If you just joined and you're poking around wondering where to start...you're already in the right place. This classroom is called Start Here for a reason. Begin here. Get your bearings. There's no rush. But I want to make sure you know what else is waiting for you — because I don't want you to miss it. Right here in this community — completely free — you have access to: 🌬️ The Gap — a 5-minute box breathing practice for stress, self-control, and the space between stimulus and response 🧘 Neti Neti — a 21-minute meditation that quietly does more than most hour-long practices 🔄 The 20-Minute Reset — nervous system regulation when you need it most 🔥 Fire Ceremony — one of the most powerful releasing practices I've ever guided 🌀 Severing the Core Practice — for when you need to cut something loose and mean it These aren't filler content. These are practices I've used personally — and guided thousands of people through — over 25 years. Start with whichever one calls you. Trust that instinct. Now — if at some point Start Here becomes your permanent address and you never venture further... that's okay. Genuinely. These practices alone will give you something real to work with. But when you're ready to go deeper — Presence is Power is where the live yoga flows live. New classes added regularly. Real practices, real heat, real community. It's $27 a month ...less than a drop in fee at a yoga studio...and it's everything I do — brought to you wherever you are. + there are more being added each month! No pressure. No clock. Just a door. And it'll be there when you're ready. For now — breathe. Look around. You belong here. Talk soon, Ro

Hey Gratitude Warriors... Last week Alex Tice came to us LIVE from the Falmouth studio... You can listen to this class because it's filled with nuggets of wisdom. And, if you have the time, unroll your yoga mat and practice along! We were here in Raleigh taking it with him!

Last week's emails stirred something up. If you read them...the Baron Baptiste photograph, the torn hamstring, the idea that the comparison was the real injury and the hamstring was just where it showed up first..you know what I mean. And then Sandra, a psychologist here in Raleigh, wrote back and said her entire workshop at a national addiction conference was built around the same idea. Less comparing obsessively. More living inside out. Two disciplines. One conclusion. So when I sat down with Mary Levin for last week's Coffee With Ro...I wasn't sure where it was going to go. What she shared stopped me. Mary has been practicing and teaching yoga for years. From the outside she had it completely together. But what she described underneath that exterior...the masks, the core wound of never feeling like enough, using the practice itself as a way to help everyone else while quietly bypassing her own interior — is right on par with the deeply authentic conversations we have during Coffee with Ro... "Everybody built me up for all the masks I wore. And so you just start to think you are. It works until it doesn't." It's in the Classroom right now under Coffee With Ro. Go watch it. And then come back here and tell me — where did it land for you? Have you ever used the practice as a way to avoid something rather than meet it? Drop it in the comments. No wrong answers. This is the space for exactly that. Ro

Happy Friday, Gratitude Warriors! I just put a brand new 20 min meditation on the 'Start Here' course section. Silence your phone...find a comfortable seat either on your meditation cushion, or you can even sit on the edge of your kitchen chair. This experience effects the 'head space' in a very positive way...it clears it. Let me ask you how important is having a degree of mental clarity in your life? How about feeling grounded emotionally? I've called on this meditation through some of the most mentally and emotionally challenging times of my life and it's been there for me. Now, it's here for you...even if life is smooth sailing currently...give yourself this gift! It's called Neti Neti. Enjoy! And, one of the things that makes The Gratitude Way on Skool is YOU! Let me know how it lands. Ro
