Then I called it Fernweh - missing travel, or missing a place that’s not your home. (Complex concept? It's probably a single word in German.) Finally, as I got more adjusted but still didn’t feel like Uganda was home I called it Fernfreude, a word I made up to symbolize finding joy somewhere that is not ..read more

It has been the focus of my practice for six months. Here's the idea of this flow: challenge your balance on your mat to come to terms with the norm of feeling off-balance and confronted by an ever-changing mix of emotions. Through this pracice, I've been trying to lean into all the feels while at the same time turning toward the cyclical nature of life, practicing finding balance when it's challenged, and appreciating how these cycl ..read more

This is a flow for Ukraine. Everyone is processing the horrors of Russia’s war - and thoughts of what may come next - differently. I’m trying for the “feel it all” method, so sorry not sorry if this flow is a little brutal.

What you have here is just voice, but it’s synched to be played alongside my Apocalypse playlist on Spotify to get you deeper in your groove. (You have to have Premium for it to work ..read more
