Whereas in the past I have felt an urgency to do something, to speak out, to organize, to take action, right now I feel a kind of paralysis, maybe something like shock. So much feels like it’s in a downward spiral— personal, professional, national, global.

There is so much chaos energy swirling around so many things that I hold dear. It's an exercise in non-attachment just to exist, let alone resist.

My teacher emphasized the importance of dedicating years to asana practice, allowing the more subtle aspects of yoga to emerge naturally. As our practice transforms us and yoga works its magic, we will naturally gravitate towards the deeper dimensions of the spiritual journey.
