Yoga practice has an external form and an internal form. The external can show up nicely in pictures for those who take pictures nicely.
Internal forms show up relationally. They can’t be captured by a camera.
The way I see it:
-You can practice externally without practicing internally.
-You can practice internally without practicing externally. -External practice has a shorter shelf life than internal practice.
What does all of this mean?
The better long-term investment in your time is on the internal form.
So why practice externally at all? Frankly, If you can’t be alone with yourself, what are the odds that someone else will want to be in your company, either?
To get better at being better, having a practice that helps to improve your ability to be alone also helps you in your ability to be in relationship.
To be a better lover, brother, father, or community member: -learn a practice
-find some open space and practice
-get an accountability buddy -be alone, together.
If you are looking for a place to start, DM me. I teach practice one-on-one — in person and online.
Already started and need some coaching or an accountability buddy? Let me know.
