On yoga practice

I may not be the most dedicated student. I know I’m not the most disciplined student.

I may be lazy and I get so overwhelmed by my own problems that sometimes is unbearably to practice.

I get disconnected. My breath becomes irregular. My focus gets lost. And there I am: stiff body and stiff mind.

Yoga is an invitation to heal. And as we practice, all the struggles, the pain and suffering that lay deep down inside us, eventually comes to the surface.

That’s when the knees start to hurt, and the arms, and the legs and the wrists, and then everything aches and we feel like we’re stuck into an old man or old woman’s body.

The beauty of this is that we are being given the opportunity to improve ourselves, to become more conscious, to become aware of all the parts of our soul that still need to be polished.

With time, method and devotion, we experience the true connection with ourselves, with who we really are, that part of us that is not subjected to criticism nor self-doubt.
