Hi there,
It’s a while since I’ve posted here but I wanted to jump on to wish you happy new year and to invite you to a free zoom class on New Year’s Day.

Here are the details:

NEW YEAR’S DAY YOGA FROM HOME

January 1 2026, 10-11AM Eastern

Start the year feeling refreshed, rested, and fully “in” your body. Join me from the comfort of your own home for a progression of small, slow movements and supported restorative shapes to practice moving with the breath and creating a sense of full-body ease. We’ll close with a guided period of rest.

No yoga experience required, accessible for all abilities.

To receive the link, just send me a direct message with your email address, if you’re not already on my mailing list.

Sending warmth and light, from our house to yours.

One of the joys of moving into a new (old) house is watching to see what comes up in the garden.

The other day a flash of red caught my eye: tangled in a thicket of forsythia that desperately needs pruning is a lovely old rosebush (that also needs pruning), with many buds. It was there the whole time, I just hadn’t noticed it.

We’re still unpacking, and painting, and finding our way around. The kittens are loving having more space to inhabit. And while I miss seeing DC friends and neighbors, I’m so grateful for technology that allows me to continue to teach yoga from wherever I am.

If you’re needing a little connection … or a little time to get quiet and move and breathe …. or wanting to be able to focus enough to notice what is right in front of you … yoga is good for that! Join me this week! Signup at bethkaplanyoga.com

And, I have two slots opening up later this month for private one-on-one yoga therapy. Curious? DM me, we’ll talk!

Hi there! I just sent a wee video to folks on my email list. You can have it too, just pm me with your email address and I’ll add you to the list! You’ll get messages from me about yoga and life, resources about living with chronic pain, and links to free practices.

Today, when I should have been packing, instead I went down a rabbit hole of looking at pictures on my phone from the Tregaron Conservancy. Tregaron is 13 acres of historic gardens, meadows, and trails, free and open to the public every day, and right in the middle of Washington, D.C.

Over the past 3 years I’ve had the good fortune to teach outdoor yoga classes there, and it’s been such a lovely experience.

So, to avoid packing, and because it felt important, I posted some memories and a bunch of photos on my blog. Lots of frogs, tadpoles, native plants, stonewalls, dogs, yoga classes.

Take a look, if you like that sort of thing!

As we prepare to move from DC to Providence, Rhode Island, I’m thinking about some of the places I will miss. Today, when I should have been packing, instead I went down a rabbit hole of looking at my pictures from the Tregaron Conservancy. Over the past few years I’ve taken hundreds of pictures...

Less is more, especially for folks dealing with hypermobility in all its forms.

Less is More with EDS / HSD.

We honestly don’t need to push, force, squeeze, work to fatigue, progress quickly, do multiple sets of one exercise, work harder than others or compare ourselves to others to be successful in movement & daily functional life.

There’s still some old school approaches out there for working with EDS / HSD. This invariably ends up with the patient being blamed when this old school approach doesn’t work out. The patients are told they are being lazy, not working hard enough, not doing their homework, not pushing through the pain, catastrophising their symptoms and so on.

The secret lies in doing less in our approach to movement. Less stress, less pain, less emotional strain. The secret lies in listening to patients. And really, deeply understanding how EDS responds to movement. Less is More every time.

I did a video to demonstrate my approach to working with EDS / HSD & Less is More a couple of years ago. Link in the comments.

Have a great relaxing Less Is More kind of day. See how it feels.

OK this is too funny. Thanks Subtle Yoga with Kristine Weber for sharing.
