Yoga isn’t just about the postures we make—it’s about the way we meet ourselves within them.
Lately I’ve been sitting with the idea that I am not just a body to align, or a mind to quiet, or breath to monitor. I am layered—complex, shifting, and whole.
In yoga philosophy, the Koshas offer a map of those layers:
🧘♀️ Annamaya — the physical body
🌬 Pranamaya — the breath body
🧠 Manomaya — the mental/emotional body
🌀 Vijnanamaya — the wisdom body
✨ Anandamaya — the bliss body
For a long time, I thought I had to fix or perfect each one.
Now, I’m practicing a different approach: one that’s slower, quieter, more curious.
Less control. More compassion.
It’s a soft way of being—one that doesn’t rush to the next pose, thought, or breakthrough.
Just a breath at a time, a layer at a time.
