New Year’s Day is often considered a time for resolving, correcting, directing, redoubling. What if instead, it was a day of still point — a moment when the last year is over, and we can let go of those efforts, those judgements, those conceptions? And pause. And breathe.

Today Wendy and I talk about the value of unconditional love, including what it is, what it isn't and how to practice and experience it.

Today we head to meditation class. Enjoy the intro talk, then do the meditation practice (just not while driving!)

Some yogis say yoga isn't about yoking the body to anything. Wendy and I discuss.

Join us for our morning discussion of yoga over coffee. We discuss Shiva-Shakti, the two aspects of life.

In our contentious times, should a yogi be somehow above it all? I respond to the criticism that I should.

A discussion and meditation using the elemental model Tantra Yoga uses to describe experience.

Wendy Newton and I talk about the playbook the administration is using to promote falsehoods. We then discuss the ways we can both stay concerned and stay healthy.

Wendy Newton and I discuss a description of the "play of life" that yoga describes. By cultivating the right attitude, through practice, we can have a deep appreciation for whatever happens, whether your mind wants to call it happy or painful.

A talk and meditation practice to help bring radiance into your own life and that of others.

Today we talk about real yoga, actual happiness, and deep living! I share a meditation practice that distinguishes the Nature/Goddess force and Consciousness to provide a perspective on life that helps us live in balance while life has its ups and downs.

A talk about the chakras, plus a meditation using the "chakra bhedana," a kriya practice.

A talk followed by a full meditation practice that gives you a powerful tool for inspiration.

Wendy Newton, Mona Anand, and I discuss why we're hosting a retreat in the Hamptons May 27-30

Mona Anand, a co-owner of ISHTA Yoga, and I took teacher training together, but we both intended it to help us learn more about yoga. We both think of teacher training as training to be a yogi — to understand more deeply what it means to have and draw on this powerful practice.

Thoughts about our chaotic time, and how the philosophical symbol of the "granthis," or knots can help us move from fear and anger toward clarity and perspective.

Join my intro talk or full meditation class to talk Sattva Guna

Today we go to class for a meditation on the heart.
