Real talk: I did not want to teach tonight. I’m sniffly, juggling one thing from the next, & as you can probably tell from my eye bags, sleepy. Usually, teaching energizes me & brings me back peace; & tonight was no different.
Sometimes, it just feels like yoga asks a lot of us — whether as a teacher or student — to challenge ourselves even when we don’t feel like it. To notice what our bodies feel like when our brain is just on autopilot. To, very subtly & internally, work.
Yet, this is the very work we need. This constant self-study is what we need more than anything: to find what is NOT for us & to find what IS for us. & sometimes that coexists.
I didn’t want to teach tonight, but it was meant for me: to find peace, love & community encouragement. All I had to do was show up. 💜☮️
