Living you yoga does not mean..

Living your yoga does not mean getting it right all the time.
It doesn’t mean waking up at 5 a.m., meditating for an hour, or perfecting your breath-to-movement ratio in every vinyasa.

It does not mean you’ll always feel peaceful, or that you’ll never be reactive again.
It doesn’t mean renouncing your life, your cravings, or your coffee.
And it certainly doesn’t mean you have to perform being spiritual to prove your devotion.

Living your yoga means something quieter.
And something far more radical than appearances.

Yoga Is Not the Outer Form

The outer form of yoga, the shapes, the flow, the aesthetics, can support the practice, but it is not the practice itself.

The heart of yoga is not something you can see from the outside.

It lives in the decisions you make when no one is watching.

It’s in the moment you pause before reacting.
It’s in how you return to yourself after falling out of integrity.
It’s in how you treat your body when no one is measuring your progress.
And it’s especially in how you respond to the uncomfortable parts of your own inner life.

And that’s where most of us are being invited now.

Returning Is the Practice

Patañjali’s Yoga Sūtras begins with a simple statement:

“Atha yogānuśāsanam”- Now, the teachings of yoga.

This word “now” is not just a poetic introduction. It’s an instruction.

Yoga begins now.
Not when you’ve cleaned up your act.
Not when your life looks a certain way.
Not when your schedule clears.

Now.
In the mess.
In the noise.
In the forgetting and the remembering.

The Stillness Beneath

Stillness is not the absence of sound or movement, it’s the ground beneath both.
It’s what remains when striving softens.
It’s the unshaken center that waits patiently beneath the turbulence.

But here’s the truth: most of us haven’t been taught how to access it.
We know how to hustle.
We know how to fix.
We even know how to “heal” in a way that feels productive.

But rest?
True, sacred rest?
That’s a skill most of us never learned.

And yet, that is where the deepest yoga lives, not in pushing forward, but in learning to stop.
