This weekend another student in a class I was taking was really distracting. As I tried to focus, I remembered some lessons from the stoics. The more I thought about my reaction in the moment, the more I knew it called for some deeper understanding and more learning. Digging back in to Meditations and Epictitus, this lesson appears again and again. You are not in control of everything. What you can control is your reaction, and how much energy you give the things that bother you the most. It takes Practice - just like anything else.

Going deeper in your yoga practice doesn’t necessarily mean inversions and handstands and beautiful poses. However, that can still be a part of your regular practice. This series will get you started thinking about possibility, or what’s required to take some of those options a little further. The seven is one way to post content about inversion practice, and also give you some drills to build strength, flexibility, mobility, and philosophy towards approaching inversions.

Let's get to know each other! Comment below sharing where you are in the world, a photo, or your favorite feel good yoga posture... even something you like to do for fun. 😊

I'm working on a special project. Building out a yoga community here on Skool. The idea behind the community is go connect with yogis from around the world who are interested in diving deeper into their practice. More specifically, the 'older' crowd. If you're like me and you're an athlete (present or former) and your body isn't doing what you would like it to - let's try to work on that. In a similar way, so many of us GenX-ers are dealing with a lot of life changes - from kids leaving for school to family hardships and loss - and in my experience so far, there aren't a lot of places to work these issues out. SO - I'd love to invite you to join my Skool community group! As it starts to take shape, I'll be offering some tools and guides, some classes, some meditations (like yoga Nidra) even workshops. Basically - everything I'm trying to do to build a healthy and happy lifestyle. There's still lots to build - but there's also lots to learn about how me and my teacher friends can lead and serve. Join us, won't you?
