August Flames (Patreon)

Hello Patrons!

As we move toward the end of August and into the final stretch of this hot and humid summer, I want to say thank you for joining the adventure with me here on Patreon.

There are a few things that I am particularly... not proud of, per se, but rather stoked about.

For starters, I really love how this room has developed. I made an intention to make it livable, corner to corner, and lo and behold, the room has come to life.

The papasan is perfect for me because of its structure. I've fallen asleep here once or twice with a big blanket, but mostly it gives me great support as a lounge seat. My body and mind feel so restored and uplifted here. It's become a room I genuinely want to spend time in, whether I'm practicing, filming, writing, or doing nothing at all.

Secondly, I love the new selection of clothing I've been wearing. The lace bodysuits, rompers, tops, and ruffle shorts are really comfortable. Wearing them in yoga has had an interesting effect: they help the body hold heat while still allowing air to move across the skin as I sweat. It's pretty cool.

And finally, I love the yoga.

I love dropping into the rhythm of Thread the Needle on an exhale. And I love the inhale that follows. I love extending through my toes into Upward Dog. I love taking it easy and going deep into Cobra.

I've had several requests for videos featuring posterior-chain harmony and hip mobility. The practices I've been doing can go very far into lower-back vitality, but there is more I want to address for the athletic release through the hips and the power cords, aka the hamstrings.

So that's one direction I'll be moving into as summer comes to an end.

I'm also going to begin sharing here more regularly. I want the different levels of membership to feel increasingly alive, with more of the practices, photographs, experiments, clothing, and smaller moments that are becoming part of this world.

Wherever you are here, thank you for being part of it!

I'm excited to see where we go next.
