Today's inquiry: What is compassion vs empathy? What serves us - what immobilizes us? And others. We do a long set of ego-eradicator breath of fire, slow bellows & deep diaphragmatic breath. This is beginner friendly with the encouragement to take breaks.

"To be unrecognizable" is a new saying in wellness zeitgeist - is the opposite of what this practices suggests. To recognize yourSELF is the ultimate path - this is the invitation today as we slowly close off 2025. We do a basic breath set alternating nostrils and ending with a basic breath of fire.

This breathwork practice is calming, slow and deep diaphragmatic engagement using 4-7-8, 4-8, 5-5 and a slow circular breath set to end. This is excellent for adrenal fatigue, calming, slowing down and the opposite of Kundalini breath.

We begin with four preparatory practices: lions breath + a tongue stretch (feels sooo good for headache and jaw strain), Agni Sara (great for digestive system stress) and Brahma Mudra (rich, slow deep breath, releases the neck) followed by upregulating bellows with spinal movements

We begin slow (Brahma Mudra) and then amp it up with the physiological sigh in a faster repetition and spinal movement. We then end with Wim Hof. It is primarily up-regulating and awakening. The invitation is a core teaching of obstacles and pauses.

Guest teacher, Jayme, teaches a class that is catered to the follicular phase, for those of you with a menstrual cycle. This is a "slow flow, close to the ground and invitational" - bringing in a sense of curiosity. She reaches a 30-day long program catered to the menstrual cycle called "Sacred F...

Today we do the four prep practices I learned from my teacher: jivha Banda, Lions Breath, Agni Sara (for belly) and Brahma Mudra. This practicing is down-regulating and beginner friendly! (And weird!)

This is a deeply restful practice using intention and breath.

We use ego eradicator, the physiological sigh and Wim Hof breath in this advanced breathwork practice. This is not suitable for beginners.

This is a form of MBSR - mindfulness based stress reduction. It is a great practice if you're exhausted, feeling heavy, have excess adrenaline - this is a good practice for you. It is supine, the screen will be darkened, eyes closed and a practice of breath awareness.

Today's practice integrates hips, hamstrings and a spinal twist with an optional breath type that is helpful for rejuvenating and down-regulating your system: 4-7-8 breath

I speak briefly to the physiology and psychology of fear-based thinking can eclipse or arrest our ability to be present to gifts and gateways. Disarming ego, jealousy, am I relevant? or fear of missing out. We do a Kundalini Kriya for "elevation"

I speak to temporary discomfort in breathwork and its purpose. This is an excellent breath set for those who hold tension and stress in the shoulders and lungs.

This is an advanced breathwork practice that weaves in a gratitude practice. Gratitude has been shown in research to instantly boost serotonin.

This is a juicy flow practice that focuses on opening your hips in all of their directions. We then end on the floor doing one of my favorite 4-part sequences that opens the hips and hamstrings: quad stretch, half splits, pigeon prep and ending in virasana (hero's pose) and a backbend.

This is a part of the men's retreat series, however, anyone can do this practice. The screen is darkened and this is a tension-release practice that may help you drop into sleep. We do a squeeze and relax practice with breath. This is a mindfulness practice as well.

This week I'll be sharing some yogic principles and weaving them into our breathwork. Today "ahimsa" teaches us to practice compassion for ourselves as a practice of non-violence. We do 3 sets of kaphalabhati, 2 sets of slow bellows breath and end with alternate nostril breathing.

This is a breath practice that also involves some stretches for the hips and hamstrings. It is an advanced practice not suitable for beginners or those needing a gentle practice.

This is an all-levels practice of breath. We do five forms of pranayama to stabilize the mind body connection: Nadi Shodana, 4 Stroke Breath, Sitali, Ujjayi and Kaphalabhati breath.

This is an advanced breath practice not suitable for raw beginners. We isolate all parts of your spine to invigorate it, increase blood flow and helps to purify your "channel" for creativity and staying receptive to the flow of life. We begin with one long set of ego eradicator with breath of fir...

This is more of a cooling, down regulating breathwork practice filmed on the heels of a full moon. We use cooling breath, "moon piercing" breath and visualization to evoke calmness around a chosen dream. The invitation is to visualize a dream of yours, notice your inner critic - and do it anyway.

We focus on the gut and breathwork with the knowledge that the "gut brain" is where 90% of our serotonin is produced. What also has been shown to stimulate serotonin? Gratitude. The two are mixed together in today's practice.

The invitation and dialogue today is in support for those of you choosing sobriety...or if you are working to eliminate any kind of addiction.... this is an advanced breath practice that will get you high naturally.

This practice includes some basic seated asana as well alongside breathwork. It is somewhat advanced but doable for newer students. It helps move myofascial tension as well as a bad mood, fatigue or negativity in the mind. One of my favorites!
