Yoga as an Experiment: Learn to Trust Your Body on the Mat

What if you came to your yoga mat without needing to know the “right” way to do everything?

For today’s Mindful Monday, I want to invite you to approach your practice as an experiment. Think of yourself as a scientist or a researcher. Whether you are practicing chair yoga, moving on the floor, or exploring a standing posture, you are there to notice, test, and discover what works for you.

This is not about mastering yoga. It is about learning your body and learning more about yourself.

Chair Yoga When You Are Injured: A Gentle Way to Keep Caring for Yourself

Chair Yoga When You Are Injured: A Gentle Way to Keep Caring for Yourself

When you are dealing with pain, injury, surgery, or a difficult season in your body, it is easy to think, "I can't do yoga right now."

Maybe you do not feel strong. Maybe your confidence has been shaken. Maybe your body is asking for more support than it used to.

But gentle yoga and chair yoga are not only for the days when you feel strong, flexible, or ready to do more. The beauty of this practice is that it can meet you in the season you are actually living.

Today, I want to share Kelly's story.
Kelly is a longtime student of mine, and she shared how much chair yoga meant to her during a time when she was dealing with back pain, hip pain, and then a hip replacement. In her words, when she could not do anything else, chair yoga was the only thing she could do.

That is powerful.
