Very true

Yoga is a practice of presence, not perfection. It’s not about getting "good" at the poses or achieving the perfect form, but rather about showing up, being patient with yourself, and learning from your practice. It’s okay not to be flexible or strong right away, as yoga is about cultivating self-awareness and mindfulness, not competition.

This mindset encourages a deeper connection to your body and mind. Over time, yoga can help you develop strength, flexibility, and focus, but it’s the journey that matters most. Every time you step onto your mat, you’re making progress. It’s the consistency and intention behind your practice that makes it transformative.

Remember, yoga is about personal growth, self-care, and connection, not achieving an ideal. Keep practicing, keep learning, and honor your body at every stage of your journey. 🌱💫

This time of year can quietly turn practice into another task to manage.
Another thing to stay on top of.
Another place to be “good”.

But yoga was never meant to compete with your life.

Some seasons ask for consistency.
Others ask for care.

If your practice feels smaller, quieter, or different right now, that doesn’t mean it’s failing.
It means it’s adapting.

Gentleness is not a lack of discipline.
It’s an intelligent response.

At the year’s deepest dark, we pause together.
The light will return, slowly, surely, and so will hope.
Winter Solstice blessings to you, wherever you stand.

I got pulled over by the police once for doing something daft because of this very thing.

Give yourself time to get to class safely.
