What does an advanced Yoga practice really look like?
It may not be the deepest expression in the room.
For Julie, one of our teachers at INYE, a mature practice is one in which we learn to listen—to recognize that every body comes with its own structure, history, mobility, strengths and limitations.
There is no one-size-fits-all Yoga practice.
Sometimes wisdom means going deeper.
Sometimes it means using a prop.
Sometimes it means choosing a different variation.
And sometimes, even when we can go further, it means consciously choosing not to.
The goal isn’t to make your body look like someone else’s practice.
It is to develop enough awareness to recognize what is right for your body, today.
As Julie so beautifully puts it, the practitioners who impress her most aren’t necessarily those who go deepest into a pose, but those who approach their practice consciously and deliberately.
Perhaps that is what advancement in Yoga really looks like:
Not greater performance, but greater awareness. 🌿
Home is where the OM is.
