Sitting here being a dog pillow enjoying the peace of this night. I’ve been really contemplating my place within the yoga world for the last few months and how I can be authentic and honest when I’m really struggling. After some searching, reading some articles and some real stories a few things have really struck me. I know I’m aging and dealing with injuries that take time to heal and some that might linger forever. I’m learning that the big and complicated (and the ones I have always wanted to get)poses don’t work in my body and seeing that maybe I need to let go of the ego that I allow to present itself in my practice. After 2 hamstring tears, sports doctors recommending I never fully straighten my legs in any pose and now a bad back injury I’m recognizing that it’s the little things that count. The basic practice, the breathing, the connection, recognizing those same needs in people around me but mostly stepping off my mat and moving through the world with the same mindfulness and intention that I offer on my mat. We are all connected. So I’m sitting here. Absorbing this realization. Every person I’ve ever met has a story. A hardship. Sadness so deep it takes your breath from your body. Loneliness. Beautiful bittersweet moments. But it’s love. Love that opens us. Love that hurts us. Love that grows us and love is what we hope for and hopefully move towards. I’m so grateful for every person I’ve met. Connected with. Even if it was brief. Thank you.
Wishing everyone breath taking love moments. Merry Christmas. ❤️
