I came for the movement. I stayed for the stillness. š
When I first started yoga, I came for the obvious things.
The movement. The stretching. The feeling of working my body and nailing the āadvancedā poses.
And, if Iām honest, I loved getting stronger too.
Years of practice have changed my body in ways I didnāt necessarily expect. I have more strength, more muscle definition, better balance and a much greater awareness of how my body moves. I love feeling capable in my body, not because it looks a certain way, but because it feels strong and helps me thrive in my day to day life.
But thatās not why I keep coming back. Somewhere along the way, I discovered the stillness.
The few minutes when I stop trying to achieve anything.
The quieter breath. The meditation. Helping my mind to finally stops running ahead of me.
Thatās the bit I didnāt know I needed. Yoga has taught me that strength isnāt just about how long I can hold a pose. Itās also about being able to pause. To breathe. To notice. To listen to my body rather than constantly asking it to do more.
And thatās why, after all these years, I still roll out my mat. I came for the movement. I stayed for the stillness.
And somewhere in between, I learned how to feel more at home in my own body.
Thatās the yoga I want to share with you. Not yoga that asks you to perform. But the one where you learn so much more about yourself. Then and only then will you find what youāre capable of.
