You don’t do yoga because you secretly want to master a handstand.
You do it because you don’t want to sit something out.
Saturday was the Sugar Loaf.
Blue skies in February. Crisp air.
My husband beside me.
Asha treating sheep poo like it had been thoughtfully prepared for her.
It wasn’t extreme. It wasn’t a fitness test.
It was just a really good day where my body quietly kept up.
Later, one of my members wrote after her own walk with friends:
“Things like this are my main motivation for doing yoga, to keep me fit and active enough as I get older.”
That’s it.
Not splits.
Not fancy shapes.
Not proving anything.
Just the ability to say yes.
Yes to hills.
Yes to uneven ground.
Yes to spontaneous plans.
Yes to getting down on the floor and back up without bracing yourself first.
This is what we’re actually training for.
For the ability to go out and live life fully without our body holding us back.
If that’s your motivation too, you’re my kind of person.
And you already understand why the daily practice matters.
