Thinking about teaching yoga? Or maybe you just feel this pull to go way deeper into what movement and awareness can really offer?

Listen, this isn't your average yoga teacher training.

Our 200-hour Embodied Flow™ Yoga & Somatics Training is honestly for anyone who feels that longing to truly come back home to themselves. It's a deep, immersive dive.

We saw that traditional yoga was missing something, so we created something different. Embodied Flow was actually the first school to really weave together:

Getting into your body's felt sense (that's the Somatics / Body-Mind Centering® bit)

The profound wisdom of non-dual Tantra (it's less complex than it sounds, more about seeing the sacred in everything)

The sheer freedom of just moving intuitively

...and bring it all into the space of yoga.

We like to think of our training space as a kind of laboratory – a place where you can get incredibly curious, trust yourself more, and discover your own unique flow. It's all about helping you feel more safe, creative, free, and fluid in your own skin.

You'll explore somatic movement, Tantric philosophy, meditation, the familiar yoga poses (asana), breathwork (pranayama), and truly looking inward (self-inquiry). All of it is there to help you become a more fully embodied person.

And that's key, right? Whether you want to lead a yoga class, or help people in any other way (maybe you're a coach, a therapist, whatever), becoming more present in yourself is the first step to guiding others.

We've poured over 30 years of experience and learning into this. It really is designed to be a "reset button," helping you feel deeply connected to your amazing human existence. You'll find your intuition gets sharper, your inner power feels more solid, you'll connect better with yourself and others, and your creativity will just flow.

Seriously, wherever this path takes you, you'll be moving with a compass that points straight to the truest version of You.

Homestuck Secret Santa 2022 (Late edition) For : @monggay

My part of this year’s @homestuckss event.

Included is a surviving excerpt of The Execu-Cretary’s Diaries, a multipart action novel in the much maligned Ashen Facilitator-surrogate genre. It was being optioned for Alternian Cinema, shortly before the Dooms Day which destroyed the Empire (being widely considered a good move for the art of cinema). The series follows an ambitious 10 sweep old Jade blood (Harley Bequel), whose defied the norms of her caste to become a highly esteemed, and professional Execu-Cretary entangled in the corporate intrigue of Alternian Military Fashion: Sitting between the two most powerful women in Military Fashion, careening through Capital Prime’s streets in the luxury scuttlier at twilight, should have been more exciting. Just being there had answered a sweeps long quest to achieve high and move into the highest echelons of the Empire’s Execu-Cretary cadres.

But here it was less than 3 hours into my first duty-shift and I was bored. The worst possible thing for an on duty Execu-Cretary. 

There wasn’t even nerves. Nerves at least made you more likely to act in an emergency. Boredom made response slow, and meant more danger than ever. Nerves are something you get around someone who commands respect.

The Two Women I was assigned to, powerful magnates with untold influence, had started bickering even before getting into their scuttlier. The Argument had remained the same the entire ride into their office: ‘Were shoulder epaulettes  truly in this year’?  Aradia, who was the more reserved of the pair and surprisingly from the burgundy caste, and she felt strongly against them. Terezi, the teal blood, was much more interested in just having an the argument. 

Even a hard as nails, professional Execu-Cretary like me could see these two were in obvious Vacillations ... And the thought dawned, as an ashen lump in my throat.

‘This argument wasn’t for my benefit, was it?’ I asked myself, a cold sweat forming on my skin. Oh no, the last thing I needed was to be drawn in as the facilitator for a Imperial level power couple...

Are you a facilitator of evil?

In my humble opinion, I believe the answer to this question is YES for waaay more people than most would care to admit.

People who ordinarily (or otherwise) would be considered a "good person." BUT...

They stand back and refuse to get involved, because it makes them uncomfortable.

Or they intentionally wear blinders and pretend like something doesn't exist just because they aren't (personally) affected by it.

Basically they don't speak up!

By not speaking up they are not only siding (even if unintentionally) with the fascist, oppressor, bigot, racist-(or "insert example of evil here"), they are also betraying the people (their friends, family, neighbors) who literally have no other choice (because they are different in some way) but to stand up and fight and defend themselves. And let me tell you, that shit is EXHAUSTING!

Trying to do it alone while all your other "friends" or family are just talking about everything BUT, and la-la-la'ing through their (often privileged) days is absolutely exhausting and discouraging. Especially when their only excuse is something like..."well, I don't follow or get involved in politics," or, I don't choose sides, or (and I think this one gets to me the most) they do the whole "both sides" thing.😒

Last time I checked, human rights, equal rights, and the right to be able to just be yourself without...yanno, certain people screaming that you deserve to d*e because your skin color is different from their own, or because you are a loving, two mom or dad family trying to just live your lives happily together, is NOT political. Or at least it shouldn't be.

No matter how you try to shade it, SILENCE IS BETRAYAL!

In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends. -MLK, Jr.

Oh, and btw, I'm not trying to say everyone who doesn't speak up is a bad person. And I'm not saying it's the ONLY thing I think people should talk about or focus on.

I'm just saying that if more good people would speak up when the situation or circumstance calls for it, it would make a huge difference.

Or in general, occasionally make it a point to talk about/post about/blog about difficult (and sometimes, yes, uncomfortable) things, so that the people in your life know for sure where you stand. Let others know you support them and that you'll have their back if needed.

More people need to make a clear stand against evil and then maybe the world wouldn't seem like such a dark place for those of us who have no choice but to defend ourselves. We'll stand alone, but imagine the impact if we didn't have to.
