you can come in, take what you want, and leave without paying or lie about what you took, so that you can pay less. or you can get what you need, pay the real price, and walk away living your life with integrity and respect for others who are doing the work.

which one is it going to be?

if you’ve practised with me, you’ve probably heard me invite you to dedicate your practice to someone or something else as your intention. now more than ever, i feel how relevant this is.

expanding on last week's note about the importance of practice in deepening the mind-body connection, i thought more about the kind of practice many of us already have in our toolkit: asana.

i went through a bit of a rough patch recently, feeling completely out of sync. nothing made sense, nothing felt right. it just wasn’t clicking. little things were annoying me, i just couldn’t get the hang of it.

i often think about being a yogi and what it means in the current world. can we even call ourselves yogis? and to what extent? is it subjective? do we just pick and choose what suits, avoiding deeper inquiry?
