Trust That you'll Figure It Out!
I had to have a plan (in my case, a very elaborate one) to help me counteract an overactive nervous system. This would often lead to forgetfulness, an inability to trust my intuition, and take the most important and informed lead from my students. When this mentality is fed these outdated beliefs, I can guarantee it’s easier not to show up.
When there was no plan, there was no practice.
One of the greatest lessons in my yoga teaching mentorship was discarding my plan. It began not so much as tearing it up and disposing of it completely, but evolved. I was encouraged to place it somewhere different, where I didn't have immediate access to it. Sometimes, if it were at the back of the room, it would force me to move through the room and the bodies on their mats to get there. At first, it was target fixation just to get there to see where the plan would lead next, and then it became an opportunity to observe and watch, and free me up to become more natural.
How does this relate to your yoga practice? Not having a plan each time you come to your mat gives you so much freedom and opportunity to have the experience that you are meant to have for the very moment.
When you stop trusting yourself, you stifle your ability to trust that you have something to give yourself and / or share with others.
When you practice with carefree abandon, here'se what happens:
🎯Perfection makes way for exploration
🎯Rushing makes space for slowing down
🎯Racing thoughts clear the path for clarity and peace
🎯Seriousness creates room for more playfulness and laughter
🎯Numbness makes way for feeling.
The greatest disservice any of us can do for ourselves is not take action, and at least try something different.
Stay curious with yourself, your practice, and the world around you.
Thank you for being here, and we look forward to being of yoga service to you ⭐
