Next time someone says “that’s not yoga” send them this, and ask them what defines yoga for them?

Yoga is a practice of Inquiry/Self Reflection. If you leave your body out of that reflection and inquiry you are missing a huge opportunity to experience your self.

Knee Pain in Pigeon? It won’t just go away and will likely get worse. 2 options to try:

1. Remain passive but add a self adjustment - use your hand to rotate the thigh outward
2. Change it to an active pose, engage your buttocks and deep external rotators of the hip. You may find that you only need 10 seconds of this or you may need to hold.

Teachers:
Want to improve bio-mechanics, anatomy, verbal cues, visual demonstration and cultivate a community that is physically intelligent and skillful?

I spent a year of my life learning how to 3D animate in order to make this course 😂, but more importantly it’s the accumulation of 18 years of studying anatomy and biomechanics as it relates to yoga and functional movement patterns.

No gate keeping, I want to share the skills and tools I’ve learned about muscles and joints with you.

If you want to improve your understanding of how your body works this is for you.

If you are a yoga teacher it’s a no brainer, absolutely must have course. Link in my bio

If you are using pigeon as a “Hip Opener” or to help improve functionality and maintain hip health than stop sleeping in your pigeon pose. Like all the other poses, it’s not Savasana.

Before you get too upset, I have nothing against using pigeon to down regulate the nervous system in which case don’t read the rest of this as it doesn’t apply.

Functionality of our joints depends on muscle integrity. Integrity requires the ability to deliberately engage the muscles that surround the joint regardless of the joint alignment. Most people struggle to activate muscles as they are placed in a lengthened state. This inhibits range of motion decreasing the available functional movement - meaning your ability to use your body is limited to a small selections of alignments.

Don’t confuse this video with “alignment”, the alignment isn’t important. The engagement is.

Want to learn bio mechanics and infuse your teaching with engagements to improve functionality?

October 8-10: 30 Hour Chromatic Training

CHROMATIC YOGA

08/22/2026

The Chromatic technique we use to cultivate the “Aha moment” for students is to find the smaller step. For example in CHROMATIC YOGA we teach the actions in a less stressful, more accessible environment before trying to get a student to get it in the pose itself.

This the process we call “Sequencing” which is different the how most teacher trainings use the word. For us it’s not stringing a bunch of postures together, we call that the choreography of the class or the “style”. Sequencing in Chromatic is the postures/drills/exercises that are all aligned with the purpose of the class - appropriately preparing the body.

Want to learn the Chromatic Sequencing System, build more creative, effective classes that help your students access their potential?

Is this “accessible”? Truthfully it’s significantly more accessible than balancing the pose. Whether it’s approachable for “everyone”, I’d say definitely not. However, there is ALWAYS a smaller step towards the challenge but to find that step requires BOTH anatomical knowledge and creativity.

I would argue this is the reason most teachers either avoid teaching challenging postures, OR they simply say “if it’s in your practice”. Teaching someone to get into something that is not yet in their practice requires expertise, courage and humility.

This is why I created CHROMATIC YOGA a system that prioritizes a step by step instruction. Students benefit and advance from a practice that is intelligently crafted. Chromatic teachers utilize the system to help students make break throughs through structured sequencing fuels by knowledge of the body and their own creativity.

There is always a smaller step.

If you are a yoga teacher and you want to advance your skills in bio-mechanics and learn to apply this to your teaching 👉 Oct. 8-10th Chromatic 30h Training

Wait, what does this feel so good? The kinesthetic feedback that the straight bar gives you feels like it magically activates all the right muscles.

Whats actually happening is it stabilizes the shoulders which allows your nervous system to focus entirely on the muscles of spinal rotation.

Burnout happens when your actions are no longer fueled by your passion/inspiration. Typically you become great at what you do and your learning curve flat lines.

Something needs to shift

In Chromatic yoga we acknowledge the importance of inspiration to stay passionate about what and/or how we are sharing.
