The "real" yoga happens here! 👇
Have you ever heard that phrase, "the pose begins when you want to leave it"?
I've always thought it was strange to say that discomfort was the point of the practice. It's not.
But, comfort isn't really the goal either.
Contentment is more the vibe we're going for.
Noticing if you're uncomfortable is important and then taking time to decide if the discomfort is immediately a bad thing. If it's uncomfortable because you're being challenged to grow, it might be worth sitting with rather than immediately seeking comfort or familiarity.
All that being said, at the end of every class I ask you to consider how you can bring what you've learned on the mat off the mat and into your life.
This is where the real yoga begins.
Your practice is teaching you to pay attention, to linger in the space between stimulus and response, to practice contentment, and to be mindful of how you're interacting with yourself and those around you.
Yoga helps you manage your child's meltdowns with compassion.
Yoga helps you take a beat before responding to that annoying email.
Yoga helps you detach from outcomes that don't go your way.
Yoga helps you stay calm in the midst of chaos.
Yoga helps you to stay present with the things that matter most in your life.
The real yoga happens off the mat.
The practice for all that 👆🏻 is what we're doing on the mat.
Join us for a class soon & experience the magic of yoga for yourself.
