There was a time where all of these shapes were part of my daily practice, and for a while I really thought that was what progression in yoga looked like. Going deeper, pushing further, getting into the more âadvancedâ physical poses.
But over time, things change. Life changes, the body changes, your energy changes⌠and whether you realise it or not, your practice has to change with it.
For me, stepping away from some of these poses wasnât because I couldnât do them anymore. It was because they stopped being what I needed.
And I think this is something that doesnât get spoken about enough.
Weâre often encouraged to keep building, keep achieving, keep doing more⌠but yoga isnât really about that. Itâs about understanding what supports you, and having the awareness to respond to that honestly.
Learning how to adapt your practice is a huge part of this. Not as a second-best option, but as the practice itself.
Because when you can meet your body where itâs at, rather than where you think it should be, everything starts to feel a bit more sustainable⌠and a lot more supportive.
And that kind of flexibility goes far beyond the physical shapes.
Itâs what allows you to move with life a bit more ease, rather than constantly pushing against it.
This is something I bring into my classes a lot - giving you space to actually work with your body, not force it into something itâs not ready for.
