Although there are many variations of classic standing poses, some alignments are more productive for building strength and flexibility simultaneously.

Here’s how I personally teach or adjust these 5 key yoga standing poses.

Save this for later if it was helpful 🙏🏼

My theme for this Greece retreat was Returning. Yogic philosophy, Buddhist psychology, and Greek myths all speak of the return to the true self.

To reclaim and remember the version of you that is most expansive, most connected, and most alive.

Homer’s Odyssey is part of an Ancient Greek narrative tradition of the return journey.

After the challenges and commitments of our duty, we seek the path home. Forever changed and yet intimately connected to who we once were, and what is rightfully ours.

All the poems, ancient texts and readings I shared in our daily yoga practices spoke to this idea.

Like ocean tides, we shift, change, and eventually return to the vastness of the source of all things.

My heartfelt wish for our beautiful group this week has been to reconnect to what feels most alive and authentic in themselves 💙

Jordan Yoga retreat: possibly my favourite retreat I’ve ever run. From our local guides and communities, to our inspiring guests from all walks of life - this one nourished my soul in ways I needed so much this year after monumental loss.

I can’t wait to come back in September 2027 to do it all again. If you think you might want to come, DM me Jordan and I’ll share details 🇯🇴 ❤️

Sri Lanka: the origin of my meditation lineage. The teardrop suspended from India’s coast.

At Aluvihara, five hundred monks etched the Buddha’s suttas onto palm leaves for the first time in history, turning centuries of oral tradition into permanent text.

It’s where the Ramayana comes alive. Sita was held captive here and later found by Hanuman, who left his footprints in the rock by the stream. I was fortunate enough to visit this temple and see this.

What a beautiful, magnificent place and people❤️
