#eternalsplits

Transitions matter in your yoga practice as much if not sometimes more than the asana itself. How you enter and exit a posture is where technique is expressed. The methodology of practice is not about one pose after another but about the coordination of breathe with movement. The how of the asana reveals the inner nature more that the what of the asana. Fling the body carelessly towards a shape without awareness is a game of chance. Force the body into a pose it isn’t ready for is a rollercoaster of suffering. Instead, listen to the body, befriend the body, breathe with the body, feel the body, love the body.. and you will unlock the natural intelligence contained within every particle of your being.

I’ve heard people describe me as “nice” recently but it wasn’t always that way. People used to call me bitchy, aloof, demanding, selfish and all sorts of other stuff. I wouldn’t say they were wrong. I would say that the nice person I am today is the result of over twenty years of yoga practice. Yoga opened my heart up to God, made me feel comfortable in my own skin, and has give me so much peace. So if you experience my kindness, compassion and joy, it’s actually a mirror of the kindness, compassion and joy that you contain within yourself as well. We are on the path together.

Sometimes the way is narrow, steep and singular. And sometimes the road is filled with beautiful sights and sounds. If one path is blocked, it can sometimes work to try a different route and it can sometimes be ok to let it go. It’s all journey, and what matters more than where we go is how we feel along the way.

The center of our world is defined by our attention. What we worship is expressed in our thoughts and actions. Everything is a mirror. Everyone is connected. Separation is the illusion.

I have always been self conscious of my legs and thighs. I had been told that I was not well proportioned, that my lower body needed to be smaller. If only legs were a little longer… If only my thighs weren’t so thick… If only I could be a tad taller… If only there wasn’t any cellulite… These were the words and phrases that stuck from growing up in a world where so few people with my shape were seen as desirable. Too small, too thick, too round, too muscular, too puffy. It has taken years to love the body I have and it’s always a work in progress. I know so many women don’t wear shorts because they’re self-conscious about their legs. I hope that changes and we can all be comfortable enough to wear what makes us happy and feel good.

A small change in perspective can make a revolutionary difference. Sometimes we need a kind of wake up call to make a big shift. Yoga is not just about stretching the body, we also have to stretch the mind. Next workshops: NYC, Miami, Mallorca, Montreal 😊 Practice with me online @omstarsofficial LIVE every Wednesday at 1 pm.

There is a place within each day of us that yearns for more. And there is place within each of us that rests in the immutable perfection of all that is. These opposing forces coexist at the intersection of humanity. In fact it could be argued that contrast is by its very nature part of what it means to be human. We are defined not by sameness but by the contradictions we contain.
