"Is it okay with you if I ...?"

I'd like this to be a normal question starter for yoga teachers who use hands-on adjustments in classes.

Informed consent is a trauma-informed embodiment of ahimsa - non-harming. Learning the different ways to ask for consent protects teachers from liability, and puts the power of the practice squarely where it needs to be - with the student.

If asking for consent sounds awkward, the trust that's built in that exchange is worth learning how to do it and normalizing it in classes. People do care a lot about having a say in whether they are pushed on, pressed, rotated, or pulled in asana- and if they don't, it's likely because they didn't think they had a choice.

This video series is lecture and discussion from a recent yoga teacher training sorting out these important topics with a step-by-step tutorial on giving and receiving informed consent, scope of practice, the business of yoga, and a Q & A of real life inquiries I've received over the years, including "Will Yoga Cure my Back Pain?"

"Ethics for Yoga Teachers" is a valuable refresher for instructors who need CEs while supporting safer, more inclusive classes.

Understanding ethical standards, scope of practice, and a professional Code of Conduct is essential for creating safe, respectful, and equitable yoga spaces. This series explores the use of touch versus verbal cueing, informed consent, hands-on adjustments, and concludes with a discussion on the bus...

Yoga nidra is a deeply restorative practice requiring a few items you can find in your home. Watch "How to Set up for Yoga Nidra" for free as a preview to my Full Circle Monthly Subscription. Become a founding subscriber for just $8.88 a month or $80 bucks a year to support the yoga and healing arts education of practitioners and teachers.

Yoga nidra is a "conscious sleep" in which you can rest and restore your body and mind in just 20-30 minutes. Here's some simple props and positioning advice I recommend to enJOY yoga nidra at home.

Let’s talk body mechanics.

Treatment tables for reiki are not negotiable. Being able to sit in a chair when a chair is needed is called taking care of yourself.

If you ever see photos of reiki done on the floor, just know that the practitioner probably woke up the next day feeling stiff, sore, or worse.

Let’s not normalize that.

Reiki tables in spaces that normally offer reiki are a reasonable expectation. If none are available, do reiki standing with the recipient sitting in a chair.

Win-win.

The next Reiki Circle at Full Circle is Tuesday, June 9th 7:15pm-9pm. DM if you’d like to attend.

Support circles in Yorba Linda - one meets monthly and the other weekly. Cheaper than therapy and come as you are. No BS. ❤️

I offer this as proof that age doesn’t inherently prohibit flexibility nor limit curiosity about yoga.

If you need props, you get them. If you don’t need them, no problem.

The point is not to ring the bell or race to the finish line. The joy is the movement and what you discover along the way no matter your age or ability.

It’s Yoga for everyone. Beginners AND beyond.

As summer gatherings put highly sensitive people on alert, it's a good time to refresh your energy management skills to protect and defend your energy field. This video class will help you get grounded and hold steady even with challenging encounters (and energy vampires, too!)

Empaths and highly sensitive people are affected by the swirl of energy of others on a daily basis. Learn about the subtle energy system through which we "read" energy, and how to avoid resonating with it. This class covers techniques for grounding, balancing and distributing energy within your body...
