A view from the office today and for the month of June 🌊☀️

What a gift to spend the day teaching the students at LIS School at the amphitheatre at These kids were ready to dive in, explore, and discover their inner warrior through a sequence helping us build our Warrior poses.
I love teaching this age group. They remind me that learning happens best when it’s engaging, dynamic, and full of curiosity. Above all, they teach me the importance of keeping things moving, keeping things fun, and making space for exploration.

At its heart, yoga is a dance with ourselves… an opportunity to listen, feel, adapt, and play. Every pose becomes a conversation with our bodies, our breath, and our cells.

Today we explored the idea that the greatest warrior is not the one who conquers others, but the one who learns to meet and master themselves. In yoga, strength and courage are built one breath, one wobble, and one moment of awareness at a time.

Thank you, LIS, for a wonderful day by the ocean. 🙏.

Such a throw back to my son getting into BKS Iyengar’s light on yoga and creating his own little rap interpretation of this key philosophy underpinning yoga. Restrain the fluctuations of consciousness (vrittis) and kleshas, obstacles: egoism, ignorance, attachment, aversion, clinging to life.

Most people spend their entire lives trying to fix what is outside them.

The wrong circumstances. The wrong people. The wrong systems. The wrong world. And there is always something genuine in that impulse, because the world does contain real problems that deserve real attention. But Gurdjieff is pointing at something that most people never consider: the relationship between the inner life and the outer world is not what we assume it to be.

G.I. Gurdjieff was one of the most enigmatic and demanding spiritual teachers of the twentieth century. His central observation, arrived at after decades of study across Eastern and Western traditions, was this: most human beings are asleep. Not literally, but functionally. They move through life on autopilot, driven by habits, reactions and mechanical patterns they have never examined. And a sleeping person cannot change the world in any meaningful sense, because they cannot even see it clearly. They see only the projection of their own interior state.

This is what every deep wisdom tradition has understood. The Hermetic law: as within, so without. The Buddhist teaching that the world arises in dependence on the mind that perceives it. The Stoic insistence that the only thing within your control is your own response. They all arrive at the same place. The outer world is not a fixed reality that you navigate. It is a reflection of the consciousness you bring to it.

When you change genuinely, not superficially but at the level of how you actually perceive and relate to existence, the people around you change in how they respond to you. The situations you attract change. The meaning you find in what surrounds you changes. Not because you forced anything. Because the mirror now reflects something different.

The figure in this image does not reach outward. The light radiates outward on its own. That is the teaching.

What would change in your world if you directed toward yourself the same energy you have been directing outward?

"When we practice yoga, we are better able to put our problems into perspective. We can't pretend they don't exist; we still have to deal with them. But with the physical, mental, and emotional flexibility that yoga gives us, we can move more easily, bend and flow with the stresses of life."
