Your Heart is Calling…

A little less than a month from now, the Lighting the Path Teacher Training begins - and this isn’t just about learning yoga.
It’s about walking the path of healing. 💛

Life feels busy.
Money feels tight.
Time feels short.
We get it.

But what if the perfect time to step into your own transformation is right now?
✨ Walk deeply with your own heart
✨ Release patterns that hold you back
✨ Nurture courage, resilience, and self-trust
✨ Be held in a supportive, heart-centered community

We still have 5 spots left, and flexible payment options make it possible to say yes to yourself, even amidst life’s demands.�

Our journey starts September 11.

Will you step onto the path that’s waiting for you?��

What sets LTP apart is our intentional focus on healing physically, emotionally, & spiritually through yoga & meditation intensives, breathwork, self-inquiry, community, and learning to work with what lives in the body.
You don’t have to want to teach to join us. You simply need a desire to grow, heal, & deepen your practice.

What We Leave Behind

Sometimes,
the greatest lessons
arrive without words.

A sunset.
A quiet trail.
Cold water.
A forest breathing.
The sound of waves
meeting the shore.

These moments ask nothing of us
except our presence.

As I grow older,
I find myself wondering
less about what I can leave behind,
and more about
what I can help another fall in love with.

Because we rarely protect
what we have never known.

And we naturally care
for what has captured our hearts.

Perhaps that is how love
is passed from one generation
to the next.

Not through lectures.

Not through fear.

But through shared wonder.
Through muddy shoes,
windblown hair,
salty skin,
and the quiet awe
of standing together
before something larger than ourselves.

Maybe the greatest inheritance
we can offer
is not certainty.

Not success.

Not even answers.

Perhaps it is a living relationship
with this beautiful, fragile world.

To teach someone
to pause before a sunset.
To kneel beside a tide pool.
To look up at the stars.
To discover
that they belong to the Earth,
and that the Earth
belongs in their heart.

For love always comes first.

And from love,
care naturally follows.

Last night after dinner, Quinn & I headed out on an important mission...
To find caterpillars.
As the sun was setting, we wandered through the neighborhood looking on fennel & milkweed and under leaves, carefully collecting a few little future butterflies to bring home and watch transform.
It struck me that this has become one of my favorite parts of being a dad - because I get a front-row seat to watching Quinn transform.

Yoga is not about touching your toes.
It is what you learn on the way down.
— Jigar Gor

So much of our lives are spent chasing the next accomplishment.

The next promotion.
The next milestone.
The next certification.

But yoga gently reminds us that the real transformation doesn't happen when we "arrive."

It happens in the moments we become a little more present.
A little more compassionate.
A little more willing to meet ourselves exactly where we are.

That's what Lighting the Path Teacher Training is really about.

Yes, you'll learn sequencing, anatomy, philosophy, hands-on assists, pranayama, meditation, and the art of teaching. But more importantly, you'll deepen your relationship with yourself so that when you stand at the front of a room, you're not simply teaching poses - you are offering presence.

If you've ever felt a quiet nudge that teaching might be part of your path - or if you're simply longing to deepen your own practice - I would love to invite you to join us.

OR Join us for a FREE Information Session TONIGHT immediately following my 6:00–7:30 PM yoga class at Green Yogi Telegraph. Come meet me, ask questions, and see if this journey feels like home.

Sometimes the path that changes your life begins with simply showing up.

I'd be honored to walk that path with you. 🙏

Last night Quinn and I arrived at Caspar Cove just in time to watch the sun melt into the Pacific.

I’ve spent a lot of time up here over the years diving, working on the Caspar Cove Project, and helping our community restore these incredible underwater forests. But getting to share this place with Quinn makes it feel completely different.

Hopefully today I’ll get her out in the water with me so she can see the overabundant purple sea urchins up close, explore what’s happening beneath the surface, and understand a little more about why so many of us keep showing up to help bring the bull kelp back. 🌿🌊

As a Papa, I think a lot about what kind of world we’re leaving our kids. But moments like this also remind me that one of the greatest things we can give them is a relationship with the places we hope they’ll someday care for.

For now, though, I’m just grateful for a beautiful sunset, an adventure with my girl, and a little daddy–daughter time by the ocean.

Later today… we get wet. 🤿😂💙

I'm baaack!

After 10 wonderful days of camping, fishing, hiking, paddle boarding, mountain lakes, campfires, hot springs (Buckeye, Travertine, and Wild Willy's), family time with Stephanie and Quinn... and just the right amount of general shenanigans in the Eastern Sierra... I'm back! 💛

My heart is full, my nervous system is reset, and (despite my best efforts) I only caught enough fish to keep my ego humble (which was zero)

I'm back to teaching my regularly scheduled yoga classes for the next two weeks, and I'd love to see you on the mat.

Come stretch out those summer adventures (or your office chair posture 😉), breathe deeply, reconnect, and come get your yoga on!

I may even have a few Sierra stories... and, of course, some fresh dad jokes.

Can't wait to practice with you!

Last Call for Yoga (and Dad Jokes) Before the Eastern Sierra Adventure!

I'll be teaching my regular 9:00 AM class today at Green Yogi Telegraph, and then I'll be disappearing for the next two weeks into the Eastern Sierras for camping, fishing, campfires, mountain lakes, and general shenanigans with Stephanie and Quinn. 🌲⛰️🐟

So if you've been meaning to come to class, today is your chance!

Come move, breathe, sweat, laugh, and help send me off into the wilderness properly.

Hope to see you on the mat this morning. 💛
📍 Green Yogi Telegraph
🕘 Sunday | 9:00 AM

See you in two weeks -hopefully with fish stories, Sierra wisdom, and at least a few new dad jokes.

Every year when I arrive early for the Joshua Tree Yoga Retreat, there’s a rhythm to it all.

Unloading the trailer. Setting up the camp kitchen. Raising shade structures in the desert wind. Organizing mats, water jugs, cooking gear, lanterns… all the little things that help create a space where people can land and exhale.

It’s beautiful work.
And it’s busy work.

After working to bring the chaos of creating the camp into harmony, there’s this moment that always comes… when we stop long enough to climb up to Sunset Rock, share a meal, pour a glass of wine, and watch the desert sky soften into evening.

And every year, something inside me softens too.

This quote from Mary Oliver always finds its way back to me out there:

“You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles
through the desert,
repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal
of your body
love what it loves.”

The desert has a way of stripping things down to what’s essential. The sky. The rocks. The people beside you. The simple relief of being present enough to watch the light change.

And that’s part of the practice too.
Not always striving.
Not always fixing…
Just letting ourselves belong to the moment
long enough to receive it.

Yoga and nature have a quiet way of calling us back from the noise of our minds and into the living presence of this moment…
Where we can let the “soft animal of our body love what it loves”
