Often, at the end of a yoga class, students meet me at the door to review their experience. With smiles, shrugs or apologies, they describe how their bodies moved through the series of poses we practiced, explaining stories, feelings or thoughts. It seems that it is only once they have finished this review that they may move on from the practice and into the rest of their day.
More often than not, this review is a chronicle of all the poses they couldn’t do and why. They provide stories of past injuries, years of repetitive movement or endless days seated at desks.
On the surface, these may seem like excuses. But there is much more to it than that.
The review comes about because yoga is a process as much as a practice. As we move through a yoga practice of any kind, we are meant to observe our own experience. When this observation is supported by the lightness of breath and the curiosity of learning more about our inner selves, it becomes a positive and beautiful thing. When it comes from a place of self-criticism or discontent, it becomes harmful and no longer serves us.
When the review of a yoga practice focuses on what we can’t do it is fuelled by the habit of comparison. It is built on our attachment to our expectations and our desire to be different, to feel different, or to be able to do different things. The notion that we are right where we are supposed to be does not occur to us. In that moment, it passes us by.
The on-line world of yoga is full of images of celebrities and professionals who are in much different places than the rest of us. They are photographed in difficult yoga poses and in amazing locations. Some of these photos are indeed very beautiful, but they reveal little of the discernment, commitment and reflection that a consistent yoga practice requires.
Images such as these connect with our expectations and desires. And as our habit of comparison arises, we forget to acknowledge that other people’s starting points are different from our own.
So, we may forget that it might be easier for a young person with a background in gymnastics or dance to master the Ashtanga Primary Series at an early age. We may fail to recognize the impact that past injuries have on our mobility. Or we may avoid admitting the limitations of the transitions or life-changing circumstances we have experienced.
We forget to acknowledge our starting points.
We are never in the same place on our journey as someone else. Sometimes, we move along on parallel tracks passing each other with a smile and a nod. Or we may bump into each other on the same track with some surprise and delight at our arrival there. We may think we see people far off in the distance, half-real and half-imagined and wonder if we will ever connect. The reality is that though are paths are intertwined, they are also unique.
We have different starting points.
It is up to us to choose how we observe and process our yoga practice. We can decide to chronicle the poses we can do rather than the those we can’t. We can choose to accept where we are.
And that place, where we are, doesn’t need to be where anyone else is. In fact, I imagine there is someone else, squinting into the distance at us, leaning into the possibility that our paths will someday cross.
Thank you for being here.
Enjoy a virtual tour of our boutique studio!
🌼 **Reignite the Flame of Your Practice**:
If your yoga mat has been gathering dust lately, don't fret! We've all been there. Life can get busy, and sometimes our practice takes a backseat. But now, it's your chance to rekindle the flame and embrace the countless
physical, mental, and emotional benefits that yoga has to offer.
✨ **What to Expect**: As you return to your yoga routine, expect to feel a mix of emotions – excitement, and maybe even a touch of apprehension. All of this is normal. Remember, yoga is not about being perfect; it's about being present. Embrace where you are right now, and let the practice guide you on your unique path.
🧘♂️ **Ease into It**: If it's been a while since you rolled out your mat, it's essential to ease back into your practice. Maybe start with a Yin Stretch Class Listen to your body and allow it to regain strength and flexibility gradually.
🌟 **Set Realistic Goals**: As you return to your yoga routine, set realistic goals for yourself. Maybe it's practicing a few times a week or mastering a new pose. Remember that progress is a journey, not a destination.
💥 **Stay Inspired**: Explore new styles of yoga, try different classes (barre! 6am! chair!), and workshops. Variety can reignite your passion and keep your practice fresh.
📅 **Mark Your Calendar**: Dedicate specific times to your practice. Just as you schedule meetings and appointments, prioritize your yoga sessions in your calendar. Consistency is key.
🙏 **Remember Why You Started**: Reflect on the reasons that initially drew you to yoga. Whether it's stress relief, flexibility, strength, or inner peace, keep these motivations in mind as you return to your practice.
