Tools
Moon Lists Workbook
Aesthetically inspired by manuals and journals of the 60s and 70s, such as The Whole Earth Catalog, the Moon Lists is an interesting alternative way to journal: Filled with 18 months of exercises for breaking through creative, emotional, and transitional roadblocks, it introduces a routine practice of digging below the surface to explore parts of the mind + present tense that are new, unknown, and full of possibility. The book is beautifully designed with images, illustrations and plenty of roam to explore your inner world | Link

Intermission: Foam Roller Routine
In the latest Intermission series for Reigning Champ, I share a full body foam roller routine that I’ve learned to integrate into my movement practice. Ideally I recommend doing this every day, but especially before exercise to help with mobilization, balance in the body, circulation and even moving emotional energy through you as we can become quit stagnant, especially while being stuck inside | Link

Teaching The Mind by Whit Hornsberger
In the last episode of the podcast I spoke with Whit Hornsberger, a meditation, mindfulness and yoga teacher from Canada, who has been traveling the world sharing his teachings with students for the past few years. Recently he launched an online program, Teaching The Mind, which includes three 8-week segments including Cultivating Consistency, The Intimacy of Mindfulness and Awakening the Heart | Link
Listen
Universe by Tyrone Douglas
I recently learned about the steel tongue drum, and immediately fell in love with its seductive calming sounds. There are plenty of albums to choose from so I found it tough to know where to look, fortunately through Spotify I was able to uncover a couple of albums that were just what I wanted. I’ve been enjoying the duo Hang Massive, but Universe by Tyrone Douglas, perhaps because of the album art, has won over my ears lately | Link
Feel
Sound Bath by Grant Mattos
Grant has become a friend, teacher and collaborator more recently. He’s been diving in deep on his own Instagram account since the isolation has started, but he’s also shared a beautiful practice of healing with sound through our own IGTV channel. Grant provides a brief explanation of the Sound Bath experience, and how the vibrations and sounds are used by our bodies to tune to both our inner harmony and that of the Universal field | Link
