on my mat ·

dear community -

what do you gain from your practice on your mat that you carry with you into the world?

on my mat, i meet myself.
in this sacred space -
i am safely held to carry all the pieces of me
in soft open palms of acceptance.

the deeper waters i tread here, 
the more buoyancy i realize i contain
even if in the midst of it all it can feel more like drowning. 

for to give myself the gift of truly knowing and understanding
all of the parts of me buried in the depths of all that i am 
reminds me that - 
i am too soft sacred space.

for every fracture i thought broken and discarded was simply 
reflecting its own light, sometimes so blinding -
it’s difficult to even want to see them. 

but it is here on my mat that i can get still enough to
listen to the quiet whispers of all the fragments of me long forgotten -hidden...
or more often in plain sight.

only to walk off of it - a little more me. 

meet yourself on your mat beside me and mine
during my weekly group yoga offerings or private one-on-one sessions.
i look forward to supporting you in all that you discover. ♡

from my heart to yours,
lo
