Friendly 15 minutes, that is. I am posting extremely casual videos to my Youtube channel.  These are for friends, family, or anyone who does not want to commit to yoga but knows, well, yeah, it is a good thing. Watch me move through tech trauma to make these short practices.  It's harder than you think to frame the practice space and be sure the viewer can see what is going on.  Today marks the second one I've done, the first one didn't record properly.  I think I have a system now.  Here is a link to the Friendly Fifteen Playlist .  Don't worry about my mistakes, I sure don't.   I do have yoga teacher certification and am following the lead of many many fabulous yoga guides . I seldom see my friends and loved ones anymore and hope that this might welcome some engagement.  It isn't just for women - but for some reason, women have adapted yoga into their lives, more readily. Come on guys.  Join in. I will make an effort to embed a few Friendly Fifteen practices

My practice has continued to grow. Yoga is not a religion, but when you have a loved one that you know would benefit from a yoga practice but they are so far away from initiating a practice, you find out wishing you could convert them. Here is 5 minute breath and wrist mobilization practice done in a sitting position.   It is for people who have lifestyle issues.  Issues that present a barrier to a regular yoga practice. It is for my sister, and maybe for yours too. Any man can try this practice.  More men can benefit from yoga practice. Children can be introduced by this practice.
