Contemplative CrossFit with Frank Yang

"Spirituality is a program you run to dissolve all previous programs"

Welcome, Frank Yang – we love you! Frank is an “Infinite Brah” – a true bodybuilder of consciousness who shares his “journey, insights and practices for accessing the highest states of consciousness, awakening and beyond” to quote his fresh and wildly kinetic YouTube channel.

So, there’s lots of talk about the experience (and health benefits!) of non-duality and awakening, whether it shows up in different ways for people in different cultures, the value and traps of using a map to find your way, the primordial mistake of separation (what Tasha’s teacher Lama Lena calls “the original oops”), and other excellent topics for consciousness nerds.


If you like these adventures in consciousness, consider supporting our work with a paid subscription!


Then, 30 minutes in, he takes us to Frank Yang Land — a WONDERFUL and very impactful guided practice that merges mindful noting with surrendering to effortlessness. We hit the sweet spot between doing and non-doing.

And then we debrief, with a particular emphasis on the “sphincter-y quiver.” HA.


The Afterparty

In this lively Afterparty, we discuss what percent our suffering has actually been reduced in our lives through practice. Is it 99%, like Frank says for himself, or some other number? How does this change with external intensities (like having kids)? Would the Buddha have gotten his ass kicked if he had to raise two kids in our 21st-century urban insanity? Probably!

Let us know your thoughts in the comments:

*In an effort to sustain our antics, the Afterparty will move behind ye old paywall soon!


That’s all for now! Thanks for tuning in & see you next week.

Love always,

🧘🏽‍♀️ Tasha & Jeff 🧘🏼‍♂️
