My teaching is not about me..
It's about you!
But who I am as a teacher, is about my personal struggles and growth, it's about my practice and my teacher..

Ans so it go's on, from teacher to student, from practice to practice ❤️

I am sharing this post because I couldn't have said it better. Thank you 🙏

Modern yoga culture has become a mirror that only reflects what “YOU” want to see.
The tradition was designed to do the opposite.
A real practice challenges you. Has you observe the patterns that rule you. Shows you where you are attached, reactive, and asleep. It doesn’t validate your preferences. It refines your perception.
Yet, that’s not comfortable and that’s the point. Yoga is not personal preference or comfort Infact that only reinforces or habitual patterns.
And most people don’t want to want to pay for discomfort they want a lovely idea of yoga packaged as a wellness brand.

But it’s what yoga has always been. A deep personal practice. 🙏🏽
The tradition survived thousands of years not because it was agreeable. Because it was true.

June 21st join us for the practice of 108 sun salutations 8:30-10:30 am
The practice becomes less about performance and more about presence.
Breath by breath. Step by step. One salutation at a time.

The Summer Solstice marks the longest day of the year — a transition point, a shift in energy, a reminder of light, growth, and inner fire.

This practice is not about “pushing through.”
It’s about meeting yourself honestly.
Finding steadiness in discomfort.
Softening resistance.
And remembering that transformation happens through repetition, patience, and devotion.

We inherited a lot of fitness language that doesn’t belong everywhere.

“No pain, no gain” may work as motivation in some spaces — but yoga invites a different relationship.

Not laziness.
Not avoidance.
Awareness.

Sometimes the deepest progress happens when the body trusts the process enough to soften.

Your practice doesn’t need to hurt to be powerful.

It may be time to replace force with intelligence.

Also "If your yoga practice only feels good, you might be missing the point."

Sthira Sukham Asanam
(Yoga Sutra 2.46).

Sthira (स्थिर): translates to "steadiness," "stability," or "strength". This is the "effort" part of the practice—the discipline to hold a pose and meet challenges with focus.

Sukham (सुखम्): means "ease," "comfort," or "good space". This is the "feel-good" part of the practice—ensuring that even in effort, there is no aggression or strain.

True yoga exists in the union of these two. If you have only Sthira (effort), you become rigid and risk injury.
If you have only Sukha (ease), you may become stagnant or "zone out".

In Mysore, progress is earned quietly.
The lineage teaches through repetition

Some things can’t be rushed.
They can only be received.
Yoga was never meant to be consumed.
It was meant to be transmitted.
Mysore practice lives through paramparā — the quiet passing of knowledge from teacher to student, breath to breath, day by day.

Not through performance.
Not through comparison.
Through presence. Through repetition. Through trust.
Each adjustment, each inhale, each return to the mat becomes part of something older and wiser than trends.

This is the beauty of Mysore.
A personal practice held inside a living tradition.

If you’ve been craving depth instead of noise, this may be your path.

These days, it can feel like yoga is supposed to look a certain way—effortless poses, perfect lighting, calm faces, everything soft and beautiful. But that’s not the full story.

Real yoga can be messy. It can be uncomfortable. It can be frustrating and, yes, sometimes even painful. It asks you to show up and do the work, even when you don’t feel like it.

Retreats can be beautiful. They can be fun, inspiring, and give you space to breathe. But that’s not the whole of yoga. Yoga isn’t about escaping your life—it’s about learning how to live it.

It’s not about performing or pretending everything is peaceful. It’s not about putting on a mask of happiness. It’s about being honest with where you are and learning how to move through it.

The practice isn’t here to make things look perfect—it’s here to help you deal with real life.

DRISHTI, YOUR FOCUS POINT

Where is your focus point in life? What is the story you are telling yourself? Where are you taking your energy, your thoughts?

Your Drishti is important, and it's one of the Ashtanga yoga principles of practice.

In this world of multitasking and over information, your Drishti is a great tool to focus on the important (to you) stuff in life.
Being present at the moment is what we learn on the mat, and we learn to take it out to the "Real" world.

What is your Drishti?
