Yoga Asana prepare the body to be able to sit with ease. To sit with ease in the body. To sit with ease with one's self. To be able to look in the mirror and not be judgy or hard on ourselves but to just sit and notice. Sit and be with what is -- the good, the bad, the messy -- all of it. Sit and notice how FRICKIN' amazing and divine you are as part of a cosmic whole. To sit. To sit with ease with one's self. 🧘🏻♀️🧘🏻♂️ Way easier said than done. That's why it is called a practice. If it were easy everyone would be doing it. Tapping into the essence of who you truly are is the greatest journey you'll ever take. And it's not all about DOING to figure this out. Yes there is a lot of "work" in this process but most it happens when you sit. When you stop the doing to just sit with yourself. When the inertia is shifted from running from one thing to the next as a part of "who you are" to slowing down, reflecting, and allowing the truth of who you are to reveal itself this begins the inner work (a "work-in" as I recently heard a teacher call it) rather than a work-out. 🧘🏻♂️🧘🏻♀️ Next time you step on your mat, I encourage you to notice how your Asana feel. Can you feel like you are sitting with steadiness and ease in each of your postures? Or are you in the inertia of DOING? How is your posture? seated posture? Standing posture? What does your posture reveal? 🧘🏻♂️🧘🏻♀️ Final note, Asana the postures are just a tool, not the end goal. To sit with ease is just a step to the infinite possibilities that happen when you can sit with ease with one's self. #sitwithease #meditation #yogateacher #foodforthought #svadhyaya #asana #yogateachercontinuingeducation #yogawisdom #ayurveda #chairpose #utkatasana #sitwithyourself #holisticmindset #yogamom https://www.instagram.com/p/B5TbZXEnfUx/?igshid=n4qvc1zde7rr
