Returning to the Mat This September 🍂
The practice you see here is my own practice. It includes challenges that have developed through many years of learning, exploring and returning to my mat and exploring how my body moves .
Your practice does not need to look like mine—or anyone else’s.
Whether you are a complete beginner, already practise regularly, or have drifted away and would like to become more consistent, yoga simply asks you to begin where you are.
Our September theme at Sukha Wellness Shala is Rooted in Practice.
In Yoga Sutra 1.14, Patanjali writes:
Sa tu dīrgha-kāla-nairantarya-satkārāsevito dṛḍha-bhūmiḥ.
“Practice becomes firmly rooted when it is continued over time, without interruption, and with sincere care and devotion.”
This does not mean that we must practise perfectly or never miss a day. It reminds us that lasting change comes from returning—patiently, regularly and with kindness towards ourselves.
As the season begins to change, perhaps it is time to consider what your body and wellbeing need. Your starting point might simply be some gentle movement, stretching, mobility or a few quiet moments to breathe.
We are often very good at caring for everyone else while forgetting to offer ourselves that same care.
This September, why not make a little time for you?
You are worth returning to.
At Sukha Wellness Shala, we will meet you exactly where you are and help you find the right place to begin. 🤍
