On the Mat: My Personal Practice

I always have an excuse not to show up to practice. I am tired, I don't want to move, I am stressed, I have other things on my mind. The excuses go on and on. I often let the excuses override the benefits of a simple sequence. A sequence that is designed for the relief of my everyday life from working to teaching to the administrative aspects of my business (the sitting), to the super-hard two-hour workouts of lifting weights and Muay-Thai. I rely on my body to do everything.

When I first started my yoga practice; I was learning all the cool shapes that I wanted to get my body into and going to class with my siblings/best friends was often more of a social gathering. When I became a teacher -yoga became my livelihood and competition with myself and others about who can do what. (don’t get me wrong I still can bust it open if need be; it requires more warm-up now.) I feel like a healthy competition with others in the space is needed for inspiration and motivation that is why I love group classes because I feed off the energy in the adrenaline.

During covid, my yoga studio closed and I decide to move back to Miami and well my practice has become simple! At the moment, I have found that in simplicity lies insight and ultimately the question I had been avoiding for years. 



What does my body need? 


We often avoided giving our body what it needs because intuitively we know that we are not listening. to our basic needs. We are moving from a space of this what I want my body to do, rather than letting this practice is to be a meeting with self.
