Lessons from the sea

Yoga and me are still lovers. We still have a very special thing going on. But the thing is that when you turn your passion into your profession things shift a lot. It’s so easy for practice to turn to work, to be thinking of sharing rather than being in the practice.

There was a time when I was only practicing movement on the mat, nowhere else (and I know that’s not a complete exercise before you all chime in, but it was what was needed for me in that moment, and I was all good with it). Recently though I’ve been getting all up in my head rather than into my body when I’m on the mat. It’s no big deal, and I’ve been here before - the spirals we see in nature are also in us and our patterns and behaviours.

So now I’ve opened my relationship with yoga right up, yeah my practice is still there (you can tell when a yogi isn’t practicing by the way they guide a session FYI, there’s even actual studies on the subject). But now,  right now, I’m finding barre (shouts to @pip_barsanti) running and surfing so deeply nourishing. This water sign is loving the sweat and the sea.  Who’d have thunk it?! 

This summer is all about spending more time outside after being in the house for so long, and so we have just returned from a aweekend in Devon. It was all camping in the rain, boujie wines, lots of laughter and some surf. (if you want to learn to surf head to @surfingcroydebay because they are ace and so so so lovely and appear to really not mind saying the same things to me over and over whilst I wait for them to land in my body)

Recent lessons from the sea : she serves them up to you just like time on the mat does : a massive salty mirror reflecting your shit back at you......

Instead of looking for the issues ahead and not being present in where you are, just move around them when you get there (or maybe they will move for you).

Having fun maybe way more important to me than doing something “right”.

There is always another wave. Just go again.
