yoga, a practice

we ended this weekend’s night practice with meditation.

as I sat in stillness, I felt a tight, heavy sensation in my throat.

I held back tears, unsure if I was ready to feel the full weight of them.

as I drove home from the studio, the tears came gently, powerfully.

they were unlike any I’ve known- of inspiration, soul-knowing, of deep, transformative healing.

this weekend stirred something powerful within me.

a calling to deepen my own yoga practice and a desire to hold space for others as they deepen theirs.

while practice teaching, I fumbled through my words, through the cues, through the sequence.

but still, I felt joy. I felt purpose. I felt immense gratitude- to share this space, these breaths, this learning, this practice with myself and this beautiful community feels sacred.

I feel connected- to my body, to others, to something greater.

I want to offer what yoga has given me- to guide others through this practice to find their own path physically, mentally, spiritually, and to create space for their growth, their healing, their becoming.

I am finding my voice, and with it, a deep love and reverence for this journey, this universe, and this practice.

With love,

Ovi xx
