Lately I’ve been reflecting on what I feel makes an “advanced” student of yoga.
Not the shapes, not the strength, not the performance… but the qualities I’m learning to see in myself.
Awareness instead of ego.
Breath that guides instead of rushes.
Time given to myself, even when it’s uncomfortable.
Living the philosophy, not just reading it.
Acceptance — real, soft, steady acceptance.
Contentment with what I have, while still growing with intention.
Kindness in the small everyday choices.
And a bit of play… because wobbling and laughing is part of the practice too.
There are so many more — but these are the ones alive in me right now.
Maybe they’re alive in you too.
