What a firey practice! Before I started the video I read the comments and decided to change the speed of the video to 0.75x ... just a bit slower, thinking this would help me to deepen, soften into the practice. As soon as we started the core exercises I immediately said "nope!!" haha. Thanks for this heated practice, it certainly did bring up resistance, emotions, and resistance to the emotions. I guess that's why we call this a practice, huh? Thanks for holding space so sweetly as always.

Lisa P , I am such a fan of slowing down, in so many different ways, but I can see how slowing down this core work may do the opposite of what you desired😂 Way to remain flexible and shift course as needed. This is, indeed, all a practice. And you are not alone in the resistance that arises as we stoke the fire within. Thank you for sharing❤️

your yoga teachings are really inspiring Ashley. I didn't know about papas though I'm not sure how to spell it!

Lyn O , thank you🥰 I’m glad the little philosophical nuggets along the way are offering a bit of inspiration. This particular one is “tapas;” To heat, to burn, to illuminate/shine from within, to accept pain/discomfort as a means for purification/detoxification… physically, mentally, and emotionally🔥

True confession: I divided this BURN BRIGHT practice into 2 mini-mini sessions! Core, you know?? But i did get through it! Yay!

Kate M I love a good confession😂 And I have much respect for making that one class into two🙌🏾❤️ In the words of Tim Gunn, make it work!

Just found this great practice this morning. Excellent sequencing and Ashley, your voice and focus on tapas was mesmerizing. Thank you and namaste,

Dawnie P thank you so much💕🙏🏾  I’m happy that you found your way to this practice and I really appreciate your kind words🥰
