Your deeper self wants success.

Your social feeds want to keep you distracted.

The better choice should be obvious.

“I don’t have time to meditate” is the lamest excuse.

You had time to read this post. So you have time to meditate.

Stop distracting yourself. Just sit.

Stop rushing through your yoga practice. Stop rushing through your life.

Pause. Feel. Breathe.

Yin Yoga is the true test of presence.

Any fool can fill their day with distractions.

But it takes real courage to sit in silence.

Don’t be a fool. Be brave.

My free course, The Embodied Mindfulness Method, will teach you how to balance your body, calm your mind, and find true clarity.

Your overthinking is just a symptom.

The real problem is the tension your body holds that your mind refuses to let go of.

You won’t think your way out of it. Start with your body.

Release tension with Yin Yoga and stop letting stress take over your body and mind. Tension in your body isn’t random, it’s a signal from your mind. This practice uses Yin Yoga to help you let go of that tension, physically and mentally, so you can move and think more clearly. Grab two blocks and Release Tension with Yin Yoga | Quiet the Mind, Free the Body

Let go of tension in your body, and your mind will follow.

99% of your stress comes from fighting reality.

Let go.

Once you stop resisting, you’ll see the peace that’s been here all along.

Multitasking is a scam.

You’re not getting more done. You’re just doing more things poorly.
Unitasking is the real flex.

Slow down. Truly do one thing at a time.

You’ll get more done and feel even better while doing it.

I never believed in Christmas miracles...

That is, until my wife asked ChatGPT to create a cyberpunk anime of us celebrating Christmas with our pet capybara.

Happy Christmas, everyone!

Step Out of Meditation Stagnation by Making Each Day a Mindful Retreat — Rob Phillips Yoga The Spring of 2013 was one of the most rigorous points in my meditation journey.  I was spending 2 hours a day on seated practice, but I still felt like I was missing something. I felt a glimmer of hope in the fact that I had an extended meditation retreat scheduled in a few weeks. I was

Mindfulness isn’t something you do.

It’s a way of life.

Every moment is practice:
~ Sitting in traffic.
~ Drinking your coffee.
~ Washing your dishes.

Stop confining your practice to certain times, and start living it as the core of your identity.

Modern people aren’t more stressed out because their life is harder.

They’re more stressed out because they refuse to slow down.

Stillness isn’t optional anymore.

It’s the only way to survive.

Big change happens in small moments.

One breath. One step. One practice at a time.

Transformation never happens all at once.

It happens moment by moment. Breath by breath.

Be patient. Each step of your practice is a step towards freedom.

The calm you’re seeking won’t come from another app.

You’ll find it by releasing the tension in your body and the knots in your mind.

The Embodied Mindfulness Membership will show you how.

Most people say they want peace.

But when they try to sit still, they freak the f¥ck out.

Stillness isn’t a problem. But your resistance to it is.

You have to practice it each and every day.

I felt stuck for years.

I was trapped in my body and lost in my thoughts.

Integrating body and mind changed everything.

Now, I’m sharing what I’ve learned over 15 years of teaching.

How to Face Your Darkest Meditation Moments – And Find Power By Letting Go — Rob Phillips Yoga Entering the Dark Night It’s a cold Massachusetts evening in December 2012, and I’m sitting in the meditation hall at the Insight Meditation Society . I have diligently followed the practice instructions for the past five days. Each meditation session has brought me deeper and deeper. But in th

Uncomfortable meditations aren’t failures. They’re the path to freedom.

People think meditation is supposed to make them feel calm.
It often doesn’t.

But it will teach you to sit with what’s uncomfortable until you see the peace within it.

That’s true freedom.

Most people try to numb their stress with distractions.

But it will never settle if you always feed your brain new input.

Make space to sit in stillness.

Then your stress will finally have the room it needs to regulate itself naturally.

The Sublime Beauty of This Mundane Existence — Rob Phillips Yoga When you are new to practice, it can feel like discovering the Holy Grail. For so many of us, the sense of lightness and connection that we feel is unlike anything that came before it. If you’ve ever experienced the calm bliss of a long savasana after a challenging class or the sense of clarity af

There’s beauty in the mundane, but you have to make space for it.

Here’s how: robphillipsyoga.com/...

Life is better when you actually pay attention to it.

Try this:
~ Do chores without music.
~ Sit in a park without your phone.
~ Go for a walk without headphones.

Presence is where true contentment lives.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again:

A restless mindfulness session always beats a mindless doomscrolling session.

Transformation feels hard, but peace is waiting on the other side.

Transformation in your practice isn’t supposed to feel good.

The challenge is a sign that it’s working.

Peace is waiting on the other side of that challenge that you’re resisting.

How To Survive The Digital Zombie Apocalypse — Rob Phillips Yoga The Day I Saw The Zombies While vacationing in Japan in 2019, I got my first warning of the coming Zombie Apocalypse. I saw otherwise normal-looking people turned into mindless husks in the blink of an eye. And the infection rate has only skyrocketed since then. Danger lurks around every corner,

How I learned to do nothing. — Rob Phillips Yoga The Tao Te Ching famously says: “When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.” But the often-forgotten second half adds: “When the student is truly ready... The teacher will Disappear.” The wisdom here is that true understanding lies beyond what can be taught. If you remain fixated on what

I used to think “doing nothing” was a waste of time. I was wrong.
