“Pressure is a Privilege”

As I see it, those of us who come to a yoga class are looking for more than the perfect pose. The physical practice of yoga helps the body, and attention to our breath, thoughts and reflection on our actions are also in the package of what a yoga practice develops in us.

“Pressure is a privilege and champions adjust” Billie Jean King

For us, pressure is to live up to our standards and values we set for ourselves. The system of yoga gives us all the guidelines, tools and inspiration to lead us.

We are privileged persons who show up in a yoga class, surrounded by a friendly yoga community in order to see ourselves more clearly and to adjust where needed to be more caring, more thoughtful and more loving.

The more aware we are there is more pressure to set our standards higher and live up to them. The privilege is we all have what we need to do this.

“The potential for our love to create a macro impact on the world is based on the amount of love we are able to put into our micro connections. Because all our actions hold energy, everything we do has the power to affect another person. How do you treat others? How do you talk to people? Whether it is your best friend or a stranger, be someone who sees them, who affirms their dignity and who honors their humanity. Be a person  who gives someone the relief of knowing that the world ain’t so bad after all.”  Cleo Wade

I love our yoga community and all of you who show up to share our practices together. I appreciate I get to teach and be with all of you wonderful people who care about how you live in the world and want to take care of yourself and be the best person you can be. This is an uplifting, good will energy to put ourselves in and this increases our well being.

I look forward to 2025 together! And wish everyone a healthy, prosperous, full of joy new year!

Much love,

Lou
