permission to pause

With the lights turned low and only the glow of my salt lamp, I turned on some music, rolled out my mat and danced through the transitions between poses. There’s nothing quite like connecting movement with breath and getting into a flow state.

Testing my balance and noticing where I could dig a little deeper, I was reminded of the importance of intrinsic strength and focus. It’s important to stick with something, even when it feels wobbly.

Stretching and relaxing on the ground, I feel that release. The moment when stress melts away. I turn to my side, slowly sit up and open my eyes. The full moon greets me in the window, glowing and illuminating the room. Everything feels calm.

Today I completed a seven day yoga challenge that gave me the space I needed to pause. I would’ve missed some beautiful moments if I hadn’t slowed down. I hope you take those moments for yourself this coming week. We all deserve permission to pause.
