Being ok with not practicing my usual yoga practice.

Hello , so I have practiced yoga for 16 years and it has always been at the forefront of my wellbeing. It saved my life. I began to practice a method called Ashtanga and spiritually and emotionally I grew beyond what i thought possible. I then got qualified to teach Yoga and decided that this was the style i wanted to share as the effects were so powerful. It requires a level of discipline and can at times ( if you choose) be quite physically challenging.
8 years later I have learnt so many other tools to support my mental health. Flow collective being one of them. I am celebrating being the most content in myself than ever, without needing to change or prove myself, just a knowing in my heart.
My practice has taken a back seat and although my inner self is strong , my body is not as strong. I still practice at times but I am finding a spark is missing in it. I have also had some injuries and somewhere in my practice is agrivating it. I stopped practicing the postures over summer and although my fitness and strength has weakened I have stayed stable in myself.
I have this internal conflict of not wanting to do what has been so good for me for years. I am not sure if I am lazy, or approaching my practice from a dirty place or that I just do not need it like i used to. I can not get clear on what I want and how to move forward. The more i think about it all the more layers and confused i get. I thought i would ask a coach to help me clean it all up.

 

 

Answer:

Thank you for bringing your question here. What clarity has come to you since you submitted your entry? Listen and honor that.

Notice your models happening:

C: I practice yoga (insert how often, be specific)

T: I am lazy

F: how do you feel?

A: how do you show up? What do you do or not do?

R: What is your result?

C: I practice yoga (insert how often, be specific.)

T: I just do not need it like I used to.

F: How do you feel?

A: How do you show up? What do you do or not do?

R: What is your result?

Notice in your action lines that it may be more of your internal dialogue than outward behaviour.

Notice your brain is stuck in some all or nothing thinking where it feels like you either do daily practice or you quit entirely forever. That is a lie. You get to create the life you want.

See what comes up in your models and bring them back for more coaching.
