Yoga at its best can be quietly revolutionary but the revolution goes on inside of you.
With diligent time set aside every day your body and brain will transform over time.
Out of depression and worries, anxieties and existential angst. Whatever is bothering you, yoga over time and with a gentle teacher can address it.
So much of the world is performative, competitive, fake, temporary and all about shallow appearances.
Yoga when done alone and all for yourself can slowly but surely heal and regrow parts of yourself you thought had died.
It is about the teacher though, the more genuine, authentic, non-competitive and nourishing the teacher is, the better the outcome in my experience.
I’ve tried to convince people I know having serious problems in their lives to give yoga a go, but you can lead a horse to water as the saying goes.
Our world is frenetic with a thousand and one demands on people’s time, energy and attention.
Yoga is a massive middle finger to that. It says YOU as in the real essence of YOU is all that matters here and you will quieten your body and mind in order to listen. It’s pure alchemy and magic that lingers in you afterwards.

What a fabulous video. I’m more of a qi gong bod, but can see that yoga brings its own form of body-mind nourishment. I must re-learn some of the less challenging moves here. I recently watched an on-line summit on anxiety and trauma resolution with some seriously academic neuro-scientists including Drs. Ron and Don Siegel (don’t know if they’re related) and time and again the importance of body-breathe-energy work (yoga/qi gong/tai chi) was stressed as important for mitigating anxiety responses; stopping the negative mind-chatter for one thing; getting mind and body on the same side. Short of that, it seems to me, looking at that beautifully peaceful dog, a brain transplant could be a good option – canine variety of course.

I love that you do Qi Gong I have seen a video of this before it looks beautiful and peaceful I think I will give it a try. That academic seminar sounds wonderful as well! This is a timely reminder to slow down and focus on the breath instead of listening to the brain chatter, thank you dear Tish and big hugs
