Sun Salutation C with Michelle Thielen of YOGAFAITH

For whatever reason Sun Salutation C or Surya Namaskar C, is not as popular as A and B. Sun C (or Son C in YogaFaith) is a 12-posture yoga sequence that stretches and strengthens the body, often performed at the beginning of a yoga practice like A and B, or in a slower more meditative way at the end of practice. It's a variation on the traditional Sun Salutation sequence, and includes Upward Salute (Urdhva Hastasana) and Low Lunge (Anjaneyasana). There are many variations of all the Sun Salutations ~ practice and worship freely. I give you an example of integrating a passage with the Prayer of Jabez and the Lord's Prayer towards the end - as well as an embodied worship to Bethel's So Will I. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day. Genesis 1:1-5 Enjoy ~ learn more at https://yogafaith.org/

Breathe deeply through your nose and exhale through your mouth, spreading your fingers wide and feeling that beautiful stretch in your armpits and hips. 00:00:00 - Opening and Child's Pose Let's start by settling into a comfortable child's pose. Breathe deeply through your nose and exhale through your mouth, spreading your fingers wide and feeling that beautiful stretch in your armpits and hips. 00:01:58 - Downward Dog and Leg Lifts Now, let's move into downward dog. Straighten your legs, arms, and back. Lift each leg individually, pointing your toes down, and really engage those hamstrings. Feel the strength and stretch in every movement. 00:03:48 - Forward Folds and Halfway Lifts Next, we flow into forward folds and halfway lifts. Draw your chest forward, slide your fingers up your shins, and feel your shoulder blades engaging.

Slowly roll up to a standing position, engage your feet, and reach your arms overhead. Feel the energy rising within you. 00:07:24 - Sun Salutations and Warrior Poses Let's dive into sun salutations, flowing through plank, chaturanga, upward dog, and downward dog. As we move into warrior one, focus on your breath and alignment. Let each pose be an expression of your inner strength. 00:15:32 - Closing and Meditation We'll finish with a moment of meditation.

This is a 30-minute Gentle Flow. This class features variations of classic Moon Salutations and is a perfect cooling summer practice. Moon Salutations are complementary to Sun Salutations and focus on developing ease, relaxation, and deep peace, all while moving the body. We move with breath at a pace that allows for an experience of meditative flow, neither too fast, nor too slow. This flow covers a variety of lengthening and strengthening postures, but none are too demanding - standing crescent, crescent moon, goddess pose, triangle, pyramid, and camel. Feel free to swap out the sweaty power flow in summer practice routine for this inspired, serene one. You will still move dynamically and feel your body open up, and as a bonus, find a new level of relaxed presence. This overflow is great at any time of day, but I find it especially satisfying in the afternoon or in the evening. The vibe here is come as you are and leave more chill than you can imagine. Enjoy!

That is my mantra for this class. We flow through a slow warm-up, then proceed on to Sun Salutations emphasizing posterior chain strength, and then settle into dynamic standing postures that twist, expand, and open. We wrap up with gentle hip opening and backbending, and coast into a peaceful savasana.

8 Tips To Help Low Back Pain

Low Back Pain is one of the most common things that riders suffer from both on and off the bike. It can ruin the good time that mountain biking is supposed to provide for us and in extreme cases can even make riders quit riding. Even more frustrating is that there doesn't seem to be a consistent, predictable pattern with low back pain and it is often a mystery as to the specific underlying cause. But if you ignore it then it tends to get worse until you have to deal with it. I have experience with Low Back Pain both as a trainer who has helped riders overcome it but also as someone who has suffered from it. A long time ago I tweaked my back trying to deadlift too much weight and if I don't stay on top of it my back gets stiff and sore, plus I have to be conscious of it while training. This journey to find solutions for myself and the riders I've worked with has led me to discover some things that I feel can help a lot of riders out there. A lot of these things aren't your typical “stretch your hip flexors” advice you usually hear and they fill in some gaps that I think a lot of riders are missing in their attempts to fix their Low Back pain. First, before we get to the specific advice,  make sure that there isn't something medically wrong with your back. Have a doctor check it out and see if there is something specific going on like a pinched nerve or a bulging disc.  But if there isn't something specific wrong with your lower back and it just hurts at any time then there may be a few things you can do to help improve the situation. Here are 8 things that I've found can help improve your Low Back Pain: Be aware of your breathing. Improve your Hip Flexor strength with Isometric Exercises. Improve Hip mobility. Improve Spinal mobility. Have a Warm Up and a Pre-Ride Routine. Stand up for High Tension efforts. Use Flat Pedals. Use a Strength Training Program that creates a well balanced body. Be Aware Of Your Breathing. How you breathe affects a lot of things in your body, including your lower back. Several studies have found a link between bad breathing habits and low back pain, IMO most likely due to the inability of the core to properly stabilize under load (poor core stability has also been linked to low back pain). This means that you could be doing everything else right and still have low back pain. It's a low hanging fruit that can make a big difference so you may as well make it a part of your overall strategy. Good breathing will help to stabilize the midsection and reinforce good posture. You want to be aware of and practice good breathing habits on the bike, in the gym and during your everyday life. You can check out this post to learn more about optimal breathing habits and how to assess and optimize your breathing habits. Strengthen the Hip Flexors with Isometric Exercises.  The recommendation to strengthen the hip flexors might come as a surprise to some riders. We've been told for years that the problem was tight hip flexors and that we should avoid exercising them directly and focusing instead on stretching them. I've found that this doesn't consistently fix the problem and that there isn't a direct correlation to a muscle being “tight” and it also being strong. A weak muscle creates its own set of problems that need to be addressed and in some cases, addressing the strength issue helps with the mobility/ ROM issues. I've also found that using Isometric Exercises to strengthen the Hip Flexors offers a way to safely strengthen them, which can be an issue with movement based exercises. The 4 best Isometric Exercises that I've found for this purpose are the Single Leg Hip Flexor and Glute Bridge, Squat and Lunge. Start with wherever you're at and work up to holding the weakest point of the movement that you can get into with good posture and breathing for 60-90 seconds. Do them 1-3 times a week, focusing on improving your ROM and breathing each week along with the time you are holding for. Improve Hip Mobility.  Yes, you most likely do need to improve your hip mobility, you just need to focus on more than just the front of the leg (Quads and Hip Flexors). Your hips have 4 basic directions of movement and you want to do something to work on all of them. I like to use good old fashioned static stretching positions along with my breathing and a little bit of movement to help me get deeper into the stretch. The 4 stretches I like to do are the Quad/ Hip Flexor Stretch, Hamstring Stretch, Glute Stretch and Butterfly Stretch. You want to hold the stretches for as long as you can - 15 seconds is better than nothing and holding them for 5+ minutes might do you some good. In general, though, I recommend 30 seconds up to 2 minutes, 3-7 days a week.  Improve Spinal Mobility.  Another forgotten part of the low back pain problem is that your spine needs to be able to move freely and sometimes sticking points in that movement create excessive stress on the spine. Having a spine that moves freely that you can protect under load with tension is the ultimate goal and until both are achieved you may still be fighting low back pain. The 3 movements I like for working on my Spinal Mobility are the Sun Salutation, Twisty Slaps and Stick Windmill. Be sure to avoid pain when doing these movements and to use your breathing to help stabilize the spine and improve your ROM. BTW, if you don't feel comfortable with spinal twists then just do the Sun Salutation, you'll get a lot from it. Have a Warm Up Routine and a Pre-Ride Routine. Quality movement is pain free movement so your ultimate goal is to practice quality movement when you train and ride. Having a Warm Up and Pre-Ride Routine that focuses on improving your Hip and Spinal Mobility will help you to bring higher quality movement to your training and riding. Sitting in a car or sitting and spinning your way to the trailhead will most likely create stiffness in those areas, which will decrease your movement quality. Doing a few mobility movements like the Sun Salutation, Twisty Slap, Windmill and Reverse Lunge to High Knee can set you up for better movement potential on the trail which will improve your performance, endurance and decrease the chance of low back pain. Stand Up For High Tension Efforts. The posture you put a lot of tension on matters. Standing Postures are better for High Tension Efforts - better posture, better chest position for breathing, better core engagement, more hip extension, co-contraction at the knee at the bottom of the pedal stroke and less strain on the neck to look up. Seated Pedaling is good for Low Tension/ Recovery Efforts but the position and posture you are in is not good for creating a lot of tension. I know, you were told that Standing Pedaling is “less efficient” and to sit down on climbs to keep weight on the back tire. Seated Pedaling feels easier but easier isn't the same as “more efficient” - efficiency is a measurement of how much work is produced compared to the energy used to create it and in a lot of cases Standing Pedaling is actually “more efficient”. Remember too that Standing Pedaling is a new skill and you aren't very efficient at it, which makes it feel much harder. But once you use it for a while you get more efficient and it doesn't feel as hard. As far as keeping weight on the rear tire, you can keep weight on the back tire without having your butt on the seat. We've all seen examples of people climbing steep stuff while standing up so obviously it can be done and you don't have to keep your butt on the seat when climbing. Plus, you don't want weight on your rear tire, you want well timed pressure. If you needed weight then Clydesdale sized riders would never break traction on climbs but we know that isn't true so obviously there is more to it.  You want to use weight to create pressure, specifically pressure into the rear tire that is timed with your pedal stroke, and that is often done better from the Standing Position, especially on technical climbs. A lot of riding related back pain is from too much reliance on seated pedaling. Break away from it and watch your performance improve and your pain go away. Use Flat Pedals. This isn't which pedal system is the highest performance at the highest levels of competition, it is about which system is healthier for the body. As a 40+ year old rider odds are super high that you don't pay your bills based on your riding performance and longevity is a priority for you. Flat Pedals force you to use a more natural pedal stroke, which places the stress on the hips and not on unnatural pulling with the Hip Flexors and Low Back. They also allow for variability in your foot position and the pedal stroke that you can't get when you are locking into the pedal in the same foot position every time you ride. This variability has been found to correlate to fewer injuries and lower injury potentials and the current theory is that prefect, repeatable movement isn't possible or desired for long term health. Flat Pedals will take stress off of your lower back by allowing for more natural and more variable movement which, when coupled with Standing Pedaling, can make a huge impact on your lower back pain. And with the risk of this sounding like an infomercial, the Catalyst Pedals I designed take this concept to its full conclusion by creating the most natural support possible for your foot, which further decreases pain and power and performance. Use A Strength Training Program That Creates A Well Balanced Body. Odds are pretty high that if you have low back pain then you haven't been consistently following a strength training program that creates a well balanced body, especially if you have been riding a lot. Maybe you haven't been working out at all or maybe you've been doing something that creates more stress on the lower back, like programs that have you doing a lot of circuits to build cardio or “work capacity”, but either way you need to evaluate your overall approach to creating and maintaining a healthy, high performance body. You can check out the podcast I did on Strength Training Basics For The 40+ Year Old Rider to learn more about what to look for in a good strength training program but as you get older this becomes more important. So in conclusion, Low Back Pain is about much more than just stretching your Hip Flexors and by following this advice you can get your Low Back Pain under control and start to move in a better direction with how you move on and off the bike.  Until next time… Ride Strong, James Wilson

This podcast episode is a fascinating conversation with Scott Odom, about what happens when we start to see the world through a lens of “basic goodness.” Scott is a retired police officer, dedicated Buddhist practitioner, and former nomad who spent four years traveling the country in an airstream. We talk about practice, the process of transformation, and integrating the many roles we play in life. In this conversation, you'll hear about Scott's experiences working as a police officer, and what he learned from that work – both the positives and negatives. He describes how police work was empowering, but also draining, and that it eventually led him to seek a spiritual path in order to cope with the trauma he was immersed in every day.  In Buddhism, the concept of basic goodness is the idea that all beings have an essential nature that is benevolent, open, and clear. Thus, all beings are worthy of compassion and have the potential of waking up to this true nature. Once he began his practice, Scott had the experience of going back on patrol with this radically new perspective and the ability to be fully present with people in all sorts of intense situations. This helped him move away from survival mode thinking, where he tended to view people as either a threat to deal with, or neutral and irrelevant. We also talked about his relationship with the devotional aspects of Tibetan Buddhism, including chanting, bowing, and deity visualizations. And, we discussed the embodied movement aspects of the Ngondro practice, and what he gained from completing thousands of prostrations (somewhat similar to a Sun Salutation) in the early years of his journey. And, of course I asked Scott about his 4+ years leading a nomadic life in an airstream, after he retired from police work. He shares what it was like to be on a sort of traveling Dharma retreat in the “airstream of consciousness.”  I hope you'll enjoy listening to this wide-ranging conversation and come away inspired to follow your own path of wisdom, heart, and insight – however that might look! -- Guest Bio: Scott Odom is a Dharma practitioner in the Karma Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. He is a retired police officer and lives in the desert on the outskirts of Palm Springs, California, with his wife and two dogs. His spiritual path has included working with Ayahuasca in the Santo Daime church and exploring the Santeria/Espiritismo tradition. He currently leads an informal Dharma group that meets weekly for practice, readings, and Dharma talks.

Core Training For The 40+ Year Old MTB Rider

BikeJames Podcast

Core Strength and Core Training are two buzzwords that dominate discussions around improving your MTB specific fitness in the gym. It is pretty widely recognized that having a strong core can help improve your performance and prevent injuries but what is Core Strength and what is the best Core Training? In this episode of the Riding For A Lifetime Podcast I cover core training for  the 40+ year old rider. While a lot of the things I discuss are just good core training strategies, I look at them through the lens of the older rider and what we need to consider that the younger rider may not. BTW, in the podcast I talk a lot about the importance of the Windmill exercise for core training. If you haven't seen it before you can find a video demo of how I recommend you perform this exercise by clicking here. You can stream this episode or download the MP3 file by clicking the link below. You‌ ‌can‌ also find the podcast ‌on‌ ‌‌Itunes‌,‌‌ ‌Podbean‌,‌‌ ‌‌Spotify‌‌ ‌‌and‌ ‌all‌ ‌other‌ ‌major‌ ‌podcasting‌ ‌platforms.‌ ‌ You can also read a summary article from the notes for the podcast below… First, what are the “core muscles”? While a lot of people think of the abs and low back, the core actually involves everything in the torso - if you chopped off your arms, legs and head you'd be left with “the core”. This includes everything from the hips and the shoulder girdle. Second, what is the function of the core muscles? While you do need to be able to move through the core muscles, the main function for us is providing stability to protect the spine and to provide a platform to move from. This is a good time to point out that “stiffness” is not the same as “stability”. Stiffness is something that you can't turn on and off - it is always there - and stability is something you can turn on and off. This is why it is important to maintain or even improve your mobility in the core while you are building better core strength and stability. Something like the Sun Salutation from yoga goes a long way towards helping with this. Last, does mountain biking build adequate core strength and do we even need to worry about training our core muscles off the bike? I believe that the reason mountain biking has gotten a bad rap for not developing good core strength and needing a lot of supplemental core training is that most riders rely too much on seated pedaling. When you are seated your core is in a rounded position and isn't engaging the same way as when you are standing up. This develops core strength in a bad position and you don't get the same level of core strength due to the lack of engagement. This means you need to do core training in the gym to make up for this. But if you stand up more, especially during hard efforts, you build core strength in a more functional way that doesn't require as much work to correct. Even then you still can benefit from some core training like the ab wheel, leg raises and windmills as a way to build a strength reserve - one of the goals of strength training is to help you gain more strength than what you get from the sport alone so you have the reserve needed to handle unexpectedly high loads. But if more riders stood more to pedal then I don't think you'd need to worry as much about it and you wouldn't see as much low back pain, which usually gets blamed on poor core strength as well. So, in summary, the core is the platform that provides stability when we move and while you can get better core engagement from standing up more on the bike, it does help to train your core muscles off of the bike to build the strength reserve needed to increase performance and help prevent injuries. Remember too that if you are doing freeweight exercises then your core muscles get engaged from simply lifting weights - squats, deadlifts and even things like standing bicep curls and lateral raises all build core strength so you don't need to go crazy with core specific training in the gym. With that said, there are two skills that often get overlooked when talking about core training that are vital to your performance and injury prevention. The first is the ability to “twist” through the core in a safe way. You want to be able to move from the hips and t-spine (upper back) and not from your lumbar/ lower back area. This is the movement skill behind cornering and something that will make a huge impact on your riding. The best way I've found to train this skill is through Windmill exercises - Stick, Kettlebell and Steel Mace. The second is how breathing impacts your core strength and ability to use it on the bike. Your body will prioritize breathing over bracing, which means that if you aren't breathing with the right muscles then your body has to use core muscles that should be used to brace instead. You can have adequate core strength but still struggle to use it on the trail and/ or avoid low back pain because of bad breathing habits. You can avoid this through breathwork training and through focusing on proper breathing during strength and cardio training. Proper core function and adequate core strength are necessary for performance on the bike and for helping to prevent overuse injuries, especially in the low back. There are 4 things you can do to accomplish this… Stand up more on the bike. Focus on freeweight exercises in the gym. Use exercises like the Ab Wheel, Leg Raises and Windmills to focus on core strength. Improve your breathing habits so you can use that core strength on the trail. Core training is important but it doesn't need to be complicated. Use these training tips to help you improve your core strength and core function so you can have more pain free fun on the bike as you get older. Until next time… Ride Strong, James Wilson p.s. In this podcast I talk about the impact breathing has on core strength and function. If you want to improve your breathing then you need a program that addresses this important factor in fitness and longevity. The Guide To Better Breathing for MTB is the only breathing program for mountain bikers on the market. In it you will find ways to assess and improve your breathing, workouts to help you improve your cardio fitness and ways to use your breathing to improve your mindset around competition. You can find out more about this unique program by clicking here. The 40+ MTB Rider Training Program also has a breathing section along with strength and mobility training specifically designed for the 40+ year old rider. It is a comprehensive program that can be done at home with little or even no equipment. You can find out more about it and get your copy by clicking here. Getting older doesn't have to mean slowing down, it simply means that you have to train smarter. I hope that these tips and programs can help you do just that.

This is a 35-Minute Power Flow. We begin standing and proceed right into a ladder flow practice - each round of Sun Salutations progressively builds on the previous one. We revisit postures again and again, while growing our range, strength, and presence. We do not stay in postures long, and this is a true breath to movement practice. The framework of this flow consists of lunging Sun Salutations, and each time we come through, we add on power transitions, prone backbends, standing postures, and balance postures. We build up to extended hand to foot pose (utthita hasta padangusthasana) and full side plank (vashisthasana). This class winds down with twists, side body lengthening, and a tad of corework. If you are looking to move, breathe, and be challenged, this class is for you. If you don't feel like being challenged, this class is still for you because, as always, lots of modifications are offered. Enjoy!

Portals of Perception

Many of us are getting robbed every day, whether we know it or not. We just may be robbing ourselves, too, without fully understanding the consequences of our behavior. It could be through ignorance, lack of attention, or bad decisions. Whatever the cause, we're getting robbed of the very energy that enables good health, inspiration, and possibility of higher connection, all to the detriment of our physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing. What do we mean? Throughout Portals we explore the energetic nature of human life: our physical systems, mind and body balance, creativity, and natural connections to higher intelligence and expanding awareness, all depend on different levels and natures of energy. Every feeling, idea, and thinking pattern carries energetic potential; we are continually generating or consuming energy from internal and external sources. But what quality of energy? Nourishing or depleting, toxic or regenerative, we can choose. In the latest chapter of the Portals series “Current Openings: What the World Doesn't Quite Get Yet”, Aviv Shahar and David Price Francis guide us through a deeper look at our energetic nature and the five basic fuels we use to generate energy. They explore the various energy ‘robbers' that can leave us susceptible to imbalance and ill health.We live between two worlds: the visible and matter; and the invisible and energy. We need to understand both, and the purpose or direction in which we travel in both worlds. These core self-insights — how to manage our energy, our cycles, our emotions — ought to be part of the knowledge of a life, but are usually left out of education. As the size of the energy problem and challenge grows, new energy potentials and energy sources are coming online to help us re-naturalize to planetary and universal frequencies. The invitation is to reground in our natural system; to become more aware of how we consume each of the five basic types of energy and become more intelligent about the value of sleep. It's the predicament of being addicted to the easy fast solution, easy fast food, easy fast energy sources. We develop our willpower by growing our will not power — what we say ‘no' to. It expands what we can say ‘yes' to, and uses our energies in a more purposeful way.This conversation is part of the continuing Portals discovery into what is emerging on the frontiers of human experience in this time of profound change. Information about upcoming special events can be found on the Events page. Also visit and subscribe to our YouTube channel.TWEETABLE QUOTES “My understanding of the word ‘ education ' in its origin is that it comes from the Latin word "educare," which apparently means to lead out from inside. ” ( David ) “Well, I think beginning today because it's always beginning in the now, what do we call a human with no energy? But I thought of a dead body. That's what a human is — without any energy whatsoever — and even then, there's a process of decomposition that causes certain kinds of energies to leave. So we compose and we decompose as human beings, right? But for a human being with no energy input, you can say the closest thing to it is a coma. But when you go beyond that stage, we move into the process we call death. So death is the departure of the energies that keep us alive. ” (David) “If somebody drinks polluted liquid over a period of time, they're going to disrupt their system through the liquid food. If someone starves themselves of oxygen, or if you've taken yourself too far away from a source of full spectrum lighting, that's where in the northern climates now they have special light boxes to emit full spectrum lighting that they found brings greater harmony and benefit to the human system. So we can cause that erosion and fragmentation through environmental reasons. ” (David) “So I think of the idea of the ‘ Sun Salutation ' in yoga; it's not a posture, although it is as well, but it's the idea of going out into the sun, being in the sunshine, and getting nutrients from the sun. So this would be structuring our lives for maximal nutrition at four levels, and then in the fifth level, it will be being aware of what we're introducing ourselves to. So something about our eyes - it's very interesting.” (David) RESOURCES MENTIONED Portals of Perception WebsiteAviv's LinkedIn Aviv's TwitterAviv's WebsiteEnergy Worlds

A weekly magazine-style radio show featuring the voices and stories of Asians and Pacific Islanders from all corners of our community. The show is produced by a collective of media makers, deejays, and activists. SURRIJA  Our guest tonight is no stranger to your ears. She is most recently known for being the voice of Opera Evelyn in the song “Opera Fight” in Everything Everywhere All at Once that premiered in 2022. Tonight we're talking about music, diving deep and doing the work, and everything Surrija.  SURRIJA (self-titled album) is an electro art pop rebirth that plays with asymmetry, textures, glitch, electronic treatment of intense classical training, and holding complex emotions in one place. The album features drummer Matt Chamberlain (David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Fiona Apple, Sean Watkins, Tori Amos, Perfume Genius), co-produced by Surrija, Sophocles, and Maxwell Gualtieri. After a break from music, she spent four years developing this record and wanted to make music that more closely reflected her feral tendencies. The result is unhinged and off-kilter. Earmilk claims “is simply on a different wavelength … chilling and seductive..”. Classical piano training, degree in choral conducting, singer-songwriter/folk roots, and theatre work all made for a unique sum in this album. “I'm made of a lot of genres and it was always audible. In the end I still think I'm best at putting my hands on the instrument, being tactile, hearing organics. Electronic experimentations of this landed me squarely in this new sound.” Surrija is about finding voice and is a strong genre pivot from her previous songwriter roots.

This is a 50-minute Classic Flow that offers a well-rounded practice strongly rooted in breath. If you have ever wondered whether vinyasa yoga is really breathing meditation disguised as movement, you may find the answer in this class. The anatomical focus of this practice is the core, and we work on both its strengthening and lengthening, while performing absolutely no sit-ups. All core-work is seamlessly built into the flow, the vinyasa variations, and transitions during Sun Salutations and standing postures. That's right, there will be no reps of anything. Plenty of options are given for leveling up or taking it easy. No matter which route you take, this class leaves you feeling powerful and balanced. Additionally, it offers a simple pranayama technique for immediate relaxation that you can take with you anywhere.

Work and Rest, two necessary phases of everything we do in life. Yet, in today's world, we often get stuck in the work mode, thinking that's the only way to productivity. But yoga teaches otherwise.In yoga, you need both the postures that are going to challenge us and energize us as well as the postures that are going to quiet us and allow us to reflect inward. If you don't have a rhythm of these postures, you'll likely leave your yoga practice feeling out of sorts or either overly anxious or lethargic. But if the practice you do communicates a rhythm and a balance in what you're doing, you too, will feel that way.In today's episode find out why who you are on the yoga mat is who you are off the yoga mat, even if you don't practice yoga.Resources:Downloadable video:  Energetic Rhythms Yoga Moon SalutationDownloadable video:  Basic Sun Salutation To help you live in flow and feel more at ease in life even when unexpected things come up, download the Daily Rhythms Tracker.

Oh the irony. The sweet, sweet irony of going to yoga class to "find balance" or "inner peace" only to find ourselves rushing through Sun Salutations or consistently choosing the "hardest" variation of a pose even if we are way out of our depth. We've all been there. Slowing down is hard. It doesn't sound sexy or ambitious or entertaining. And yet, if we profess the desire to better manage our stresses or to navigate our daily lives with more ease and efficiency and less, well, self-torture, then learning to slow down is a worthy practice.Jason and I dive deeply into this subject this week and we offer ideas for setting the intention to slow down in your yoga practice.

One of the clearest and most direct ways to practice gratitude is to pay attention to the sensory experience of your body—to notice and honor the subtle sensations of simply being alive and in relationship with the world around you. In today's Embodied Meditation, we'll do that by moving gently and simply through a pared down, seated version of a Sun Salutation. This staple of yoga movement practices was designed to bring us into our bodies and into a state of gratitude. Our version today is one that's accessible anywhere you can find a comfortable seat, so it's perfect for inserting a dose of gratitude and soothing movement into any part of your day.

It's Hard to Have a Bad Day When I Hit These (Yours?)   Every day I hit 101 Targets in the Heroic App.   As I joke with our team and with some friends, “101 Targets a day keeps the daimon in play!”   I can assure you that it's *really* hard to have a *really* bad day when you start your day recommitting to being your best self in your Energy, Work, and Love and then do 101 things you KNOW help you stay plugged in.   But…   Don't take my word for it.    Test it!     Now…   I recommit to over 30 Heroic Energy Targets every morning. I've basically breadcrumbed my day with what I KNOW I do when I'm at my best so I can make that prior best my new baseline.    My #1 Energy Target?   “In Bed for 9-10 Hours”    I haven't missed that ONCE since we launched the app. Sleep is a sport for me and THAT (process!) Target is the #1 reason why my (outcome Target!) average Oura Sleep Score has been 90+ every month for nearly 2 years.    For curious souls, my current Heroic Energy Top 3 includes:   I. In Bed for 9-10 Hours II. AM Meditation (1%) III. Movement (30 Min)   Just hitting THOSE three Targets would be enough to keep me feeling pretty darn Zesty and provide bumper rails to make sure I never got too off track.   But, of course, I'm not trying to keep myself on track, I'm trying to see just how Heroically I can show up and just how much Soul Force I can activate as I strive to help YOU show up with a fully-activated Soul Force of 101!   Which is why I also recommit to a Digital Sunset, PM Meditation (1%), my 1 Sun Salutation, 10 Pull-ups, 100 Burpees, 1,000 Meters of Rowing, 10,000 Steps and a couple dozen other targets.   But that's not quite the point of this +1.   When I started writing it I planned to share a new 2 minute and 43 second Heroic meditation with you but I'll save that for our next +1.   Today's +1 is this…   What are YOUR Top 3 Heroic Energy Targets?   What are the THREE simple things you do when YOU are plugged in and at your most-Heroically-Energized best?   Seriously.   What are they?   REMEMBER!!!   (Yes, I'm shouting.)   Life doesn't need to be so hard.   We just need to step back from TikTok and the latest must-see Netflix show for a moment or three, get clarity on who we are and what we do when we're at our best and then… BE THAT best version of ourselves and DO THE THINGS that best version of ourselves does!!   As always…   Not once in a while and DEFINITELY not only when we feel like it.    Nope…   All day, EVERY day ESPECIALLY on those days when we don't feel like it.   THAT, I repeat, is how we develop the antifragile confidence to KNOW that we have what it takes to show up and respond to every challenge life throws at us while we give the world all we've got.   Of course, we architected the E N T I R E Heroic app to help you move from Theory to Practice to Mastery TODAY but whether you choose to use our tools or some other set of tools, please please please please please take the time to get clear on who you are at your best then recommit to being that version of yourself and doing the things that best version of you does TODAY.   We need you at your Heroic best.   Day 1. All in.   Let's GO!!!
