Yoga outdoors:)
Walking meditation. Stronger the winds the better … invigorating !
With due respect for this super smart, incredible human being on a mission to spread his yoga studios like “Starbucks of Yoga” all over this country, the cause of his death is very sad. Alone… from a fall in $3MM home, leaving behind a net worth of $100MM. Guess you can’t take all that with you on that celestial, terrestrial journey to the infinite. Obviously, the man, the mortal was suffering from some unknown pain if he had to drink to that extent to dull and numb his senses. Reminded of the words of Maty Ezraty that sometimes big poses don’t mean a thing- rather there’s a lot of chaos there, there’s craziness sometimes …and when that need for constant business mixed with intense focus can’t be sustained, the Type A’s get distressed and feel their body and mind are betraying them. Maybe. They become fearful. Gurus are human after all.
(a plug, lol:) Please consult a Yoga Therapist to chill with at such times rather than turning to unhealthy choices which includes wrong kind of yoga practice – full of dogmas and preachy… would that work for you? Or no spirituality – just fitness – would that work for you? It all depends.
I’ve done CorePower in Berkeley and most recently had a free class at Yoga Journal Conference … it was vigorous and sweaty and well delivered. In his honor, I think I am going to one of the CorePower studios just to revisit …and thank. RIP.

If yoga is about “balance”, you can say that he lost his balance … and fell to his demise. What do you think? Reminded of the words of our teacher last weekend – yoga can be like a miracle cure, a medicine or … a poison. I found latter to be unbelievable but then sometimes it all depends on that practice matching up to one’s true needs.
