Happy February!
February is the month of LOVE—and this year also marks the Chinese New Year, welcoming the mighty Dragon. The season feels charged with renewal, courage, and warm community ties. In that spirit, we gathered to yoga practice, learn, and laugh together—proof that a shared breath can bridge difference faster than any introduction.
Workshop in Philadelphia’s Chinatown
Earlier this month, David led an Ashtanga Yoga workshop in Philadelphia’s Chinatown, supported by a live translator for Chinese-speaking attendees. The room buzzed with curiosity and kindness; smiles, nods, and attentive eyes carried the teachings forward. In moments like these, teaching yoga becomes a living dialogue—gesture, breath, and rhythm guiding the exchange. The on-the-ground efforts of teachers yoga were felt everywhere, from check-in to mat placement and post-class Q&A.
The Language Beyond Words
Even across languages, alignment cues land when they’re embodied. Demonstration, mirroring, and steady breath turn teaching yoga into a universal language. We’re continually inspired by teachers yoga who make the practice accessible—simplifying transitions, offering variations, and centering respect. Whether you’re brand new or returning after time away, thoughtful teaching yoga meets you exactly where you are and grows from there.
Book Progress: Slow, Steady, Close
Behind the scenes, the new book continues its careful journey. It’s inching toward completion—shaped by workshop stories, travel notes, and lessons learned from teachers yoga in diverse communities. While not quite ready to announce dates, each edit brings the pages closer to the finish line. We’ll share updates as soon as we can.
What’s Next
Thank you for the warmth you brought to February’s yoga events. May the Dragon’s energy remind us to show up bravely—on the mat and beyond. We’re grateful for the global web of teachers yoga, and we look forward to more moments where teaching yoga unites us in smiles, breath, and simple joy.
