#whatileftontheyogamat biggest lesson this year, stop giving so much of yourself to people who would not pour even a drop back. generosity needs boundaries too.
#whatileftontheyogamat
I left revenge on the mat today.
it never fit me anyway.
I used to run back to harm as soon as it smiled at me. Now I let distance do the healing.
karma does not need my help.
time is a better witness than anger.
peace is a long game.

sometimes the best thing someone can do for you is treat you so badly that you have no choice but to finally see them clearly.
it is a brutal kind of grace the kind that forces you out of delusion and into freedom. I left fantasy on the mat today.
#WhatILeftOnTheYogaMat
From the mat, where I learn and unlearn:
I have realised balance is not about 50/50.
It is about knowing when to stop showing up for one sided things.

From the mat, where I learn and unlearn, it is called anger, I call it sadness that finally asked to be heard.

peace is not passive. it is the discipline of no longer reaching for what hurts.
#whatileftontheyogamat
I went to heal and found harm.
correction turned to control, silence became currency.
some yoga studios teach posture not presence
#whatileftontheyogamat belonging!
today I remembered how they used to corner me with their mats. I would move mine to another side.
they called it distance, it was survival for me. I left the need to belong where I wasn’t wanted.& found myself instead. not every room that smells like sage is safe

vigilance. I noticed how my body still checks for danger when it is quiet. how my shoulders lift, even when I am alone.
So I placed that vigilance beside the mat like an old tool I no longer need. it twitched. but it stayed there.
safety begins when i stop scanning.
