Growth is Not Linear

Patanjali described the eight aspects of yoga as limbs of a tree. Wisdom and spirituality unfold in the same manner as a tree grows. Nature is steady and gradual. The world of yoga, with its myriad of styles + approaches, may be likened to the a forest filled with variety and color. Every tree in the forest has the same goal, to reach towards the light.

You see, yoga looks like this. And that. And the other thing. And it’s also never gonna look exactly how you think it’s supposed to look. Being brave enough to continue to explore is where the real magic happens.

One tree’s method is not better than another’s. Each species has individual characteristics which enable it to grow to its greatest potential. The various yogic systems are unique, yet we all have the same purpose:
TO GROW TOWARDS ENLIGHTENMENT.

Stay interested. Be curious. Show up. I LOVE YOU.
