Off The Mat | Do Less, Breathe More

Let life be a little lighter. Ease is a practice too. Kyle and David sit down to explore what "Do Less, Breathe More" actually means. Not just in class, but in the real patterns of overextending that show up in work, relationships, rest, and practice itself. David discusses wanting to go deeper into asanas such as revolved crescent lunge, handstands, and advanced shapes. Kyle challenges him: "What are you hoping to achieve by more depth?" They dig into how the pursuit of depth and performance can make yoga an external thing rather than an internal practice. They talk about burnout, crashing from overextension, using busyness to avoid uncomfortable feelings, and what it means to prioritize presence and breath over how a pose looks. They also discuss the cost of never pulling back, physically and mentally. This is a real conversation about redefining what "advanced" actually means. Most of the time, it's not what we originally think. New episodes every Thursday. Find us on Instagram @yogapodclass.
