I hope you're having a beautiful week. I know I am.
The yard is looking lovely—still some blossoms on the trees and bushes, everything's green, garlic is growing in the garden.
Like John O'Donohue says in his poem, For Presence:
"Take time to celebrate the quiet miracles that
seek no attention."
Today, I want to introduce you to Yoga Nidra on Podcast: Rebel Clinicians.
My good friend and fellow yoga teacher at Mosaic Yoga, John Cottrell is an amazing human being and recently hosted me on one of his podcasts.
John gets up about the time that most of us go to sleep which gives him the time he needs to do amazing things in the world. In addition to being a very gifted and engaging yoga teacher John also:
Has a Ph.D.
Is an award-winning body builder
Leads mens groups and retreats
Is an incredible baker and sells his delights at his online business, One Cake Wonder—ships anywhere
Is a trained actor and dancer
Loves to DJ
Has his own mens active clothing line M-Body
So much more! I'm just scratching the surface
As if this were not enough, John also hosts at least 3 podcasts (that I know of).
I had the great honor to be interviewed on his fantastic Podcast, Rebel Clinicians, with his pod-parter Alex.
We had the BEST conversation and I can't wait for you to hear it.
We discussed all things Yoga Nidra but also so much more …
We talked about discovering and working from our own special magic.
We talked about the importance of finding YOUR thing and understanding that as a pointer to all things through presence.
We talk about how clinicians like therapists and the like can use practices like Yoga Nidra to help them ground and rejuvenate after long hours of helping others.
Please check it out below, it's a great listen.
Then after, buy one of his hoodies, attend his yoga classes, and eat 3 dozen or so of his latest delights.

CLASSES UPDATES
So, every 6 months the space that Mosaic Yoga rents from hosts a craft market over the weekend.
The next craft market is happening at the Mosaic Yoga Space Saturday, May 17th and Sunday, May 18th.
This means that Yoga For Stiff Bods will only be hosted on Zoom on the Saturday, May 17th.
I've got some travel coming up—my French Riviera retreat and other European travel—so I want to make you aware of some classes I'll be getting subbed. See my updated class schedule on my website.
We have AMAZING teachers at Mosaic so you'll be in good hands while I'm away.
I'll still be available for private sessions, mentor sessions, and my weekly online Yoga Nidra class, all via Zoom while I'm gone. I'll be working while I'm in Europe so reach out if you'd like to join or book an online class.
Clearly, the best solution is to join me in my French Riviera yoga retreat, June 7–13, 2025. I've got two spots left.
