liberation

True freedom comes when we free ourselves from the limitations placed upon us.

Limitations are placed by our selves and others. We stand in our own way, or allow others to prevent us from being the fullest version of our unique self.

Movement provides many possibilities for new ways of learning, expanding, breathing and being.

To move in a new direction, to shift a small part, can take us to new places, and to familiar places in new ways.

Familiarity can feel comfortable. But repeating the same patterns over will never provide new opportunities of growth, teachings, or the opportunities to learn or rediscover our authentic truths.

Liberation comes when we learn to unlearn the ideas we have adopted.

We have these ideas of how everything should be. We carry these ideas subconsciously, allowing them to subtly shift the trajectory of our journeys. Or we have others tell us how things should be and we believe them, or attempt to believe them.

We even have ideas of how we should move. Ideas of what Yoga is, what breath is, mindfulness, presence, meditation and so on. When truthfully, none of it can be adequately expressed by words alone.

These things have to be felt.

And it’s liberating to feel in the moment, to act from our truth, to be how we are now. In each moment.

Bodies speak more than the mouth and mind ever could. They tell a truth that belies all the words, all the thoughts and assumptions.

Movement is the language of the body. Liberating us from our minds - from all the things we should, could, would be. To just being.

Like the invisible interconnectedness of mind, body and spirit, movement allows liberation from mind, from limitations.

Movement can be medicine. If we learn to stand aside, and let it speak to us.

The body never lies.

Freedom comes when we learn how to read, and feel what the heart speaks.
