Reflections from the mat // The start of a series of honest & personal reflections from my own yoga asana practice…
🖤 The practice I did today was slow & gentle and I struggled with it. There’s apart of me, a very mean part, telling me I always need to be moving faster and making my practice harder at the moment. Wanting to turn my practice into a workout, with a desire to get back to where I was a few years ago ~ Hello ego
🖤 Ego raising its pesky head again when struggling with things I “should” be able to do ~ let it go, let it go, let it go
🖤 Laughter at not being able to match the right movement to inhale/exhale ~ sometimes this comes to me and other times, often when I’m overthinking it, it all goes to pot and I have to just accept it. Progress made by accepting this rather than getting frustrated with self :)
🖤 The sweetness of Shavasana, oh how blissful, there really is nothing quite like it and what keeps me coming back to practice time and time again. A reminder of how important my practice is for my mental health & how I miss it when I don’t make time.
Personal reflections I want to start sharing purely to humanise the experience, provide accountability to myself to continue to devote the time and with a hope it might spark curiosity in your own practice as to what’s showing up for you.
If you enjoy this kind of share please let me know, I’d also love to hear what’s been coming up for you in your practice Fx ♥️
