There seems to be this obsession with wellness and a state of perfect health and equilibrium. Do you agree? Do you have a regular yoga practise? Do you feel like you should be doing more yoga? . . . Why is that?
I have admittedly put alot of pressure on myself to achieve my own yoga goals in the past and sometimes in the present. . . . Why? I ask myself. Why set myself up like that? Over the past 15 years I have come to realise that yoga is a part of me whether I meet myself on the mat for a total hour long practise everyday or not at all for what has been months at a time.
I have learned that I can quite effortlessly embrace myself with elements of yoga most days in a variety of ways. Instinctively and without pressure. Now that my days are so full with being a mother, I have realised that micro-moments of yoga in my day are absolutely good enough.
But my goddess is it sublime when I do carve out undisturbed yoga time! The surrender is a real treasured delight.
I believe yoga is a personal journey. Not something that takes comparing yourself to others or putting unrealistic pressures on yourself. An important thing to bear in mind as a female yogi is the fact that yoga was created for men's bodies - not women's bodies! That is another reason for my ethos.
Through yoga I have learned self compassion and I have deepened my ability to allow others grace when they need and deserve it. So whether you can drop into Sirsa Padasana like it's hot or your happy place is grounding down in Mountain - know that in my yoga sessions - you are your own best guide and I encourage you to really listen in to what your body wants to tell you.
In Love & Light ♡
