Yoga isn’t something you have to be ‘good’ at to do.
If we come to yoga with a perfectionist mindset or feel it’s not for us because our Downward Facing Dog looked different to someone else’s, we are missing the whole point.
🧘🏼♀️Yoga is for you, for your body, for your breath 🧘🏻♂️
Yoga teaches us to go within. If we are constantly comparing our postures, our body or our breath length to someone else, then we haven’t truly gone within.
It’s easy to see how we compare and wonder if we are doing things the right way. From a young age we are bombarded with ‘this is how you do it’ from parents, teachers, friends. Then we grow up with peer pressure, telling us how we should look and act. We become an adult and get a job which tells us to do things a certain way. We see celebrity culture influencing us to find ways to be just like them so we’ll feel more worthy.
So now we try a yoga class and our conditioning makes us wonder if we did it right, if we wore the right clothes, if someone thought our lunge was wrong, and if we fit in.
But this is all unattainable and takes us away from our true self.
Turning your attention inwards means you no longer have thoughts of ‘am I good enough’. You just are. You feel your body in each posture and know your own limits. You find your own rhythm of breath. You let the feeling of presence take over your body and let your mind get quiet. You forget anyone else is there.
This is yoga.
This is healing from years of conditioning and thinking we aren’t good enough.
It takes practice, and truly feeling. But it’s worth it.
You are enough, and you are worthy of being here 🥰
