Trust: Have Courage and Trust Yourself

If yoga is just being ware of how things are now, then will you just be okay with whatever happens and never change or grow? Will you become lazy b being content? Yoga doesn’t make us passive in situations that aren’t good for us. It puts us in touch with your needs, our feelings, our current situation and gives us the courage to respect and listen to our own voice. Awareness empowers our ability to act in a way that is good for us. When we become more aware that a pose is painful, then we have a choice to be kind to ourselves and free ourselves gently from it. This is true for areas of our lives beyond the mat too.

Yoga encourages us to be able to hold onto what can seem like two contradictory ideas at once – to become more comfortable with exactly where and who we are and to expand our ability to work toward finding what is right for us. Yoga helps us tolerate the inevitable paradox of being alive, then over time even to welcome life’s paradoxes.
