Hello… I hope that you’re okay, maybe even doing well.
Huge things have been going on in the world these past weeks: huge huge suffering, and in many places also huge expressions of love and solidarity and care. If you find yourself struggling with these challenging times, I send you love and care as well.
Normally I offer free drop-in online yoga classes every Tuesday evening at 9 pm and every Saturday morning at 9 am. This week, on Tuesday November 28th there will be no Yoga for Sleeping class…. Saturday morning’s class will still happen on December 2nd, and I hope to continue offering both classes through December and January, and possibly into the spring.
These free classes are for anyone who might like to drop in and do try yoga with me. You can have your camera off; you can have music in your space or practice in quiet… If you feel like turning your camera on and saying hello before the class starts and maybe waving or taking a bow together at the end, you’re welcome to do that; equally welcome to keep your camera off if you prefer.
Mainly it’s an opportunity to connect with your body… stretch… release… center… calm… and maybe rest a bit if you like, in the online company of other human beings. :0)

Hola… espero que estés bien.
Cosas enormes han estado sucediendo en el mundo en estas últimas semanas: sufrimientos enormes, y en muchos lugares también enormes expresiones de amor, solidaridad y cariño. Si te encuentras con mucho estrés en estos tiempos difíciles, también te envío amor y cariño.
Normalmente ofrezco clases de yoga en línea gratuitas todos los martes por la noche a las 9 p. m. y todos los sábados por la mañana a las 9 a. m. Esta semana, el martes 28 de noviembre no habrá clase de Yoga para el Sueño… La clase del sábado por la mañana seguirá siendo el 2 de diciembre y espero seguir ofreciendo ambas clases durante diciembre y enero, y posiblemente hasta la primavera.
Estas clases gratuitas son para cualquiera que quiera venir y probar el yoga conmigo. Puedes tener tu cámara apagada; puedes tener música en tu espacio o practicar en silencio… Si tienes ganas de encender tu cámara y saludar antes de que comience la clase y tal vez saludar o hacer una reverencia juntos al final, puedes hacerlo; Igualmente bienvenido a mantener la cámara apagada si lo prefiere.
Principalmente es una oportunidad para conectar con tu cuerpo… estirarte… soltarte… centrarte… calmarte… y tal vez descansar un poco si lo deseas, en la compañía en linea de otros seres humanos. :0)

I appreciate and feel so much gratitude for the long history of yoga in India: for the practitioners who carried it forward and developed it, and for the many diverse paths that they travelled with yoga over time, first in India and then out into other areas of the world. I love yoga practices for how they can support physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing, and for how they can strengthen a sense of self-determination, freedom, connection, and solidarity with the world around us.
So I want yoga to be accessible to anyone who wants to try it. For people of different backgrounds and histories and bodies of all kinds. Inexpensively or for free, whenever possible.

All of the yoga classes I teach are informed by my training and certification in Trauma Center Trauma-Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY), emphasizing skills that can minimize the long-term neurological and whole-body impact of overwhelming experiences, helping to strengthen resilience, immunity, and general well-being.

The world is full of beauty, magic, miracles, and patterns that induce wonder… Emergence is one of the best concepts I have learned for discussing this wonder. Emergence emphasizes critical connections over critical mass, building authentic relationships, listening with all the senses of the body and the mind.
The crisis is everywhere, massive massive massive. And we are small.
But emergence notices the way small actions and connections create complex systems, patterns that become ecosystems and societies. Emergence is our inheritance as a part of this universe; it is how we change. Emergent strategy is how we intentionally change in ways that grow our capacity to embody the just and liberated worlds we long for.
