13 years ago, my Bikram practice was all about achieving the shape.
Touch your head to your knee. Lock out the standing leg. Find every sharp edge in Triangle. Work harder. Push further. Get results.
And while there is absolutely value in discipline, commitment and effort, my practice looks very different these days.
It’s softer.
Calmer.
Less about how the posture looks and more about how it feels.
I no longer measure a successful practice by how deep I go into a pose, but by the simple fact that I showed up.
Some days I feel strong and energised. Other days I feel tired, distracted or stretched thin by the demands of life and our business. Yet the mat continues to teach the same lesson over and over again: just keep coming back.
There is something incredibly powerful about showing up consistently, even when it’s imperfect. About committing to something long enough to watch it evolve alongside you. About staying curious rather than assuming you’ve mastered it all.
After 13 years, I am grateful. Grateful for a body that still allows me to practise. Grateful for the lessons, the challenges, the setbacks and the breakthroughs. Grateful that yoga continues to meet me exactly where I am.
The postures may not look the same as they did more than a decade ago, but the practice is richer for it.
Less striving.
More listening.
Less proving.
More presence.
And perhaps that’s been the greatest evolution of all. 🫶🏾💚
