It was a combination of necessity, good fortune, and great timing that led me to take up yoga.
It was the mid-90’s and yoga was really breaking through into the mainstream in America. As we flash forward 20+ years later, I am once again riding the wave of the mainstreaming of the practice, now in China.
Although language and culture can vary outside of the studio, once on the mat, we are truly unified.

This past week, we’ve enjoyed the opening of our new studio at the chic Kerry Centre in Shanghai and the successful launch of the new Active Stretch program.
See you on the mat!

Although I’m a dedicated Ashtanga Yoga practitio

Although I’m a dedicated Ashtanga Yoga practitioner, I’ve long integrated Active Stretch into my practice to improve coordination, body awareness, specific strength and mobility.
Based on physical therapy treatments, Active Stretch is safe and effective for a wide range of abilities including elite athletes, and those with physical limitations or injuries.
After many years of offering one-to-one treatments to my clients, we’ve now created a powerful, music based, group fitness class implementing the principles of Active Stretch.
I’m so proud of the team of dedicated professionals and innovators at SPACE as we evolve the concept of fitness training.
Weekly Active Stretch classes now available at SPACE Shanghai & Beijing.

Rarely do you meet someone that exceeds your expectations. After reading his books, listening to podcasts and watching his videos, that was definitely my experience of Kelly Starrett.
Kelly is an exceptional teacher that knows how to connect with his students. I’ve learned so much about movement, and even more about teaching from the supple leopard.

Shanghai! Now it’s your turn. Dr. Kelly Starrett is making a rare trip to Asia and will conduct his FOUNDATIONS OF MOBILITY course at Reebok CrossFit MeWellness.
Whatever your modality, yoga teacher, fitness instructor, physical therapist, Kelly will help you to solidify your thinking and take your work to the next level.

Yoga has a long history in Shanghai. After her studies with Krishnamacharya in Mysore, India and before her move to Los Angeles, Indra Devi established a yoga Shala in Shanghai.

We had an amazing time today, practicing traditional vinyasa yoga with live music at the Cha House, a 1920’s era building. The event really captured the spirit of that time in history, along with lots of yoga pants and beautiful people.🙃 Respect to Matt, the SPACE crew, the awesome band, KOL’s, staff, assistants, and our partners ✊

Low back pain? The Williams Back Exercise (no rela

Low back pain? The Williams Back Exercise (no relation) is a recommended treatment for overextended low backs (lordosis). The variation shown here combines the principles of Dr. Williams, strengthening lower abs, stretch gluteals, hamstrings, low back, with the clever method of vinyasa yoga, coordination of breath and movement.

The outcome is to make your treatment more immersive by engaging body, breath, and movement.

I don’t post a lot of food photography, but this was a memorable night... Chicken feet are little hands. They’ve got fingernails and a fortune teller could read the lines on their palms.

It took me about 19 minutes to choke down that little foot and converted to vegetarian immediately after.🤣 But, hey, when hanging with the Tien Mu Crew, you never know what you’re gonna eat next... Btw, wellness expert @elaine_yogatherapy assures me that all that collagen and cartilage is the Asian secret to youth.

A short time ago, we met for the first time - a motley crew yoga enthusiasts, ready to up-level our practice and begin that wonderfully weird path of yoga teaching.

Look at us now! Radiating from within, super-powered with knowledge, love and skill.

Atha yoga-anushasanam!

You know what I’m talkin’ about. #teamvinyasa #beforeandafter

Love y’all!

The Hawaiian Squat is the perfect prep for one of the trickiest standing poses: Ardha Baddha Padmottasana.

Begin in the Figure-4 position, then gradually deepen into the lotus.

Flex or point your foot, whatever, just maintain some structure and make sure the pressure is in your hip (not the knee). This video is at double speed, so when you practice, take your time.

Beautiful pictures from my weekend event in Shanghai.

As someone that remembers (not that long ago) when yoga was only practiced by hippies and new-age mammas, it’s incredible to see how mainstream the practice has become.

The McKenzie back exercise is commonly recommend for ppl with back pain.

I learned the sequence from a physiotherapist several years ago when I had managed to impinge my sciatic nerve. Nowadays, I’m pain free, but include this drill as part of my maintenance program.

Yes, it’s similar to yoga cobra, but not completely.

1️⃣ Start with the forehead parked on the floor, squeeze the abs and butt to stabilize.

2️⃣ EXHALE, initiate the lift of the chest with the back muscles then press through the arms.

3️⃣ INHALE as you return to neutral.

Repeat 10x, working into a little more extension each rep.
Notice that I internally rotate my arms (elbow out) when I come down. This gives a bonus stretch of my armpits.
