YOGA TEACHES US THAT NOT ALL PROGRESS IS SEEN 🤍
There is no question that Yoga is a beautiful equipped practice at improving physical strength, flexibility and mobility - but today, I want to ask you … What about INSIDE?
Often the internal progress we experience through Yoga is overlooked because it’s unseen.
For ex, if you have spent years training to build the strength/ flexibility for a certain posture, the end result is visible but what about those feelings of pride, joy, patience & determination? The times you picked yourself up after every fall? The times you practiced even though life was busy& hard? The time you sat in meditation before rushing off to work?
That is all PROGRESS.
I consider my greatest progress in Yoga to be my growth, my capacity to be empathetic, compassionate, patient, gentle, playful, present & content.
We live in a world that thrives of instant gratification & external validation which is why I believe, we all “collectively” need Yoga now more than ever before.
We need to remember that we are more than our bodies, we are more than our jobs, we are more than our achievements.
So my reminder to you all today is, regardless of how well or not you believe your physical practice is progressing, take a moment to pause and see all the growth and process you’ve made internally through your practice.
The progress that is truly life changing and matters the most is often the progress that is unseen, but felt 🤍
Much love to you all! xx C
