Abhyasa is the yoga of showing up, and commitment is the key to your growth.
Forget practice makes perfect: the most powerful yoga practice is one that is consistent. In yogic philosophy, this consistency is called abhyasa; steady, devoted practice over long periods of time.
Discipline in yoga looks more like a gentle guide back to the mat, rather than a harsh disciplinarian forcing you to return. Practice is practice no matter how messy, imperfect, or unmotivated. In fact, we’d argue that the imperfect practices are where the real yoga begins.
Remember, practice doesn’t look the same every day. Some days practice will mean an hour long Equanimity Flow, and some days practice will mean ten minutes of watching your breath. Some days, practice is a deep breath in and out when you’re stuck at another red light.
Abhyasa, or repeated practice, is one of the two pillars of yoga, and is what we’re focusing on this month in our blog. For those doing the Practice Project yoga challenge, you’ll find this especially applicable. Head to our blog via the link in bio to read more.
