If You Can Breathe, You Can Do Yoga
This phrase has been moving through me like a gentle whack on the back of my head since I took my first yoga class as a teen. My first thought was wow, this is amazing. I’m in my own space ship and I can navigate my life from here in a healthy and positive way. I felt this practice of yoga was a huge clue to using my energy for good. My second thought was the one that came with a whack. Why don’t my friends do yoga? Why doesn’t everyone do yoga? Why isn’t this as simple as drinking water? And so the pull, just like so many of us who are drawn into a life supported by creating a good connection to self and others begins.
While we were in Berlin leading our 200+Hour Yoga Training, I was so pleased to hear this phrase, If you can breathe, you can do yoga, brought up over and over. Part of what makes yoga accessible isn’t only that it’s available, it’s in how you practice and how the practice is led to you. With Strala Yoga, we focus on moving well, in a way that feels like you, not in a way where you feel like you are trying to be good at this yoga. There is no pushing or forcing yourself. There is plenty of challenge, without the negative self talk or stress. There is ease and calm and noticing how you feel. We are so proud to practice in this diverse and joyful global community where it’s easy to be support each other because we practice being comfortable with ourselves.
We’re so grateful to practice with you at StralaHome.
