Being an online yoga creator is all fun and games until this moment… 😂
There I am, trying to create a calm, peaceful practice for YouTube. Soft movement, steady breath, finding that little pocket of stillness…
And then suddenly… 🫠
But actually, I think this is something so many of us can relate to, whether you’re filming yoga, practising at home, trying to meditate, reading a book, or simply having five minutes to yourself.
We imagine finding peace means everything around us has to be peaceful too.
But real life is noisy. The dog barks. The phone goes off. Someone starts drilling. The washing machine is on. Your mind wanders. Something interrupts you.
And maybe the practice isn’t about waiting for everything to be quiet before we can find our calm….
Maybe it’s learning that we can come back to ourselves even when life is still happening around us. 🤍
So yes, I was slightly annoyed in this moment 😂 but it was also a pretty good reminder of what we actually practise yoga for.
Not to escape real life, but to meet it with a little more steadiness, softness and space.
Although… neighbour, a little less drilling during filming next time would still be appreciated. 😂🧘🏼♀️
