Just like practice, this picture is raw. There’s no hiding, no cheating, no pretense. In life we can put on a good face, we can wear pretty clothes, use make up, spin the story to sound pretty. Once a person gets on the mat all that falls away. Repeated yoga practice over many years strips us away of all that’s untrue. It can be scary, exhausting, peaceful, and exhilarating. Some days I experience one emotion; other days I experience what feels like all the emotions. For now, all I know is I intend to keep on practicing.
I’m taking a one day hiatus from my stretching series to post about this day in my yoga journey.
