Yoga with Rebecca Faye

01/14/2026

For the next 6 Saturdays, we'll do a deep dive into yoga, with an emphasis on the basics of asana (the poses). Learn how to move safely, efficiently, and specifically so you get the most out of your yoga practice. With the development of acute somatic awareness, brand new beginners can fully embody the practice and continuing students can go deeper and make even the seemingly simplest of poses challenging. Yoga asana is not meant to be an isolated practice, we will also study: pranayama (breath & energy), meditation, and some basic yoga philosophy and history.

I LOVE teaching fundamentals series. I regularly teach to a wide range of practitioners— from yoga teachers to beginners— and to a diversity of physical abilities. It has been my honor to teach yoga since 2002.

Beautiful writing this morning from the Substack "Meditation with Ram Dass:"
Most of us spend our lives trying to be somebody.

Somebody who matters.
Somebody who’s doing it right.
Somebody who’s not falling behind.
Somebody with a story that makes sense.

We build a self out of effort.
Out of achievement.
Out of how we’re seen, needed, relied upon.

And for a while, it works.

The identity holds.
The role gives shape.
The story keeps moving.

Until it doesn’t.

There comes a moment—sometimes quietly, sometimes painfully—when being somebody starts to feel heavy.
When the effort of maintaining the image costs more than it gives.
When the question Who am I? no longer has a satisfying answer.

This is usually where fear shows up.

Because nobody taught us how to be nobody.

We’re taught to refine the self, improve the self, heal the self, spiritualize the self.
But Ram Dass was pointing in a different direction.

He wasn’t asking you to become a better somebody.
He was inviting you to loosen your grip on being somebody at all.

Nobody doesn’t mean erased.
It doesn’t mean irrelevant.
It doesn’t mean checked out or diminished.

Nobody means unhooked.

Unhooked from needing to be right.
Unhooked from defending the story.
Unhooked from proving that your life adds up.

If you pause right now and feel your body,
you may notice how much effort goes into holding the identity together.
The tension of maintaining coherence.
The vigilance of staying consistent.
The exhaustion of being you all the time.

What would it feel like to set that down, even briefly?

Not to disappear.
But to rest.

To let the roles soften.
To let the narrative loosen.
To let awareness be aware of itself without commentary.

This is the doorway from somebody to nobody.

And paradoxically, it’s here that intimacy deepens.
