Sometimes yoga teachers say the darndest things. 🤪
 
I went to a yoga class this week and the teacher said something that made my butt clench.
 
I understood the intention around it. I get what she was trying to say (perhaps) but it came out in such a way that was kinda triggering.
 
I think what she wanted was for us to be mindful. To pay attention to what we were doing, especially if we started to get fatigued. 
 
But here’s how it came out…  
Yoga teacher: “And even if we take crescent lunge a hundred times, do it perfectly every time.”
😬 A guy in the class actually laughed out loud when she said it. 😂
 
This brought back old memories of a time where I was so determined to nail a pose perfectly that I ended up hurting myself—physically and emotionally. For instance, I wanted to nail wheel pose so badly, because I thought not being able to do it meant something about me. 
 
If there’s one word I do not like to hear in my yoga class, it’s the “p” word—perfect.
 
I am a recovering perfectionist. Hearing that I’m supposed to do it perfectly every time is a recipe for absolute disaster.
 
I cannot not—no, will not—do it perfectly every time. I have practiced my @$$ off to get better at not being a perfectionist. Sometimes, I have to work at not doing imperfect perfectly. It gets kind of meta—and I don’t mean Facebook. Lol
 
Maybe you can relate—I need to throw perfect out the window. Rather than focusing on any form of perfection, I’m reaching for mindfulness. Mindfulness requires my awareness, focus, and attention to the present moment.
 
When I’m practicing being mindful, I can be more accepting of my thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations in the present moment.
 
I will take mindfulness over perfection any day. If I’m being mindful, then I can feel when I’m fatigued and take a rest, rather than drilling through it because I want to be perfect. Do you see the distinction?
 
Some could argue that striving for perfection is a way to improve and grow. While improvement may be desirable, it’s important to remember that yoga is a personal journey, and growth comes from self-awareness and self-compassion, not from chasing an unattainable standard.
 
This week’s episode of Baptiste Power Vinyasa Flow Yoga with Kari is a 15 minute mindfulness meditation. In mindfulness meditation we are sitting in the simplicity of the present moment.
 
In this meditation the focus is on your breath, hands, feet, and the crown of your head. 
 
Mindfulness meditation is a way to interact with yourself in the present moment through anchors like the breath and bodily sensation. While simple, these are powerful tools for getting the

Ever wake up feeling like your body played a game of 'pin the pain on the random body part' while you slept? 🤔
Bodies are like mischievous little gremlins sometimes, causing all sorts of unexpected aches and discomfort. One morning you're feeling like a well-oiled machine, and the next, you've got a thumb that's staging a protest.
Body’s are weird, right?
Like, majestic, necessary, and strange.
As my wise mentor once said, we're all just meat wads on this dirt ball, trying to make sense of it all! 🤷‍♀️
That’s how I felt this week when I woke up with my hand hurting. It wasn’t even the whole hand. It was my thumb knuckle down to my wrist. The other four fingers were fine, but my thumb was throbbing.
This week, my rebellious thumb decided to take center stage, refusing to grip or bear weight without causing me a world of hurt. But hey, I'm nothing if not adaptable!
Introducing this week's episode of Baptiste Power Vinyasa Flow Yoga with Kari: Hand's Free Yoga! This collection of YouTube yoga practices is designed for all of life's weird and unpredictable moments, giving you a little bit of something for everything.
One thing I’ve stopped teaching in the last year is to “stack your shoulder over your wrist.”
This is something you commonly hear taught in yoga classes.
When you stack your shoulder over your wrist, your wrist is at a full 90 degree angle, and that’s a ton of pressure on the wrist joint. If you place your hands just a bit in front of your shoulders, it removes some of this pressure. For me, that feels a lot better.
Next time you’re in a plank or table top position, see how that feels for you. Anyway, the pain in my thumb went away after like three days, but they were a miserable three days. I struggled to unzip anything, and couldn’t get a grip if my life depended on it.
There’s a metaphor in there somewhere. 😂
I hope you find this practice useful. Even if your hand isn’t hurting, you can give it a try and see how it feels for you. It’s good to know what’s possible before we need it so we can create variety when we do need it.
This 15 minute practice requires zero planking or down dogging. Those poses can place a lot of pressure in the wrists and hands.
If you’re curious about taking a longer class with me, I teach several live classes every week.
Classes are recorded and put into a library. So, if live classes aren't your thing, you can take the class anytime you like.
If you ever wake up with any phantom pains and need some help with how you can adjust your yoga practice accordingly, feel free to message me anytime.
I would love to help you troubleshoot your body.
Afterall, we’re just meat wads on the

I haven’t done this in a while (that may or may not be true 😂), but this weekend I binged a new Netflix show called Beef.
It was 💯 percent binge worthy TV. It starred Ali Wong and was the perfect combination of should I laugh or cry right now.
I absolutely loved it and I highly recommend it. The show is about two people who get into a road rage incident that turns into a full-blown obsession.
It’s kinda wild. In truth, I’m the person that will spend more time trying to decide what to watch rather than actually watching a show.
Being bogged down with a million choices overwhelms me and puts me into decision paralysis.
Sometimes Netflix feels like actual hell. Maybe you can relate, {{ subscriber.first_name }} —I love when people make recommendations because at least it’s vetted.
Somebody found this show worth watching, and so I can relax into my decision.
Until, of course, the show is over and then I have to start the process all over again. 🤦‍♀️ The same is true for me when I’m trying to decide on a yoga class.
Whether it’s staring blankly at a live class schedule or trying to decide on a class to take from a video-on-demand service, I become overwhelmed by all the choices.
What if I don’t like the teacher or the style? What if I get halfway in and the class is too hard or easy?
These are things that can take me out of the moment when I’m practicing, especially with a new teacher.
This is what I appreciate about being a one woman (& Katie!) show.
If you like my teaching and style then it removes the friction. It takes the guesswork out of the equation so you can relax into the experience knowing you have a teacher that has your back (and your hamstrings and your tight shoulders).
You have the option of attending live or on-demand classes. The only decision you really need to make is when will I take this class?
In this week’s episode of Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga with Kari podcast— I’m offering you a full length class! Rather than talking about how great it is, I’d rather show you.
This is a 60 minute class with about 8 minutes of seated meditation at the end. It’s powerful, and might get you a little sweaty, but you’ll feel focused and calm.
If you enjoy this class, consider there’s a whole library of classes just waiting for you! Every class is different, but the important parts remain consistent—the quality of instruction, the clarity of my speaking, and plenty of choices for you to scale the intensity up or down depending on how you feel that day.
With five live classes a week, plus a full library of on-demand classes, that’s like the Netflix equivalent of Downton Abbey—you’ll be set for awhile.
