So much of our suffering comes not from life itself, but from our resistance to the way life naturally flows. We complain, stress, and worry about things that were never in our control to begin with.

The rain will fall whether you complain or not.
Traffic will exist whether you stress or not.
People will act how they want whether you worry or not.

No amount of frustration changes reality. It only steals your peace.

Life becomes lighter the moment you focus on what you can change
and release what you cannot.

You can control your reactions, not the weather.
You can control your patience, not the traffic.
You can control your boundaries, not other people’s behaviour.
You can control your attitude, not the outcome.

This is where true freedom begins.

Buddhism teaches that suffering arises from resistance.
When we cling to how things should be, we fight against life.
When we accept things as they are, we create space for peace to enter.
Acceptance is not giving up; it is choosing not to argue with reality.

Let go of the illusion of control.
Let go of the need to fix everything.
Let go of the constant battle with what is already happening.

Once you stop fighting life,
you begin to live it.

How are you starting your New Year?
What about starting with a ‘reset’?
Yoga Nidra is a simple and very comfortable way to RELAX, which in return allows space for your nervous system to do some healing.
This is a very simple practice. We will be together for an hour. Yes, you have to get in the floor…but we will not be moving through vinyasas (poses).
