Disconnected
I’d been feeling somewhat disconnected from yoga – both my own practice and my teaching – and perhaps more worryingly, from my own body in general, for some time. In the post-pandemic world this accelerated into overdrive, leaving me feeling stuck in my own head and seemingly unable to get out. I was fighting with myself to find solutions which only served to exacerbate the situation; adding an unhelpful layer of frustration and selfflagellation at my self-perceived inability to manage something that I felt ‘should’ be simple.
Reflecting on this, my lack of self-compassion feels so unkind, though that’s a great realisation in itself. Yet things had been so different; whilst I sorely missed the real-life richness of in-person teaching and practicing that was swiftly taken away during the pandemic, I did enjoy having this time and space to immerse, explore and play – experiencing new practices and connecting in different ways. I particularly remember one online yin session with Ilse Sobering from House of Inner Power Yoga (@houseofinnerpower) where I joined a group of grateful others, practicing in true harmony: 90 minutes passing in a flash and feeling genuinely sad when it ended as I felt so in tune with my own body and mind, and truly connected with every other person in the ‘room’.
