✨Summer Strong
✨Week 2

Last week we explored breath and containment. The vessel that holds our energy. We explored where we feel the breath in our bodies and often used our exhales to prompt deeper core support. We also used our exhales to sigh, to release.

🔥This week, we explore building heat.

When building a fire, we don’t start by throwing on the biggest logs (I may have tried this before) hoping for the best 🫣.

We begin gently. We blow softly on the embers. We tend to what is ALREADY there.

The yogic concept of tapas is often translated as “inner fire,” but it is also discipline, dedication, and the willingness to keep showing up.

Not because we FEEL inspired every day.

Not because we’re trying our hardest every moment.

✨But because small, consistent actions have the power to transform us.✨

This week, we’ll also explore the relationship between heat and form

When we hold a posture like a plank, a chair pose, a warrior, we begin to feel warmth building in the body. 😅

Muscles awaken.
Circulation increases.
The joints are nourished by movement and stability.
The body learns how to support itself.

That heat is not something to fear or fight against.
It is information.
It’s uncomfortable.
It’s 🔥.

The sensation of effort.
The sensation of adaptation.
The sensation of strength being developed in real time.

As we stay with the shape, we discover that strength isn’t only about moving more.
Sometimes it is about holding steady. Staying present.
Breathing through discomfort without immediately trying to escape it.

Just as breath gently awakens a fire, attention and dedication awaken the body’s capacity for strength.

Heat is built breath by breath.
Practice by practice.
Moment by moment.

In a world that often falls into the all-or-nothing approach, tapas invites us into something different: steady effort, patient dedication, and trust in the process.

🔥This week, notice how you tend your own fire.🔥

What helps you show up on the days when motivation is low?

What are the small rituals, reminders, or practices that keep your embers glowing?

Share below! we’d love to learn from one another. 🔥

Obviously I like the 🔥 emoji.
