One day or Day one?

Just two? Yes, just two. Just the essentials, really.

Just the breath, and your intention. Pranayama, and sankalpa. With these, miracles happen. With these, you can transform worlds.

It begins with nadi shodhana (alternate nostril breathing – literally “channel purification”) to clear and tonify the primary left, right and center (ida, pingala, shoshumna) energy pathways – essential to moving pranic dynamism more freely through the body. There is core work to awaken heat and enhance stability. There is increased awareness of the depth and pacing of the breath, to calibrate effort and control heat, without exhaustion or slumping out. Throughout it all, a continuous refreshing of the intention set at the beginning of the practice, to prevent the mind/emotions from wandering hither and yon.

Listen. If nothing else, hone and revere these two potent yogic tools. After all, you can practice juicy asana all day, you can meditate and chant and drink gallons of organic grass-fed tea made from the laughter of baby dolphins, but without these two vital guides, none of it makes much sense.

You have patterns. Lots of them. You have conditioned beliefs, cultural programming, mental and emotional constructs, things you truly believe you like and do not like, want and do not want, fear and doubt and OMGWTF. We ALL do. Question is, are they working for you? Are all those patterns, tribal affiliations, certainties and opinions helpful and nourishing, or depleting and numbing? To you AND to those around you? Are they even really yours? How do you know?

This class invites the idea, the practice of *re-patterning.* Which is to say: Observing your various samskaras (habituated behaviors and programmed reactions) and perhaps, through practice, clearing and dissolving them, and then replacing them with the unexpected, the fluxive, the healthy and the divine. Read: swooping, looping, trance-like body movements to get you to stop knowing what you think you know. Which you actually don’t. Isn’t that marvelous?

Little-known fact: Backbends are often just as much, if not more, about opening the front body – the chest, the heart, the thighs, the belly – as they are about getting the spine to give up its deep, psycho-emotional traumas and delights.

Here’s a relatively advanced (read: do be careful, OK?), backbend-heavy practice designed, on the physical level, to explore multiple modes and intensities of spinal flexion: deep folds, multiple flavors of backbend, a strappy Natarajasana, challenges to both your focus and balance. But on the other, less obvious levels? Far more interesting possibilities for deep release, expansion.

How intense do you want it? How deep are you willing to go? How much release can you truly handle, without harming yourself and without obeying your nagging ego’s urges to either push harder or collapse and give up? Shall we find out?

It's time to chant. Chanting is grounding. Chanting calms the nervous system and, if done in a group, creates and celebrates community. The chants in this video are translated in a way that you can incorporate the essence and meaning of the words into your yoga practice and your life. It is not about the quality of your voice. It is about the quality of commitment to practice, just like the asana videos. It took me years to become comfortable with the sound of my own voice. Once I found that comfort, I fell in love with chanting in a whole new way. Honestly, you can do this video everyday for the rest of you life. Sing out loud.

Do you know Surya? Do you know what Surya Namaskar, an exceedingly common “warm-up” Vinyasa sequence practiced in roughly 108 million yoga studios across the land, is actually all about? Here’s the thing: Most yoginis don’t.

Not to worry; here’s a brief, powerful, thoroughly light-soaked overview, and vigorous morning (pre-dawn, ideally) ritual practice, dedicated to the “true” meaning of Surya and his famous “sun salutation,” which might not be quite what you think it is. Just an exercise? A classic warm-up? Sort of. But oh, also so much more. Also a ritual, a prayer, an offering of devotion to life itself, like you cannot believe. Or can you? Of course you can.

It can be a dangerous mindset we all fall into at some point: We start believing that life really IS what we often say it is: Same ol’ same ol’, back to the grind, just another slog, hoping to survive. In other words, life is, we numbly come to think, just a burden to be endured. Joy is an exception, fleeting and unreliable.

Nonsense. Here’s a vigorous wake-up practice designed specifically to remind you that you get to CHOOSE your alignment, your particular “vibe” in the world, every single day, and watch as the world orients itself around THAT (not the other way around). Foundational core work, hip releases, swirls and loops and warriors, all meant to dissolve nonsense conditioning and fatalistic “survivalist” thinking, and replace them with the vigorous and the alive.

Will doing this class every day make you a happier, nicer person, beloved by all? Of course not. But maybe, just maybe, a little less whiny.

What’s your favorite addiction? If you’re a good American, chances are, it’s to fragmentation, to some bogus idea of multitasking (a toxic myth, btw), to nonstop busyness, to the point that we believe being crazily harried all the time – to being a sloppy “hot mess” – is some sort of virtue, and that something is wrong with us if we’re not living in a manic state of barely controlled chaos, all the time.

This is, of course, madness. Fun to say, dumb to believe.

Here’s a vigorous, fiery sequence designed to help you unify, to calm the hell down, and to focus on the single, perfect, un-fragmented moment you are in, right now. Every pose offers a chance to focus on what you are doing – *and nothing else.* To, quite literally, identify your body, your attention, and your breath in the room, on your mat, in the space and moment where you are. No multitasking, not “crazy busy,” not drunk on turmoil, not splaying out all over the place. Just present, charged, awake to the now. Deal?

Behold this giddy, delightful and VERY shoulder/arm/chest intensive practice, core stable and alignment precise. That’s right! It’s all manner of chaturangas, double dips, planks and half-handstands and pincha mayurasanas, moves both familiar and, perhaps, not so much. Prediction: You will love it, even when you hate it.

And why? For the sake of real stability, of course. For the sake of true strength – not just bulk muscle or brute force, but functional, useful upper-body energy that can reach and rotate, lift and hold with dexterity and ease, and not get hurt.

Be careful with this one. Do what you can. Do not overdo it. Ignore your ego. Build up to it. Try a few, then try again. Come back to what didn’t seem remotely possible, and try it again. And then again.

Reminder: Upper body strength is NOT about the ability to hoist heavy things or grunt through a pile of dumb pushups. It’s about a particularly confident, poised flavor of grace and physical integrity. It’s for holding up the weight of the world, and then dancing.

Oh hello! Pradeep brings his best to this class, weaving energetically and seamlessly through inventive sequences, strength poses, and core work that will make you sit up and say, Oh my asana! Did someone say planks?? This one is sure to find a spot on lots of favorites lists.

You can take your practice deeper when looking at the big picture and seeing all the goodness that life has to offer. Pradeep leads the class through simple yet inventive vinyasa sequences with his unique sense of humor and ways of encouraging us to dig deeper, even when life becomes challenging.

Yogis! Yoginis! Be forewarned: There exists a persistent, entirely obnoxious myth in the yoga world – that of yoga as squishy, love-n'-light ball of feel-good smarm, the sole purpose of which is to fill the universe with pretty mala beads, overpriced yoga tights and adorable fluffy bunnies made out of 108 flavors of sighs.

This myth is, in the words of the ancient gurus, total bullshit.

Know this now: A truly aligned yoga practice avoids nothing. We do not ignore or hurriedly bypass all the difficult, dark, messy parts of human existence just to soak in “the good parts,” nor do we cling too hard to the blissful and pleasant, lest they, too, turn calcified and poisonous. We embrace the entire range of human experience and expression, bowing to ALL the names of the goddess (and lo, she has thousands).

This hour-long blast of challenge is designed to help you NOT race through difficult moments, or clutch too tightly to only the ones you like. The nature of consciousness, after all, is 'spanda': vibration, movement, pulse and flux, the eternal inhale and exhale, not getting stuck anywhere for too long. Hell, even the bunnies know that.
