The term yoga literally represents the joining of two things: mind & body. At its root, it is the practice of connecting and maintaining alignment with the deepest core elements within your body. It's the practice of listening carefully, of getting to know and love yourself.⠀
✨⠀
My practice has evolved a ton over the years. It started out with rigorous, meticulous styles, which offered me a sense of discipline and progress at a time of chaos in my life (when is life not chaotic tho, am i right 🙄).⠀
✨⠀
The more I listened, the more I started remembering. The more my practice shifted, not just on the mat in the way I move, but into glimmers and moments of expansion and awareness in the way I stand, speak and choose to be in every moment.⠀
✨⠀
It's a wanderers path. It's not linear. But nothing born from nature or built for great things is linear.⠀
✨⠀
Remembering is a journey. I've strayed off the path and been lost more times than I can recall.⠀
✨⠀
And so the practice becomes about listening and forgiving and learning to trust again - keeping your mind and heart open so you can feel for the subtle whispers that tell you you're on the right path. ⠀
✨ ⠀
Sometimes my practice is firey and transformstive. Sometimes it's sitting in stillness, wrapped in a warm blanket. Sometimes it's rest. Always, it's to me and for me⠀⠀
