Practicing yoga is about finding alignment with who we are. As the world around us changes, we must adapt to maintain this alignment.
Finding alignment is not an endpoint, but rather a journey. These pauses, reflections, and redirections allow us to be the wayfinders of our own life.
Change is a stimulus – it is a messenger asking you to make a choice on how to respond. And the beauty is that in that choice, the power is ours.
How do we choose to charter these uneasy waters?
We use a “map”!
We might not know where we’re going, but we know what we want to see along the way.
Maybe water, beaches, mountains, rainforests, icebergs, prairies.
Maybe love, laughter, curiousity, courage, connection, truth.
By looking at what we value on our journey, we can make decisions to choose a path that takes us there.
Yoga helps us make that map – the landscapes of our lives. It reminds us of what we want to see, don’t want to see, and gives us the courage to move forward on our path.
Life will always change, but these values, the pranayama, the meditations, the asana, will always be there to help guide you.
While our journey on the mat together may be ending, our journey off the mat never does.
