physiology program, for free?

The Q&A is on Tuesday at 5:30 EST. Pleae join us. You'll get access to the site and the course material until November 15.

We didn't get into the review because the election results were called, and frankly, we wanted to go celebrate.

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).

First, a thank you to Teaism. We love you.

Second, an admonishment to Brasserie Beck— The tone deafness of BB makes me wonder about the employment demographics of upper management at RW’s restaurant group. How white? How male? If you feel like you have to a apologize to your guests for being exposed to the outcry of a community who had just seen a member murdered, and not to the community for their pain.... your priorities look very clear.

Susan Sloane interviews strong woman in leadership --and beautifully captures the conversation. Her book, "A Seat at the Table," where you can find this wonderful collection, was just released.

This is the start of an excerpt series:

"Looking at this past year, I am fortunate that I embarked on a journey to write the stories of these women and share why gender-diversified leadership is imperative for our world. It is a happy birthday, indeed. And while there will be no party in this quarantine, I’ll cry if I want to. Happy tears—for the goodness in humanity shall prevail."

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:

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 🙂

My colleague, Krista, has a physical job and an incredible
work ethic— she teaches Ashtanga Yoga. She’s a mom. And due to injuries and complications from surgery, she can’t work.

Can we come together to help? No one should have to become destitute because they can’t afford care.

The irony that it is a healer who has found themselves needing healing cannot be lost. Krista needs our help.

Please help if you can.
