There was so much love in the room this morning.

Michelle brought it. The community held it. And for 75 mins — or however long we were together — the outside world didn’t exist.

This is what the built this studio for.

Not the postures. Not the heat. Not the credentials on the wall.

This. The way a room full of people who showed up for themselves somehow end up showing up for each other.

Thank you Michelle for leading with your whole heart today. And thank you to every single person who walked through that door this morning.

You are the reason this place is alive.

Most people think Vinyasa means flow.

It doesn’t.

The Sanskrit root means — placing in a special way.

And underneath every Vinyasa class are three sacred pillars most students were never taught.

Called Tristhana in Sanskrit.

01 — Ujjayi Pranayama
The ocean breath. Not just breathing — the breath that leads every movement and activates your entire nervous system.

02 — Drishti
The focused gaze. Where the eyes go the mind follows. Every posture has a specific point of focus. That gaze is the practice.

03 — Bandha
The energy locks. Root lock. Belly lock. What prevents life force from dissipating — and directs it upward.

Together they transform a physical sequence into a moving meditation.

Vi — ny — a — sa.
Placing in a special way.

Every class you have ever taken was always this. Now you know. 🙏

Want to feel all three in your own body?

Lisa Schrempp and I are hosting Foundations of Vinyasa Flow — September 26th · Sumit’s Yoga Shea · Scottsdale.

Live demonstration · Personal adjustments · Sun Salutations, Warriors and Triangles rebuilt from the ground up.

Which of the three is hardest for you to maintain — breath, gaze, or locks? 👇

Sun Salutations. Warriors. Triangles.
Foundations of Vinyasa Flow is two hours dedicated entirely to that rebuild.

We cover three sequences that appear in almost every yoga class you will ever take —

Most yoga students practise for years — and still have the same foundational habits they developed in their very first class.

Not because they are not dedicated.

Because nobody ever took the time to rebuild the foundation.

Here is what makes this workshop different from anything you have done before.

We do not just teach it. We demonstrate it.

You will see exactly what correct alignment looks like — in real bodies, in real time — so your eye and your body can finally learn the difference between what you think you are doing and what is actually happening.

We will show you the most common mistakes — the subtle misalignments that most people carry for years because nobody ever pointed them out. The things that quietly limit your practice, create unnecessary strain, and prevent the deeper postures from ever becoming available.

And we will work with you personally — hands-on adjustments and assists from two teachers with over 50 combined years of teaching and practice — so your body can feel proper alignment rather than just think about it.

Because the body learns through feeling.

Not through instruction alone.

Look at this.

Different bodies. Different histories. Different numbers of years on the mat.

All reaching for the same floor.

The person who has been practising for ten years and the person who walked in for the first time last month are doing the same thing right now.

They are trying.

Not performing. Not competing. Not measuring themselves against the person on the next mat.

Just — reaching.

And here is what I have learned in 28 years of watching this happen in room after room after room.

The distance between your fingertips and the floor is not a measure of your flexibility.

It is a measure of where you are today.

Not where you will be tomorrow. Not where you should be. Not where the person next to you is.

Where you are. Today. In this body. In this breath. In this moment.

I have watched people touch the floor for the first time after two years of trying and cry.

Not from pain.

From the recognition that the body they thought was limited — was not limited at all.

It was just waiting.

Waiting for enough patience. Enough consistency. Enough mornings of showing up when it would have been easier not to.

Every centimetre between your hands and the floor is not failure.

It is the practice.

Every breath in that space is the practice.

Every morning you come back to the mat and reach again — knowing you may not touch today — that is the practice.

The practice is not what happens when you arrive.

The practice is the reaching.

To every person in this photo —

You are exactly where you are supposed to be.

Keep reaching. 🙏

This is why I do this.

Not the postures. Not the technique. Not the years of study or the certifications on the wall.

This.

A room full of people who showed up for themselves on a Saturday afternoon. Who breathed through something uncomfortable and stayed anyway. Who gave their body two hours of the kind of attention most of us never learned to give ourselves.

I have been teaching since 1998.

Twenty-eight years of standing at the front of a room and watching this happen — and I am still moved by it every single time.

There is something that occurs in a room when people genuinely show up. Not performing. Not competing. Not comparing themselves to the person on the next mat.

Just — showing up.

The room changes. Something settles. The collective breath drops a little deeper. And whatever each person carried through the door begins — quietly, almost imperceptibly — to lighten.

I did not create that on Saturday.

They did.

I just held the space.

To everyone who came on Saturday — thank you does not feel like enough. But it is what I have.

Thank you for trusting me with your Saturday. Thank you for staying in the uncomfortable postures longer than felt comfortable. Thank you for being the kind of people who choose growth over comfort — even when growth looks like lying on a mat in a room with strangers trying to breathe through three minutes of pigeon pose.

You were extraordinary.

And to everyone watching this video right now —

If something in you stirs when you see this —

If some part of you thinks — I want to be in that room —

Listen to that part.

It knows something.

The next workshop is coming — Free Your Spine. Free Your Life.

Details dropping soon. Reply Yes Spine in the comments to be first to know. 🙏

This is what I get to do.

I never take it for granted.

Not for a single class.

Not for a single breath.

— Sumit 🙏

Comment : Hips 🚨 LAST CALL — This Saturday.

This workshop is for every body. Whether you have never done pigeon pose or you are working toward full Lotus — there is a place for you in this room.

Here is what we will explore together —

Beginner — Child’s pose, Butterfly, Reclined Figure Four. Gentle, accessible, deeply releasing. No experience needed.

Intermediate — Lizard, Pigeon, Double Pigeon. Long holds that go deeper than any regular class allows. Where the real release begins.

Advanced — Full Lotus, Hanumanasana, Kapotasana. For the practitioner ready to go all the way in.

Why Lotus? Let me tell you.

The Lotus is not just the most iconic posture in all of yoga. It is one of the most profound symbols in the entire eastern tradition.

The Lotus flower grows in muddy water. Its roots reach down into the mud — the dark, the difficult, the messy, the unresolved. And from that same mud it pushes upward through the water and blooms above the surface — completely clean, completely open, untouched by what it grew through.

That is not just a beautiful image.

That is your practice.

You bring everything into this room. Every stressful week, every tight hip, every thing you have been carrying. You root down into it. You breathe through it. You stay.

And something opens.

That is Lotus. That is what Saturday is about.

Not the shape of the posture.

What the posture means.

Open Your Hips. Open Your Life.
