As much as yoga teaches us trust, it never guarantees a life free of stress or hardship. What it does do is give us the tools to navigate the hard stuff more easily and with more equanimity.
To be truly present requires us to trust the decisions that brought us to this moment. We can neither fear the future nor rue the past if we are truly being present. In our practice of santosha or contentment, we learn how to do that. No one can authentically be in this moment without working with the light and the shadows within.
That this is soul work makes it complicated work, but also the most rewarding. I am not teaching yoga. I am offering a space for people to find their sweetness through yoga and then bring that out into the world. That takes time and it also takes commitment on my part and theirs. When someone asks to extend their package when they haven't shown up for months, it hurts a little. I'm committed to their practice, but are they?
