Monthly physical mail for yoga practitioners and curious humans.
The Envelope
Live Class
One practice. One month.
Three pieces. One practice.
The Letter
A long-form letter written directly to you, exploring the month's theme — its history, its meaning — alongside a personal story from our own practice.
The Practice
An exercise related to the theme, guided step by step: a self-reflection, a breathing practice, an asana. Prop it on your mat, your windowsill, your bedside table.
Something Extra
A third piece that changes with the theme — a folded reflection card, a postcard to send to someone, a guided exercise, a small card deck. A surprise each time.
A live gathering every month
Alongside the printed set, we gather on Zoom once a month — a guided yoga and breathing practice rooted in that month's theme, followed by an open community chat. A chance to land what the cards have built, and to share what surfaced with others practising the same theme.
Dates and times confirmed by email closer to each session.
A letter worth reading slowly.
The opening of the July letter, on Nadi Shodhana — the breath that balances. Every month follows the same shape: a letter exploring the theme with a personal story, a guided practice, and something extra to keep or to send.
Nadi Shodhana — The Breath That Balances
While reading these first few words, you have most likely passed two cycles of breath. Our day-to-day breathing stays mostly unconscious, and that's natural, since on average we breathe around 20,000 times a day. Imagine noticing all those cycles consciously! Let's try something simpler: take one deep inhalation… and a slow exhalation. What do you notice within your body?
In the yogic tradition, breath is not simply air moving through a body. It is prana: vital energy. When you breathe consciously, you are not just oxygenating your blood. You are directing energy. Pranayama is the practice of consciously regulating the breath to purify the energy channels of the body, because a disturbed breath creates a disturbed mind, and a steady breath creates a steady mind.
Here is something your body is already doing: right now, you are breathing more through one nostril than the other. In roughly two-hour cycles, your body naturally shifts dominance from left to right and back again — a phenomenon called the nasal cycle. Science has shown that this rhythm is directly connected to your autonomic nervous system, quietly influencing your heart rate, blood pressure, and mental state throughout the day. What if you could work consciously with this rhythm that is already yours?
Nadi Shodhana, also known as alternate nostril breathing, takes this unconscious cycle and makes it intentional. Nadi means channel. Shodhana means purification. The practice involves gently closing one nostril while breathing through the other, alternating in a slow, steady rhythm. Research across dozens of clinical trials confirms what yogis have known for centuries: this simple practice lowers cortisol, reduces anxiety, improves heart rate variability, sharpens cognition, and brings the two hemispheres of the brain into greater harmony.
