New In-person classes @yogamechanics M - 8:00am W - 9:30am If you have ever taken in my class at Yoga Mechanics then you know the “difference”. The attention to detail, in-depth explanations and the “science” behind what we are doing. This class makes you better at yoga asana and everything else. In fact while taking it you might even be thinking, this isn’t yoga asana exactly, but yet it is. ⠀ If you’re interested to learn about this integrated approach where art, intention and logic become one. Let’s move. ⠀ I would never guarantee that you’ll feel better by doing anything, however I am confident you will feel, and that’s a start. If you’re reading this and you’ve taken this class before please share any thoughts. (at Montclair, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUVCEDYLscT/?utm_medium=tumblr

We all need to get on the same page here. The lumbar spine (lower back) should rotate no more than about 12 degrees. A majority of rotation in the spine comes from the thoracic region which is the mid to upper back. How are you (teaching) the revolved poses? What cues do you use? https://www.instagram.com/p/B007k38jo_9/?igshid=m7h9s0mew1y1

In honor of @sharkweek on the @discovery channel, I give you the shark tail. It’s like a lifted chinstand with tree pose and a light backbend. ⠀ Arm Balance: SharkTail ⠀ Category: Front stance/Thoracic extension ⠀ #armbalance #yogareload #IGTV #sharktail #sharkweek (at Manasquan, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0tgq6Pn8g2/?igshid=1fz0m0uoory54

Planche comes in a few shapes and sizes and is a staple pose to build towards in any arm balance practice. In yoga it’s called #lolasana and the legs are crossed. ⠀ Practice on blocks until you can clear the floor and watch my IGTV called “the only arm balance you’ll ever need” for progressions. #armbalance #yogareload https://www.instagram.com/p/BzMV9-2HS1-/?igshid=uin1ibfmnm4e

Through the years I have been inspired by various movement sciences and yoga lineages including but not limited to Hatha, Katonah Yoga®, Lotus Flow™, Ido Portal Movement Culture and the FRC® Systems. ⠀ First certified at @LaughingLotusNY in NYC under Dana Flynn, I studied vinyasa and the Lotus Flow sequencing. I then continued on to study at the @KatonahYogaCenter in Bedford Hills under Nevine Michaan exploring sacred geometry and the philosophy of Taoism. ⠀ What I began to realize was while yoga is a "healing" practice it is not a rehabilitative practice for your body. I wanted the ability to assess myself (and others) for possible deficiencies/pain in the body and be able to fix them. ⠀ This is where diving deeper into the subject of movement and stretch physiology became necessary. ⠀ I started a mentorship with the @Portal.Ido team while at the same time discovering @FunctionalRangeConditioning (FRC®) and the knowledge I have gained over the last few years is game changing. ⠀ Now I want to share that knowledge with you. ⠀ My teaching framework is ideal for beginner and advanced students as well as those with physical limitations. ⠀ I can help you..let’s work together. Message me for training options or visit my website. Link in bio. ⠀ Jeffrey https://www.instagram.com/p/BuCJFaHhxLU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lbogd0fb6vqt

It’s your edge. Your limit. It’s always changing. You are regulating it. (Law of specificity) ⠀ If you were active at a young age you might have figured this out earlier and can now understand when you’re pushing your body to its current capacity. ⠀ However, if you are learning this later on in life it can be more challenging to develop. ⠀ It’s something only you could know and that’s why it can be confusing.. literally and neurologically. ⠀ In any case move sloooow™️ https://www.instagram.com/p/BuB0OEzBRbR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qtam03jj1am3

When I worked in technology people would commonly ask me if I was a programmer. When I worked in real estate people would commonly me if I was an attorney. Now that I work in movement and yoga people commonly ask me if I’m a physical therapist. ⠀ I am none of the above professions, however I study like I am.. ⠀ Knowledge alone is not power. Applied knowledge is power. Apply accordingly. https://www.instagram.com/p/Btv4SR3FzXZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zxsimacc7g36
