Every morning starts the same way for me. Lemon water with a pinch of salt. A short prayer. The pot on the stove.

I have understood for a long time that what I put in my body is part of the same practice as what I do on the mat. Not separate from it.

For women especially, and I am speaking from four decades of this, the nervous system responds to food the way it responds to breath. The right meal at the right time can restore what an hour of asana cannot.

Warm foods in times of stress. Simplicity when the body is depleted. Eating slowly as its own form of meditation.

This is what I cook for our immersion students, and what I cook for myself. The kitchen is part of the temple.

What does your body need to be nourished today? Not fed, but truly nourished.

Have you stretched consistently for years and still woken up tight in the same places?

There is a reason for that. Chronic tension doesn't just live in the muscle. It lives in the pattern underneath. Stretching reaches the muscle, but it rarely reaches the pattern.

SATYA works differently. Through slow, floor-based somatic movement, it begins to re-educate the neural-muscular system at the level where holding actually lives.

Students who come to it from a yoga background often describe it as reaching places their asana practice never quite got to. It's not because they weren't practicing enough, but because they were using the wrong tool for that particular job.

This is practice for yoga students and teachers, bodyworkers, movement educators, and anyone dealing with low back pain, neck tension, or fatigue that doesn't seem to respond to more effort. If that description fits someone you know, this is worth passing along.

September is National Yoga Month, and we can think of no better way to celebrate than to practice together.

Yoga has given us both everything. A way of moving through the world with more attention, more care, more curiosity about what this body and this life are actually asking of us. After decades of practice and teaching, that feeling has not diminished. If anything, it deepens.

If you have been thinking about returning to your mat, or beginning for the first time, let this be the nudge.

This month we are exploring Yoga and Sacred Geometry in our online series. It is a beautiful entry point for newcomers and a genuinely fresh experience for longtime practitioners.

Come practice with us.

One of my Zen teachers once said that enlightenment is an accident, and the best we can do is make ourselves accident prone.

I have carried that for years. It describes something true about practice in that you cannot engineer the state of yoga. You cannot will your way to union. The great opening, when it comes, comes the way falling in love comes. Which is to say that it's beyond your capacity to guide or control.

What you can do is make yourself available. Quiet the thoughts and loosen the grip. Come to the mat with patience rather than an agenda.

When you let your guard down, something else can enter.

Has there been a moment in your practice when something opened that you didn't plan for?

Please share it in the comments. I'd love to hear from you.

In every tradition we have studied, the triangle describes the movement of energy.

There are usually two of them working at once. One is pointing downward, toward the earth, the tailbone, the breath in the lower belly. It's the apana or the descending force. And the other is pointing upward, toward the crown, toward space, and toward the experience of prana rising.

The Sri Yantra, one of the oldest of all sacred designs, shows these triangles overlapping at the center. Not in conflict but in dynamic equilibrium.

That equilibrium is what we are after in tomorrow morning's class.

✨ Yoga and Sacred Geometry - The Triangle on Friday, September 11 at 9:00–10:30 am MT

Today we celebrate Surya Little. 🌸

For over four decades, she has been a teacher, a healer, and a devoted student of life itself.

This life of hers has been shaped by so many hands. Tias, who has walked every step of it alongside her. Eno, who continues to astound them both. A sangha near and far who show up on the mat and in the heart with such devotion. And this earth, the high desert light, and the land they call home, which holds them all.

A Virgo through and through. Rooted in the seasonal, always returning to what is essential. To be at this milestone, still practicing, still teaching, still in love with this work, we do not take that lightly. And we hope she doesn't either.

If Surya has touched your practice or your life in some way, today is the day to tell her. Leave your birthday wishes in the comments below.

What would it feel like to spend one day tracking nothing and simply noticing?

I have been thinking lately about all the devices we now use to track ourselves.

The Oura Ring. The Fitbit. The glucose monitor. Blood oxygen levels. Sleep scores. HRV. A friend told me recently that she woke up at 3 am to check her sleep data and couldn't get back to sleep worrying about it.

In our somatic practice, we have always used different tracking devices like breath, pulse, quality of attention, and the thoughts we tell ourselves.

This is old technology, designed thousands of years ago, and it does something no wearable can. It brings you into contact with what cannot be calculated.

Yoga ultimately asks us to connect to something immeasurable. Not to make the life force better, but to cherish it as it is.

Labor Day is a holiday named for work. Most of us spend it doing a quieter version of it anyway.

Rest isn't the same as stopping. A body can lie down and still stay braced. Jaw set, breath riding high in the chest, mind already halfway into Tuesday. That's a pause, not a restoration.

Deep rest asks for something more deliberate. An exhale longer than the inhale. Weight given fully over to the floor. Permission to do something that produces nothing at all.

So today's question isn't what you'll get done. It's what your body would choose if nothing were owed to it.

✔️ A morning without a screen.
✔️ A walk with no distance to cover.
✔️ A meal eaten sitting down, slowly.

Whatever it turns out to be, let it be the kind of rest you don't need to recover from.

Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to move without effort and still feel everything?

That is the heart of SATYA.

Developed by Tias and inspired by a fusion of dance, yin yoga, Feldenkrais, and myofascial release, SATYA is a somatic practice unlike anything most people have experienced. It is about slowing down enough to actually feel what is happening inside the body.

Here is how it works:

All movements are done on the floor, like sliding, gliding, stretching, and unwinding, without force. Through these slow, deliberate motions, SATYA soaks the tissues, opens the joint spaces, reduces fatigue, and re-educates the neural-muscular system. Over time, the body begins to move with more fluidity, more symmetry, and more ease.

SATYA is for more people than you might think:

✦ Yoga students and teachers looking to deepen their somatic understanding
✦ Mind-body therapists and healing arts practitioners
✦ Dancers and movement teachers
✦ Anyone who simply wants to feel more at home in their body

What does your body most need right now? More effort, or more ease? Tell us in the comments.

Have you ever wondered why certain shapes make you feel grounded, centered, or expansive? 🔷🌀

Sacred geometry has been at the heart of yoga practice for thousands of years. Geometric designs, known as yantras, are not just visual patterns. They describe the movement of energy through the body, direct the psyche, and cultivate spacious awareness from the inside out.

This September, Tias & Surya weave sacred geometry into six online classes, exploring the square, the circle, the triangle, the petal, the spiral, and the dot as living, embodied experiences rather than abstract concepts.

This is yoga as you may never have experienced it before.
