On living your yoga.

I find myself constantly revisiting the philosophy of yoga and all the many interpretations, descriptions and perspectives offered by teachers over thousands of years. It's amazing how these verses (known as sutras) have so much magic to offer and can land in different ways based on your own life experiences and where you are in this very moment.

The one that is resonating for me currently that I would love to share....

Sutra 1.1: Now Yoga Begins

The practice starts now.
You are ready.
It starts with meeting all parts of yourself with sweetness + love.
Wherever you are in your life, whatever you have brought with you to the mat, this is the perfect place to become curious about the field of yoga which is alive in you now. 
So take your seat, get comfortable, be in your body in present loving awareness.

And listen to the yoga as it is happening now - in your breath, in this posture.
It is happening in the ordinary way you clean your teeth and brush your hair and it shines in the extraordinary, a birth, a miracle, the sprouting of a seed.
Yoga is in the queues, in the cars, in the arguments and in death.
It is in the silence and the pauses.
It is found in this moment and in all of your moments.
Yoga is here, and you are your yoga.

Wishing you the most beautiful year ahead filled with all that life has to offer as you practice and live your yoga. Happy New Year!

In love, light + with gratitude,
Nicole
