What if life balance was found in presence? Harvard research claims that we are the most over informed and under reflective civilization in history. A life without margin leaves no space for reflection or understanding. Richard Swenson said that margin is the space that once existed between ourselves and our limits.

Somedays we just need a jump start. Skip your morning cup of coffee and fuel your body with this heat building devotion. Slow your breath, focus your mind and get the fuel you need from your own inner flame. This class will push you just enough to ignite that inner strength and leave you standing taller in your own power.

It's an all-too-common western cultural affliction: You think you're a certain "type" of person (AKA morning person, Type A, a hot mess, lazy, manic, chronically late, super serious, shy, emotional, gimme my morning coffee or else, etc). You think that definition is, in some way, "true," because everyone tells you it is, and you seek to have it reinforced all the time. Is it healthy? Helpful? Dynamic and open? Who cares? It's *familiar.* It's safe. You can rely on it. Which is why anyone who dares mess with your desperately clung-to list of defining characteristics better watch out.

Oh, yoga is going to mess with it, all right. Here's a vigorous, well-breathed, hip-intensive practice designed to help you dissolve whatever psycho-emotional, culturally-imposed nonsense you've come to believe about yourself (AKA maya, illusion, socially constructed BS) and then replace it with... well, nothing at all. No hard, fixed identity, no stuck labels, no staid cultural conditioning whatsoever - just spacious, flowing possibility, one breath at a time.

Easy, right? Not even close. But so very refreshing.
