It is a practice, give yourself grace and let go of keeping pace

- Julia Oliver

Thank you for taking the time to practice today. You are exactly where you need to be, and you are enough. It is okay if you become frustrated, distracted, or uncomfortable at different points in these classes. You are cultivating resilience, and all of us here are learning to let go of old stories. A story may be that you have to do more in order to be enough, that finding ease or relaxing is a “waste of time”or you are just too busy for it, that you do not deserve to create this space of being without more doing… I am with you. I have had these thoughts too. The slow pace of the reconnection phase classes or the stillness of meditation may be really different and hard at first. As my first yoga teacher told me, “you are a beginner for the first eight years, keep practicing”. At different points in this journey, you will unlock incremental ability to shift your experience from living for the demands of the world to being present with your whole, embodied self.

It is there you will find, you belong. - Julia
