Why our members are Amazing
Want to know what makes the LBY community so special?
Discover why this is such a vibrant, uplifting and JOYFUL place to be!
Varying ages, varying goals...
But we’re all in it together, united by a few shared principles:
- Breathing well means feeling well.
- A body in motion brings a mind to rest.
- A strong core makes everything better.
- Challenge = vibrancy.
We're all over the world...
We've got the feel-good formula...
Sure, handstands are cool, but you know what’s even cooler? Longevity in the practice. As in, the ability to handstand into our eighties & beyond! That’s why you’ll find:
- We move in what we lovingly call "body time"; no rushing it but no belaboring it either.
- Clear cuing - and not more than necessary. I want your brain relaxed not vigilant.
- Calisthenic-style core work and strengthening work in many classes.
- "Adventurous" poses and transitions to explore with zero stress.
- A blend of gentle, moderate, intermediate & challenging options.
- Mobility every day. Everywhere.
- Whole-body focus.
It's not about the poses, man...
And sometimes it totally is. But at the end of the day we’re not taking ourselves too seriously.
Don’t get me wrong…
- I LOVE me a press handstand or a drop-back or a jump-through but not QUITE as much as I love taming my mind space. No matter what our bodies are doing, my aim is to open the door on a real-time experience of YOGA in the truest sense -- meaning, we quiet our minds, we lighten our hearts, and we connect to Pure Consciousness (to whatever extent that's available in any given moment).
- You WILL find pinnacle pose practices like King Pigeon, the Splits, Hollowback & more because, let's face it, GOALS can be straight up life-giving.
- In addition to the emphasis on breath-led pose-making, you'll also find breathwork, meditation and rest.
A world of support...
Members have the ability to comment on each class AND to participate in their own private Discord server, which is sort of like the next generation social media group.
They can:
- Ask questions, set goals, and create accountability.
- Participate in different conversation threads, such as: "Matters of the Spirit" & "This Week's Class" or "Wrist Care."
- Very active users can get administrative roles such as the ability to open a new channel for discussion.
This is what I want for you...
I want you to feel freakin’ amazing. And then I want you to help someone else feel freakin’ amazing.
- I want you to feel FANTASTIC in your own skin. I believe that humans were meant to feel free and powerful in their bodies. Too many of us have lost touch with that. LBY is a place to (re)Connect and to take your body & health to the next level... and the next... and the next.
- I want you to know YOU'RE NOT ALONE. Being in community is uplifting to the individual and it's uplifting to the whole. Because... the stakes go way beyond me & you. At the planetary level, we're being asked to rise to the task of holding ourselves to a higher standard. And all of that is just plain easier when we're rooting each other on.
- I want you BANGIN' ON ALL CYLINDERS. You'll find here a balanced and thorough experience for body and mind. When these classes are part of your weekly or everyday routine, you are giving yourself a powerful strength and mobility booster in addition to a liberal dose of spacious ease in the mindscape. (I'll take those over prescription meds any day.)
