Decided to cut off some distractions by deactivating some social media accounts. I feel like I allowed myself to wander off too much. I need all the headspace I need to focus on what sustains my existence and what feels aligned. This month will just be Ashtanga classes. Yesterday, I taught my last themed class for March and it felt so good! I feel more in tuned with myself. But I don’t think I can sustain offering different sequences/classes on a weekly basis. Hoping to find more alignment, however that means!

I got myself sprained last Sunday. It HURTS SO MUCH. Hahaha
Right now, it’s either I’m far or near to a semblance of normal walking - I can’t tell. But I surely can’t wait to get back on my feet…
In my Telegram newsletter, I discussed about the practice of yoga without asanas. Going over the limbs of yoga, I realized that yoga is filled with many text sources. There’s Bhagavad Gita, Hatha Yoga Paradipika, Patanjali’s Sutras (where the 8 Limbs of Yoga can be found), and other religious texts that molded yoga. Having so many resources, I wonder how we can go about defining what yoga is all about – how yoga is. Where is the “middle ground”, the intersection of it all? Where do I place my existence in this vastness? It seems like I’m just getting lost every time I go deeper. And I confidently know within me that there’s nothing more, nothing that goes beyond, nowhere to go deeper.
Ah, feeling even more scattered!
