We’re finally at the end of our journey through the Chakra System with our last stop at the Crown Chakra. One archetypal theme of the Crown Chakra — I am — may be very familiar to you if yoga is your primary way to meditate. Your soul’s answers to I am are revealed by...
There’s an old yogic saying that goes something like if you don’t go within, you go without… What that means for you: If you don’t spend time getting to know yourself and manage your own mind, you won’t have any inner peace. Instead, your life will be racing from task...
Where is your life going? If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will take you there… It’s a simple question that can get pretty complicated if you don’t know the answer… Many people make their lives much harder than they want to, largely due to conditioning....
Let me start by asking you a question… Did any strength coach, exercise professional or the guy in the gym paying more attention to his phone ever explain the concept of the pivot shift to you? The pivot shift entails balancing the inertia of a weight you’re lifting,...
Does something inside let you know when people are being honest with you or not? If your answer is YES, your Third Eye Chakra — the Sixth Chakra located right between your eyes — is working for you. As my question implies, this Chakra relates to seeing things beyond...
This week, I’m going to challenge you… How do you describe yourself to others or your self? Do you see your self as a person whose dreams and goals are aligned with your values, or not? What can you do if this alignment isn’t working right? This time, I want to share...

As we continue our journey through the Chakra System to the Heart (fourth) Chakra, our focus begins to move. The first three parts of our series — the Root, Sacral and Solar Plexus Chakras — revolve around an I orientation (Am I safe? What do I want?). Located in the...
As we’ve seen so far during my series on the Chakra System, these different “zones” exert a lot of influence on the body-mind. The Solar Plexus (Third) Chakra is no exception. From a physical standpoint, the Solar Plexus Chakra works with your digestion, elimination...
I don’t have to tell you the world we live in is a crazy one right now… Our minds and bodies are so immersed in read-and-react mode, all of us — me included — begin to feel as if we’re a on treadmill to nowhere. When we live in that headspace, it’s incredibly hard to...
During my decade-plus time of creating videos to share with you, many of the exercise-related ones have focused on performing a specific exercise or variations of them with good form. I’ve gotten a ton of questions in the past from people who follow me about my...
