My, magic pill, my secret weapon… my happy place.
Yoga is so much more than just exercise for me.
It’s the thing that challenges me, calms me + helps me change my thought patterns.
It’s the thing that guided me through my depression after graduating college in the midst of a recession.
And years later when I was struggling to figure out my purpose in life.
And again when I was deep in my grief after my husband died.
I’ve done it for 15 years now off + on and I’m still not great at it.
But I keep coming back to the mat, time after time…
To willfully sit in discomfort.
To practice patience.
To observe my mind.
To calm my nerves.
To set my intentions.
To gain flexibility.
To work out the kinks (mentally + physically).
To stretch.
To gain strength.
To meditate.
To learn.
To grow.
To feel.
To breathe.
And to find a little bit of peace in this crazy world.
I continue with this practice bc it makes me a better human for myself + everyone around me.
And I think literally 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 can benefit from it.
I look at this video and I see my rounded back, my droopy arm + the shorts that I definitely cut too short on one side.
But I also see the flexibility I gained.
(Remember those fitness tests in school? Well, I was about one whole foot away from reaching my toes. 𝘓𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘢𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘸.)
I see tranquility in my mind + my heart.
I see the principles of yoga that have softened me.
... and helped me find space between my triggers + my reactions.
And connects me w/ my highest self.
Yoga isn’t easy.
It’s frustrating, uncomfortable + illuminates 𝘢𝘭𝘭 your weaknesses.
But such is LIFE.
And yoga gives you the most applicable tools for dealing with the inevitable ups + downs.
I don’t do yoga bc I’m at peace.
I do yoga bc it brings me peace.
And I invite you to do the same.
Try it, you might just love it. 🙏🏻🖤✌🏼
