At #minnebar today they expect 1,600 (of the 2,000 people who signed up) to attend this free event. They estimate the cost at $50-60/person. I'm very impressed by this event and the enormous team of volunteers.

When I first tried yoga, I thought it was just exercise. Over time, I discovered that slowing down, breathing, and connecting were forms of strength too. During this Movember, I have been exploring how yoga and community can support men’s health in real and practical ways.

Each July, I take part in a global movement to reduce single-use plastic. I do this not out of guilt or a desire for perfection, but as a practice of presence, care, and alignment with values. This year, I invite you to join me.

Since The Marsh re-opened in May 2023, the meditation tower there has become one of my favorite quiet places to meditate.

I used a picture from that room for my recent blog post about "How I Teach to Focus on Reality in Yoga," which was the latest installment of my "How I Teach Yoga" series.
