Hnin Sutra Yoga

Adaptation too is a form of practice ☺️

Sthira sukham āsanam.

Steady comfortable posture.

Perhaps this is not only about how we sit on the mat, but how we learn to meet life.

Steadiness without rigidity.
Ease without becoming passive.

Not forcing the body into a shape, but listening closely enough to know when to engage, when to soften, and when to stop resisting what is already here.

The practice is finding that place where effort and ease can exist together; and learning to carry that into everyday life.

In the beginning ,the mind is our teachers because it reveals our habits .

But through practice, it becomes our student; it learns steadiness, clarity and discernment. Eventually when its work is complete, it becomes transparent, allowing the light of the observer to shine unobstructed…

The purpose of asana is to be the tool of this journey.

Officially in my 3rd trimester 🐣🐣

The mantra has been “ keep going!” 😅

What came easy before requires effort..

Mysore classes with MM

Different body ,same Asana ,deeper awareness.

Repetition itself is a teacher!

No expectations. No distractions. Just one breath leading into the next.

As my pregnancy enters the sixth month, I’m witnessing the practice transform.

Some postures quietly bow out, while a few are still here for me to explore. It surely reminds me that nothing is permanent; not strength, not flexibility, not even the form of the practice.

What remains is the discipline to show up, the breath that guides me, and the awareness that carries me through every season.

✨The practice continues, only in a different form.✨

Strength is fleeting. Flexibility is fleeting. Experience is fleeting. Joy is fleeting. Sorrow is fleeting.

Everything that belongs to the body and the mind is ever-changing.

What remains is your devotion.
Your breath.
Your awareness.

Return to them again and again.
That is your practice.
That is your yoga.

The first step toward transformation is curiosity. In Sanātana Dharma, this spirit of inquiry “jijñāsā” is what invites us to look within and discover possibilities we may not yet see in ourselves.

What I always remind to students in the class , we are not here on the mat to pass time nor to escape nor to deny.. we are here to reflect & hold space and this cannot be done without curiosity..

21 weeks pregnant and still experiencing my best catches. Grateful for my teacher who knows exactly how to support the practice through every season of life. 🤍
