I have taught a few yoga asana classes in the last few days, and have fueled them with UZAZU. I’ve offered specific dynamics to amplify certain yoga poses. The feedback has been wonderful. The experience powerful. Participants have thanked me afterwards for the richness of the experience.
Offer an out-of-the-ordinary gift to a yoga class [...]
Continue Evolving →I can hardly believe it’s been three weeks. Nothing changes, and EVERYTHING changes. I am excited to be back.
I have learned so much during my intensive time with UZAZU that I cannot possibly contain it all in a post. Much has changed, become richer and deeper.
There will be a lot of changes in [...]
Continue Evolving →One of my core questions recently, one that would not give up as an intention or sankalpah, was this: I deserve to take a stand for what I know to be true, and my heart knows.
There’s much to unpack there, but perhaps you simply resonate with pieces of it. Ask me and I’ll gladly [...]
Continue Evolving →Am I that hard to get to know? I love connecting with people. I’m good at connecting with persons. That is, one person at a time. More than that and I’ll connect a bit less.

When I think about my own mortality and what it would be like to not get to give my deepest gifts to the world, [...]

“According to most studies, people’s number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death. Death is number two. Does that sound right? This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral, you’re better off [...]
Continue Evolving →“I have enough soul for you to feel. I want to feel your soul.”
This is neither a line from the Exorcist nor from any of Will Ferrell’s movies.
Instead this idea was the culmination of my intentions as we practiced resonance, and in particular, inhale ü and exhale o. I’d like to say I discovered [...]
Continue Evolving →Call me wimpy and I’ll get all RBWI* on you.
Sensation is the basic of life. Primitive life all over the planet runs on the basics of energy, heat, pushing, pulling, moving, pulsing otherwise stay away from deep contemplative thinking. When we practice pure sensation in UZAZU, we can get very primitive, and we can [...]
