Lately, my practice has started to feel familiar again…
But in a totally different way.
If you’ve been following me, you probably noticed I drifted away from my mat for a bit. Not completely — but enough that I felt the difference.
I wasn’t practicing every week.
And when I did, it felt like a chore more than something I wanted to do.
I had to be honest with myself about why I even practice — and what I was trying to prove.
Taking that break actually taught me a lot.
It made me realise the poses and physical stuff? That’s not really what I needed or ended up craving.
They’re kind of just the surface.
What I really needed was the calm, the focus, the routine, the lessons off the mat — the stuff that helps me show up for everything else in life.

That space away ended up being more valuable than I expected.
Because it reminded me that the poses, the progress, the aesthetic — they’re just the surface layer.
What I really needed was the steadiness. The stillness. The clarity.
The lessons that live in the quiet moments off the mat.
It brought me back to a truth I keep relearning:
Yoga isn’t about being consistent for the sake of it, or achieving a certain shape.
It’s about finding your way back — gently, honestly — to the part of you that feels like home.
This photo’s from my retreat in June, in a pose I used to chase like it meant something about my worth.
Now? It feels like breath. Like softness. Like a full-circle return.
If your practice looks different right now — or if you’ve taken a break — I totally get it.
We don’t always come back the same way. And honestly? That’s perfectly okay.💕
