HOW TO EMBODY YOUR PRACTICE
(I’m not shouting at you - I just want to get your attention 😁)
What if I said that yoga wasn’t about getting your body into the posture, but using the posture to arrive in your body?
Yoga asana (the postures or shapes) gives us means to arrive.
A stretch, a physical point of resistance if you like. Or a wobble - I know you just love a balance.
Perhaps a place where something feels strong, unfamiliar, uncomfortable or absolutely divine 🤤
But then, rather than immediately adjusting it, fixing it, deepening it or moving on…What happens if you stay?
Long enough to actually feel the physical sensation, where it begins then-changes. Where you resist it and how you can soften.
And- what do you do when it becomes uncomfortable?
When given enough time eventually sensation changes or passes.
And what’s left? 😎 yes babe- your mind!
The thoughts that appear while you’re still, stories you told yourself about whether you could do it. The overwhelming urge to escape - (mostly)
Or judgement? How critical are you of yourself or the poor innocent teacher making you do it 🤣
Or boredom that’s a big one… and impatience.
Silence maybe?
This is where I think asana becomes really interesting and such a teacher.
The physical practice gives us something tangible to explore, but the longer we stay, the more we begin to notice that we’re not just studying the body but studying ourselves.
And it isn’t by sitting perfectly still and trying to empty the mind that’s not really the goal- but we give the mind somewhere to reveal itself.
There are many ways into a posture.
Our practice isn’t about finding the perfect shape - what’s perfect anyway? The gift is being curious enough to find out what the shape has to teach you about what’s inside the shape.
That’s yoga baby 🤩 wanna explore? Come to class. I got you 🫶
