I turn 55 towards the end of this year and I’ve lived enough life to know that growth doesn’t stop because you lack ability, it stops because you become highly competent at managing yourself.
Most of us function well, we know how to hold responsibility, regulate emotion, meet expectations and keep moving. But functioning is not the same as evolving in the way that you truly desire.
I don’t believe Yoga entered my life as a way to become more flexible or calm (although these are wonderful bi-products) I already had strategies for those.
Yoga arrived as a practice that revealed something more powerful: in how much I could stay present for without bracing, forcing or “going through the motions”.
Yoga supports us on more than a physical level. It asks us:
Can you remain steady when sensation increases?
Can you apply effort without urgency?
Can you stay connected when things feel demanding or unfamiliar?
As I age, I am interested in a body that supports the life I’m choosing, not one I have to manage my life around. Yoga sharpens that discernment, by showing you where effort is intelligent and where it’s compensatory. in you body and in you life.
That skill stays with you, when you leave your mat so that you notice where you are present and where you are merely enduring.
It changes how you lead, how you make decisions, how you love and how you trust.
I don’t practice yoga to stay young (although I am physically stronger and more flexible than I was in my 20s) I practice it to stay available to the next evolution of myself and to trust that I am capable of it.
Yoga is less about the shapes you make and more about the capacity you build and that is what continues to matter to me as I guide your into 2026 on your mat.
