Watch: Yoga for Athletes Teachers’ Lounge: Reverse Vinyasa
Day 5 of my 2016 Teaching Yoga to Athletes intensive included a short practice featuring an alternative to the standard plank–chaturanga–up dog–down dog vinyasa.

Watch: Yoga for Athletes Teachers’ Lounge: Yoga for Athletic Recovery
Day 3 of my 2016 Teaching Yoga to Athletes intensive focused on the psychology of the athlete and on athletic recovery. This was fitting, as that morning I’d yet again rolled my ankle running on the trails. This happens once or twice a year, and it leaves me laid up for several weeks, yet I…
Watch: Yoga for Athletes Teachers’ Lounge: Beyond Sun Salutations
The second practice from the 2016 Teaching Yoga to Athletes intensive is online now at YogaVibes. Not every class needs to contain sun salutations!

Core Strength for Real People: It’s Not Easy!
I’ve been having such fun with the Core Strength for Real People brand!

The first of the month means a new video is live at Core Strength for Real People!
