Listen "The Hardest Part of Yoga is Getting to Your Mat"
Episode Synopsis
I'm excited to share a personal reflection on my yoga practice and the challenges of maintaining it amidst different environments and circumstances. Finding solitude and a peaceful space for practice is essential, but there's also great value in practicing yoga around family and loved ones. I often navigate the internal conflicts between my desire for solitude and my need to be with family, using yoga to balance these conflicting parts of myself. Consistency is key, even when it feels difficult or inconvenient, as it helps maintain balance and inner peace.
