There’s a few lines in a poem called What Carries Us by Emily Jungmin Yoon , that have been sticking with me:

In this era of brevity in this era of metal in this
era of abbreviation, yes, I’m trying to make you

think of me longer.

It’s become trite to say that life moves too quickly, but it doesn’t make it any less true or easier to deal with. As we find our unique ways of navigating, what is it that supports you when times are unpeaceful? How do you find an inner sense of stability, even when the ground is moving and the winds are blowing? What carries you?

Join me for practice in March, and let’s explore what carries us in, on our yoga mats.

The inspiration for the name of this session comes from this quote by one of my teachers, Michael Stone:

“Reawakening love and intimacy for one’s self and beyond requires practice. This is not because love is something far away from us but because we forget. We forget that intimacy is near. We forget how to relax with others. We forget we are whole. Realization is a kind of remembering rather than an achievement or virtuosic accomplishment. Practice awakens the dormant and often invisible interiors of mind, body, and heart in order to establish a more tender, responsive, creative, and active self.”

More than ever, we need to remember what’s important. Practice helps us realign to what’s meaningful for us, here.

Humans are meaning-makers, and the stories we tell ourselves tend to be the ones that affirm our beliefs about the world and ourselves. They tend to be stories that prop up our sense of identity and worth. This makes sense: we need some sort of stability in the chaos.

Then again, these stories can also bind us.

Our yoga practice is about seeing through those stories, and realizing what they are: just stories. With great tenderness and compassion, we season our stories with a proverbial grain of salt, in order to make room for the unknown. Yes, this can be destabilizing and scary. And, it can also be freeing.

Let practice help with deepening our capacity to settle into the unknown.
