"Yoga is a practice. A journey of progress not perfection"

Which is just as well, as last night when I went to bed I wasn't convinced I was going to be able to move at all this morning. My back issues were screaming at me after putting together some flat pack furniture. I climbed into bed with that old familiar intense burning and aching in my lower back that I haven't experieneced in a while and wondered if, when I woke this morning, whether I may have seized up completely. Those of you with back issues will be nodding and saying, "I hear you". Sometimes there are things our backs just don't like us doing, but me being me, and being fiercely independent and a bit of a perfectionist, I ignored what my body was saying and pushed through wanting to finish the job

This morning I climbed on to the mat apologising to my students, explaining I may not be able to demo quite everything I had planned for the class and may have to adjust and modify my own practice to suit my back today. An hour later and I had surprised myself

There is never a day I step off the mat and say, "I wish I hadn't done yoga today". I've never felt that. Ever.

However your body feels, yoga is an invitation to move, to breathe and to flow. To bring in life force, energy, healing...physically and emotionally...to allow the synovial fluid some freedom to flow and to lubricate the joints and to create space within. You modify your practice as to how your body feels in the moment. That's what's important. No two practices will ever feel entirely the same. You do what feels right for you and your body

I stepped away from the mat this morning (as I hope my students did too) feeling looser, lighter, less stuck, stiff, clunky & cranky. To the point where after class I felt so good, I thought I'd have a try at Vrischikasana. Now, my Scorpion pose will never be some amazing insta glowing scorpion pose - metal rods & plates in my lower back mean backbends just aren't very accessible for me - and I'm fine with that - because yoga is a practice, not a competition

Progression over perfection, always. It's about the journey into the pose and how the pose feels. Your body, your journey, your yoga

Some days, a more gentle practice is just what the body needs. For me, a Monday morning calls for a gentler practice, a kinder practice. A practice that still feels good, but eases the body into movement, that moves the body to work through stiffness and aches that can develop overnight. We don't always need to push our practice to feel good. Join me Mondays via Zoom, 10am for a 60 minute gentle flow. Feel what's happening in the body, connect with the mind, flow with the breath and move with ease. Leave feeling supple, soothed, and ready for the day.
