I spent a lot of time this past summer writing, thinking and creating videos about how yoga can support positive mental and physical health via it’s tremendous capacity to help us create positive neuroplastic changes in the brain.
Here’s a short clip from one of the videos. I sometimes jokingly call this “The pose that shall not be named” – because, if I give it a name that students have already heard, they may assume it’s supposed to look a certain way. I’m much more interested in guiding students to tune into how it feels and what it does for the body/mind. Try it out and let me know how you like it!
(What is this pose? Well, it’s definitely a variation. Here’s a geometry hint, it’s named after a common flexible polyhedron).

A lovely stretch, I don’t know its name! Really good or opening up the side of the body and feeling a long line of energy through the body. Thank you, Namaste
Triangle pose! (but I will deny saying that)
Thank you.! Great demonstration of interoceptive movement.
I’m really enjoying your videos – since finally starting formal teacher training after years of yoga practice and working with kids I found myself a bit rudder-less in my own practice. Thank you for providing the inspiration I was looking for! ?? Jane
Aw, that means a lot to me Jane. Thank you! I’m so glad to hear that these are helpful for you!
Really enjoyed that little video, I felt a good connection with my body and peaceful mind. Thanks for sharing
