Some days I need more rest and less intensity. Some days I want the quiet of home where I can wear whatever and play whatever music I like, and not be distracted or surrounded by a lot of other yogis.
Some days I just want my practice to feel good. I'm allowed to let the practice be sweet. To focus on ease. Sukha, the sweetness. Cherishing that. Lingering. Not forcing anything.
Today, I let my practice be all about compassion toward myself. Ahimsa, doing no harm.
I gave love to all the places in my body that needed love. I took rest without any sense of shame, dissatisfaction or guilt.
Each day in this practice is different. Honor where you are right now. Let go.
