Yoga for Getting Over It
I’m thrilled to be bringing the Yoga for Getting Over It workshop to Jivamukti Jersey City on February 20 (click here for more details and to sign up), because Jivamukti is my yogic home when I’m in New York City.
What I’ve loved about practicing at Jivamukti is the way they encourage freedom and exploration on the mat. That’s what I’m doing in this workshop, with an emphasis on finding the tools you already have within to foster radical transformation.

Focus & Find Your Superpower
In order to focus, you have to know what you want. Yoga makes that possible, but not because having an arsenal of yoga poses is what I want out of life. For me it’s a baseline sense of wellness that enables me to feel connected to the people around me. Simply put, if I feel like crap it’s very hard to care about your problems.
Without actively needing to do much except yoga, the practice came off my mat and enabled my deepest desire. First I had to make it to my mat on the regular.

In yoga there are three main points of focus–the drishti (what you look at), the bandhas (control of internal, subtle muscles), and the breath (you know, breathing
