When we are a little ways into a new journey, we like to ask questions. In health and training, people might be learning the basics, developing discipline, finding the groove, or even just learning to manage stress better. Then, they often look for assurances.  “Do you drink coffee?” They ask.. or “Do you eat chocolate?” ...

We just finished up our second unplugged meditation and movement retreat. It was an absolute success. I am fairly convinced there is no other event like this that is happening, and I also believe that I have as much or more fun than anyone else on the retreat. I really get a lot out of...

For just physical satisfaction, not much is needed. But, for true intimacy, with two people being present with each other, we need connection. For connection, we need attention. By using your phone* in your bedroom (yes, even “just” as your alarm clock), you are leaving attention on the table and effectively severing any chance of...

In strength training, there’s something called “Post activation potentiation” – it’s a theory that the contractile history of a muscle influences the performance of subsequent muscle contractions. For example – heavy squats, followed by vertical jumps. In a way, we are also contrasting the load neurally. Heavy to light. After “heavy,” the “light” feels easy....

The second, rarer: “I wonder what I would experience if I committed to this practice that I feel might serve me for a period…?” –...

When Hans Selye introduced the concept of stress over 50 years ago, he was mis-interpreted by many. The word “stress” quickly was associated with “bad.” This is not what he meant. However, in today’s world, many people are living, breathing, working and functioning on the right hand side of the curve. This is bad. We...

You’ve seen a ton around mindfulness and meditation, heard different gurus or magasine columnists talk or write about it. You’ve tried it a few times, but mostly from an App. The practice has remained patchy. The way it’s “packaged,” or presented to you seems foreign. It’s for other people… Yogis maybe. However, something still pulls...
