And no more so than in our yoga practice.<\/p>\n<p>For the first few years of my yoga practice, I felt it was nothing short of <strong>miraculous<\/strong>. Yoga gave my body and mind a feeling of <strong>lightness<\/strong>, <strong>freedom<\/strong>, <strong>health<\/strong> and <strong>spaciousness<\/strong> that I\u2019d never experienced before.<\/p>\n<p>Yoga does make me feel <strong>happier<\/strong> and more <strong>energised<\/strong> and really does bring a brighter, lighter quality to my days.<\/p>\n<p>It is funny, it takes years to get the hardest muscle in the body to work properly, that muscle is <strong>discipline<\/strong>. Once that muscle is working, we learn to<strong> roll out our mats<\/strong> at home every morning, or every evening, or whenever we can, and we diligently realise that our <strong>freedom is found<\/strong> within that rectangular space in our living rooms.<\/p>\n<p>But the shapes and the structure of yoga are structured. After a few decades of the practice, the shapes can seem just a bit, well, linear. We realise that sometimes yes, we feel freedom when we make the shapes, but<strong> tension can creep in with all those straight lines.<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Like a drunk in the midnight choir, I have tried, in my way, to be free.&#8221; &#8211; Leonard Cohen<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It makes me question, what is yoga, <strong>what is the best form of movement for my body,<\/strong> and what is freedom, anyway?! And like Leonard Cohen, I\u2019m not sure that my attempts at freedom are always spot on, but<strong> I sure do try.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We have a new <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/movementformodernlife.com\/challenge-finding-freedom\">challenge<\/a><\/strong> if you are tempted to <strong>break free from the confines of your yoga practice as you know it,<\/strong> and you want to see what life is like on the other side.
