Blissology is fundamentally about solving one thing: disconnection.
Disconnection from our bodies. From what matters most. From each other.
If you’ve ever left one of these practices feeling more like yourself, you’ve already experienced what we’re trying to teach.
First, you’ll understand movement science. Then you’ll embody it in your own practice. Once you’ve experienced it for yourself, you’ll be able to help others discover it too.
This is about more than poses. It’s about reconnecting to yourself, your purpose, and the people you’ll serve.
Connection is our currency.
If you want to see how deep this work goes and the kind of somatic movement educator you can become, explore the Yoga Optimized book and course.
Become one of the next elite Blissology-trained teachers in Bali, May 14 to 30, 2027. Space is very limited.
Grounded in science. Guided by the heart.

Some people ask if I’m having a midlife crisis.
I get it. More rings, more handstands, and yes, fewer shirts. But that’s not the story.
Twenty-five years ago I injured my knee practicing yoga. Healing it sent me down a rabbit hole of biomechanics. What I learned made my practice safer, and it turned out those same principles made everything else safer too.
That’s where the Yoga Optimized book and online course came from. Twenty-six years of trying to understand how bodies actually work.
What drives me isn’t proving anything.
It’s the people I meet almost every day who tell me they feel “too stiff, too old, or too broken” to do the things they love.
People in their thirties and forties who have already made peace with a body that hurts. People who stopped dancing, stopped hiking, stopped playing, squatting or doing yoga because somewhere along the way they decided that part was over.
That breaks my heart. Because it isn’t true.
I don’t want to be the exception to aging.
I want to help change the rule.
So when you see me on the rings, I’m not pointing at myself.
I’m pointing at what’s possible. For me and for you!
If you found a fountain of youth hidden in a forest, would you hide it? Or spend the rest of your life showing people where to find it?
The real midlife crisis isn’t getting stronger as we age.
It’s believing that getting weaker and stiffer is inevitable.
We’re not fragile. We’re anti-fragile. Put the right stress on the body, the right way, and it adapts. It gets stronger than you think possible. At any age.

Neither should we.

Superflow has become my favorite way of moving.
The more I’ve studied movement science, the more I keep returning to this practice. It weaves together everything I love: yoga, surfing, functional mobility, tai chi, music, nature, and the pure joy of flowing from one movement into the next.
One of the greatest joys of my life has been watching people around the world discover how good it feels to move this way. This year, I’m spending more time than ever practicing it, teaching it, and sharing it.
Every transition becomes a meditation, every movement a thank you to the ocean, and every practice reminds us that we aren’t separate from nature. We are nature.
Psychology has a word for what happens next: flow. Complete absorption in the moment in front of you, where time bends and the clock disappears.
The yogis had their own word: samadhi. A mind so absorbed in one thing that it dissolves into it.
They are not the same. One is a path toward liberation. The other is a map of optimal experience. But they are close relatives, and both point toward the same simple truth: a mind fully absorbed.
Samadhi is usually approached through stillness. Superflow comes at it from the other direction. You move so completely that the chattering mind has nowhere to land.

I used to be a yoga snob.
For decades I believed yoga, meditation, and surfing were everything—loose body, calm mind, done. The more I learned about the science of longevity, the more humbled I became.
After 30, we lose muscle every year, and the fast-twitch fibers go first. Yoga kept me flexible. It was not keeping me strong. Sarcopenia does not care how good your pigeon pose is.
People used to ask what I did for cardio, and I’d proudly say, “Just yoga.”
Looking back, I was wrong. Cardio is for the heart, the mitochondria, and a strong VO2 max, one of the best predictors of how long and how well you live.
Here is what being a snob taught me. I loved yoga so much I overestimated it. When I studied exercise physiology, I had to admit it did not tick every box. Yoga is still my center. But I am not limited to one circle. So I chose four. I didn’t leave yoga. I expanded my definition of health.
That is why I built Loose, Fit and Happy Retreats. This goes both ways. If you are a yogi, strength and cardio are what longevity asks of you too.
And if you left yoga for Pilates, barre, Hyrox, or CrossFit, you may have caught yoga amnesia, losing the mobility and soul you once had. This is where both roads meet.
There is also Stoga, where Stoic philosophy meets yoga. Afternoon circles that change how you move and how you live. Science Mind. Toned Body. Yoga Soul. And the real reason people come back: the friendships.
✨Connection is our currency. You really can have it all: enlightenment, a toned butt, and a group of incredible friends.

At 57, my DEXA scan shows I gained over five pounds of lean mass in one year. Most people my age are losing it. Average is not destiny. If I can, you can.
Muscle is your savings account, and after 30, most of us start spending it without realizing it. Medicine calls the slow loss sarcopenia.
“Sarco” means muscle. “Penia” means poverty. I call it muscle debt. Every year you do nothing is a withdrawal. Every strength session is a deposit.
The fast-twitch fibers, the ones that catch you when you trip, help you off the floor, and carry you up the stairs at 80, are the first to go. Yoga and cardio alone won’t preserve them. They need load.
This is not yoga or strength. It is yoga and strength. Yoga keeps us mobile and calm. Strength keeps us capable. The trick is training hard in a way your joints can tolerate for decades, which is why I built Yoga Optimized around DUO.
Your movement span is not how long you live, but how long you can express your soul through your body. The body is not in the way of that. It is the instrument you get to play it on.
Almost every day, someone tells me, “I felt fine, then after 40, it all caught up with me. I feel stiff, old, and broken.”
I don’t want that for either of us.
I want us to keep getting stronger and more mobile every year. That’s what I train for, and it’s what I want to share.
Comment MUSCLE, and I’ll send you the free 35-minute “Muscles That Move” practice. I’m reading every comment personally this week.
Share with someone who needs to make deposits in their movement account.
Happy World Yoga Day.
This is what yoga actually is.
Mike was one breath from his first handstand. So yesterday in Boston I made him do it. Crow, then up, then both of us completely lost it laughing. A little later, Lauren flew the same way and proved we are all stronger than we think.
That laughter is the point. People think yoga is the shape. It is not. It is what happens between two people when one trusts and the other holds.
What makes us great is bringing out the greatness in others. We rise by lifting others. Sometimes literally.
Connection is our currency. Joy is the proof.
Go find someone to laugh with on the mat.
A yoga retreat director asked me if people only want to relax now. I surveyed my stories, and 95% said yes, yoga is getting more mellow.
I love mellow. I teach rest. I even started hammock enlightenment. But growth needs both. You challenge yourself, then you rest.
The people who wanted more left yoga for barre, Pilates, CrossFit, strength. Which is great. I love all of it. But slowly they forget what only yoga gives them. The emotional release. The mobility. The way it tunes you into your deepest self.
It’s not yoga or fitness. It’s yoga and fitness. We need both.
That’s why I started the Loose Fit and Happy retreats. We do the hard, vigorous work, then we truly rest. You leave strong and calm.
So I want to hear from you.
Do you find yoga is getting more and more mellow?
Did you ever leave yoga for something harder? Did you miss it?
