Benefits of Child Pose (Balasana):
*Stretches the back and hips: Gently stretches the spine, hips, thighs, and ankles.
*Relieves tension: Calms the mind and reduces stress, tension, and fatigue.
*Improves digestion: Can help massage internal organs, aiding in digestion.
*Promotes relaxation: Helps induce a state of relaxation and mindfulness.
*Eases back pain: Offers relief for mild back and neck pain when practiced with proper alignment.
*Encourages breathing: Opens the back of the body and encourages deeper breathing.
*Enhances flexibility: Gradually improves flexibility in the hips and lower back.

Avoid Child Pose, or speak to your doctor before trying, if you have any of the following:
*Knee injuries: Avoid or modify if there are knee issues or recent surgery.
*Ankle problems: Those with ankle injuries should be cautious or avoid the pose.
*Pregnancy: Pregnant individuals may need to modify the pose by widening the knees to make space for the belly.
*High blood pressure or eye problems: Avoid the pose if there are concerns with high blood pressure or glaucoma, as the head is positioned lower than the heart.
*Severe back injuries: Those with serious lower back conditions should avoid deep forward bending unless under guidance.

What would you do if you weren’t afraid?

Because when you learn to put faith before fear, the most extraordinary and divine things will happen.

It takes enormous courage, a word that comes from the Latin word for heart.

Where can you fear less and lean into faith more?

Because that is where the magic happens.

MY LIFE AS A TEACHER 📖

Humbly, after a lifetime of teaching, I’ve come to see that you can’t change anyone. So, what am I doing in the many circles I convene all over the world? Well, I’ve come to see that being a teacher means serving as a greenhouse: providing light and warmth to the living things before us so they can grow in the various ways they are meant to grow.

If I am invested in changing you, that assumes I know what you should be changed into. This is presumptuous and dangerous. In the realm of transferring knowledge, there are definite and precise things to learn and skill sets to master. But in the deeper realm of knowing, there is no such arrival point. There is only the constant becoming of our soul on Earth, which no one can prescribe or schedule.

As a tree grows from the imprint of its seed, each life grows in the world from the imprint of its soul. We can only water the seed for each other and care for each other’s growth. In this regard, our being directs our doing. So, I encourage you to water the roots of your being so it can grow its gestures into the world.

In a modern age that commodifies everything, our challenge is to grow from the
inside out, letting every holy calling find its own expression within us and between us. After decades of listening to the stories and struggles of others, I can bear witness that teaching, in its most profound form, is not moving a life from here to there, or from effort to achievement, or even from chaos to order. Rather, teaching is creating the enduring environment in which the seed of the soul can know itself and blossom.

With all this in mind, I invite you to consider the vantage point from which you relate to your students, no matter the size or shape of your classroom: What are you looking for when you look into your students? What are you listening for when you listen to your students? What are you hoping to grow in the garden of their minds? How will you prepare the soil? How do you know when you should not turn one thing into another? How do you know when you should turn one thing into another? How can you best help each of your students by meeting them where they are?

Spaces are going fast. Sign up before its too late. There are limited zero gravity chairs available so reserve yours soon!

Always here for you...
Your mat,
your breath.

During this season, there is much shopping, money spending, dining, and spending quality time with people close to you. We naturally reflect on how fortunate we are to have the ability to do all these things, and feel generous and grateful in doing them. To buy presents big or small, to buy food, to host parties. It’s so easy to take for granted privileges we’ve always had access to, like clean water, clean clothes, access to food.

Through being on the Board of Plant Fruit, I’ve learned so much about the Kisoro Hill Batwa, and one such necessity they don’t have: access to water and education. When we began teaching good hygiene, we thought most of the information would be ignored. During our recent visit of our founder to Uganda we were super excited to see and hear our students insisting that children wash their hands before eating. We’ve been able teach them how to make soap, the importance of hygiene and washing hands before eating. The two main reasons 40% of children of this poverty-stricken tribe don’t live to 5 years old are because of disease and malnutrition. Something so simple as soap and clean water is a game changer for this community. They want so much to learn a better way of life. The students, both men and women, of Plant Fruit’s School of Practical Arts are not only learning, for the first time in their history, marketable trades, but they are also learning what we would consider basic human necessities and functions like hand washing and hygiene.
