I’m excited to finally share something I’ve been working on for a long time. My new book, Not Your Average Yogi: From Violence to Service, is about to be released. This isn’t a book about perfect poses. It’s about what happens when the practice meets real life. I found breath, meditation, and eventually yoga through a journey that included violence, incarceration, solitary confinement, and having to take a hard look at the man I had become. Not Your Average Yogi tells that story. But more than anything, I hope it opens a conversation about who yoga is for, what healing can actually look like, and how a practice can extend far beyond the mat. I’m grateful to be able to share it with the YogaTribes community. OUT on Amazon

BREATHE. MOVE. RISE.
Wednesday July 1st · 10:30 AM · James Lesly Christophe
I didn't plan to become a yoga instructor. I planned to survive.
And in that cell, stripped of everything, I discovered the only thing no one could take from me.My breath. From breath came stillness. From stillness came clarity. From clarity came a version of myself I didn't know existed.
That's why I'm here on Yoga Tribes.
Not to offer you another yoga class.
To offer you a practice that actually works for your real life — stress, tension, mental noise, and all.
My classes combine Power Vinyasa, breathwork, and nervous system reset into one 60-minute experience. You leave stronger and calmer than when you walked in.
No experience needed.
No judgment.
No performance.
Just honest, disciplined work — and results you'll feel the same day.

Come open yourself up instead.

BREATHE. MOVE. RISE. — and I want you in the room for day one.

60 minutes. Breathwork + Power Vinyasa + Nervous system resetI didn't find yoga in a studio. I found it in a cell.
That's the energy I bring to this work — honest, disciplined, real.
