Have you ever found yourself questioning why you practice? Maybe you’re steeped in theory but struggling to return to the mat, or perhaps the demands of life have pulled you away from the depth you once felt in your practice. It’s natural to lose sight of the balance between the way—how we practice—and the why—the heart that drives it, especially when life’s currents feel overwhelming.
This discussion invites you to pause and meet yourself exactly as you are, without judgment or expectation, and to rediscover how the truth of the moment can move through your body.
In this 19-minute teaching from Fierce Love (Austin, 2024), John explores the essence of embodiment and sexual polarity as profound practices for grounding in love and presence—not just on the mat, but in every aspect of life.
If you’re seeking inspiration to return to your practice or a deeper connection to why it matters, this teaching offers a heartfelt perspective on how embodiment shapes not just your relationships but also your way of moving through the world.
