Whoâs been there? âŹïž
The day you almost stumble onto your mat, body stiff as the tin man . Mind wanders off like a distracted puppy. You move like a sloth, the heat drains you. And yet it seems every one else flows with ease and grace.
What you might not realise is that practice counts, maybe even more so than the days youâre flowing on your mat like a river.
Patanjali says it plainly in the Yoga Sutras.
Practice (abhyÄsa) becomes firmly rooted when it is
âą carried on for a long time,
âą without interruption,
âą with devotion and earnestness.
He doesnât say âwhen it feels amazingâ or âwhen you nail every pose.â
He says long time. No breaks. With heart.
That includes the mornings you drag yourself to the studio out of sheer stubborn love for the practice. The days youâre tired, grieving, distracted, or just plain canât be arsed.
So however you arrive, arrive!
See you on the mat tomorrow!
