    My Process for Managing Styāna, Samśaya and Pramādā

    Patanjali lists 9 disturbances or Antarayas that can take us out of practice and Yoga. Today I’m addressing the 3 I think can be most problematic for Yoga Teachers when it comes to the business part of what it is that we do and suggesting my. own personal strategy for overcoming them.

    4 Business Reasons to Film Your Personal Practice

    4 Business Reasons to Film Your Personal Practice

    I’ve been experimenting with filming my own practice over the past few months and I’ve got some really useful insights to share. NOTE: filming your practice must not come at the expense of you being present and doing your Yoga for YOU. This is not about changing, modifying or performing for the camera. It IS about using something you’re already doing in 4 new ways. Enjoy!
