“Nature always has a way of guiding me back — to peace, to presence, to something infinite.”
Today, on International Yoga Day, we pause to honor an ancient practice that continues to shape us, hold us, and bring us home — not just to our bodies, but to our truest selves.
For me, Yoga has never lived only on the mat.
It’s in how I breathe through discomfort.
In the choice to be present when escape feels easier.
In the softening of old armor, the tending to quiet wounds,
the gentle, daily act of coming home — again and again.
Lately, when someone asks what I’ve been up to,
I smile and say, “Just working a lot.”
But the real work? It’s been soul-deep.
I’ve been rewiring my nervous system, learning to breathe through the storm.
Meeting my shadows. Shedding what no longer serves.
Slowly, quietly… (un)becoming.
This is yoga, too.
Not always visible. Not always graceful.
No applause. No perfect form.
Just breath. Just awareness. Just courage.
🧘♀️
Today, WE celebrate yoga in all its forms —
The flowing postures and the sacred stillness between them.
The silence of Savasana… and the louder lessons life brings off the mat.
The moments where mantra goes deeper than words,
and those where surrender asks for everything, yet promises nothing.
I honor Yoga as a teacher —
for what it allows me to offer to others.
But even more, I honor Yoga as a student —
for what it continues to teach me in return.
So here's your invitation:
Find your Yoga.
Wherever it lives.
However it finds you.
But may you truly live it —
With presence.
With love.
With deep, inner trust.
And if you’re in a quiet, healing season right now…
I see you.
You’re not alone.
