Understanding anxiety is not the same as knowing what to do when it appears.

We may understand why we're anxious and still find ourselves caught in the same thoughts, physical activation, and familiar reactions.

The next step is learning how to recognize our anxiety, regulate ourselves enough to remain present, and develop an appropriate response to what is actually happening.

That's when understanding becomes something we can actually apply.

The next online cohort of From Enemy to Ally begins November 9.

Mondays · November 9, 16, 23 & 30
6:00–8:30 PM ET / 3:00–5:30 PM PT

I’m delighted to share that Yoga for Grief Relief: Simple Practices for Transforming Your Grieving Mind and Body has received a 2026 International Impact Book Award in the Self-Help category.

This recognition is particularly meaningful because it honors a conviction that has guided my work for many years: grief does not happen only in our thoughts and emotions. We grieve in the body as well.

The work that began with Yoga for Grief Relief continues to evolve today through Somatic Grief Relief.

I’m grateful to see this work continue to be recognized—and to all the readers, students, clients, and colleagues who have helped it grow.

How much loss are we carrying that we don't call grief?

We live surrounded by change.

Wars that continue. A heating planet. People displaced from their homes. Economic uncertainty. Social changes that challenge what once felt stable.

And alongside these are the losses of our own lives—the relationships, health, dreams, identities, people, places, and possibilities that change or disappear.

Not all of this grief announces itself as grief.

But the body may still carry it.

Tomorrow at Integral Yoga Institute San Francisco, I’ll be offering Yoga Therapy for Grief Relief: Navigating Loss in Challenging Global Times—an experiential afternoon exploring how we can recognize grief, attend to its effects on body and mind, and develop ways to navigate loss while continuing to engage with life.

There is still time to join us. https://conta.cc/45t0kPa

When Grief Needs Our Attention

Grief does not always announce itself as grief. Sometimes it appears as anxiety, irritability, exhaustion, difficulty concentrating, disconnection, or simply the sense that we are not quite ourselves.

When we recognize that a loss may be underneath what we are experiencing, we can respond to it differently. This Saturday, I’ll be at Integral Yoga Institute San Francisco offering Yoga Therapy for Grief Relief: Navigating Loss in Challenging Global Times—an experiential workshop exploring practical ways to address grief through the body, mind, and spirit.

Saturday, August 22 | 1:30–5:30 PM PDT
In person + online

Not all grief is related to death.

A diagnosis. Divorce. Retirement. A traumatic experience. Migration. A relationship that changes. Or living a life very different from the one we expected.

Next Saturday, I’ll be at Integral Yoga Institute San Francisco offering Yoga Therapy for Grief Relief: Navigating Loss in Challenging Global Times, an experiential workshop exploring how grief affects body, mind, and spirit—and how yoga therapy can help us navigate loss while remaining engaged with life.

Saturday, August 22 | 1:30–5:30 PM PDT

Today we begin the next cohort of From Enemy to Ally!

Over the coming weeks, a small group of participants will be exploring anxiety through awareness, embodied practice, psychological insight, and shared inquiry.

One of the core premises of this work is that anxiety is not simply something to eliminate, but a meaningful signal that can be understood and worked with more skillfully.

I'm grateful for everyone who has chosen to join the journey.

And as always, I'm curious:

What has anxiety been trying to tell you lately?

P.S. If you've been considering joining and are wondering whether it's too late, feel free to reach out. We'll be meeting later today, and there may still be a way to participate meaningfully. https://conta.cc/4edgJeg

Returning from an insightful and thoughtfully organized SYTAR, one reflection stayed with me:

People are not only looking to understand suffering—they are looking for ways to work with it.

How do we remain present and responsive when life becomes uncertain?

Perhaps the task is not simply to get rid of anxiety, but to learn how to listen, regulate, and respond differently.

A question I'll continue exploring in From Enemy to Ally - https://conta.cc/44eMn6y -, beginning June 24.

Have you noticed how many ordinary parts of life now seem to carry an undercurrent of anxiety?

Travel plans that may not happen as expected. - The cost of getting sick. - The next heat wave. - An unanswered message.

For many people, anxiety no longer appears only during moments of crisis. It has become a quiet background condition—subtle, persistent, and woven into daily life.

What if anxiety is not simply a problem to eliminate, but a meaningful signal that can be understood and worked with?

This is the question at the heart of https://conta.cc/4edgJeg - From Enemy to Ally

Anxiety as Ally — https://conta.cc/3PMTDTI - my article for Yoga Therapy Today, the magazine of the International Association of Yoga Therapists. Grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this important conversation.

The article explores anxiety not as something to eliminate, but as a meaningful signal that can be understood and worked with through awareness, regulation, embodied practice, and psychological insight.

Perhaps a useful read—particularly within the increasing complexity and demands of the world we live in today.
