Let’s be honest.
On social media, there is a way of being present
that has become almost constant.
Posting every day.
Sharing everything.
Exposing one’s life and personal stories just to stay visible.
Do we really need to know how yoga teachers prepare their latte, or every little detail of their day?
Does that really relate to yoga, or to being present on your mat and in your practice?
Frankly, this is not my language.
And it tends to make me noxious.
If it’s the way to attract more people to my classes or workshops I just say : No way !
It’s not what I want to do or where my interest lies.
Even the little time I spend here
already feels like too much.
Too much noise. Too much agitation.
Too much distance from what is real.

The more I practice, and the more I age with practice,
the clearer it becomes:
A need to withdraw.
To listen.
To be silent.
To simplify.
To transmit quietly —
through presence, through repetition, through time.
To share and experience with students
in real life, in a real yoga environment.

Yoga is everywhere and accessible to everyone now.
And I truly think it’s a good thing.
With social media, it’s more visible than ever.
But visibility is not depth.
And exposure is not practice.

sa tu dīrgha-kāla-nairantarya-satkārāsevitaḥ dṛḍha-bhūmiḥ
Practice becomes firmly grounded
when pursued for a long time,
without interruption,
and with dedication.
(Yoga Sutra I.14)

Here, nothing flashy. Nothing fancy. Nothing “Instagram-able.”
Nothing glamorous enough to be sold.
Just a time for practice.
Just a breath to feel time.
Just a space to feel breath.
An experience of practice and life.
Away from screens. Away from virtuality.
