This word annoys me (but it perfectly describes yoga)

There's a word that's often used to talk about yoga, and it annoys me for two reasons:
That word is holistic. What does it actually mean? It means we take the whole person into account. That yoga has an impact on our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health... nothing less. And I'm talking about this today because I know you don't have much time. That you're looking for what's most effective. And there's nothing more effective than a holistic approach. Your body gains strength and mobility, your mind calms down, your nervous system learns to regulate stress better. Except that... you can also do yoga (or exercise) in a way that's not holistic at all. When I started, I only cared about flexibility. It was my strong point (thanks genetics), so I wanted the most impressive splits, to become an Instagram star. As a result, my body became hypermobile but unstable, and I experienced injuries that should never have happened. Similarly, some people swear by weight training and lose all mobility (the famous bodybuilder who can't scratch his own back). In either extreme, imbalances create tension, pain, and increased risk of injury. Of course, we all do what we can with the time and energy we have. And it's already brilliant to move, whatever way that looks like. But what I've come to understand over time is that a truly holistic approach combines three pillars:
That's exactly what therapeutic yoga offers. Short but targeted routines that, done regularly with the "little and often" principle, allow the body to age gracefully without losing vitality. Ready for a practice designed specifically for you? I'm opening the doors for a couple of people who want to finish the year on a high 😊 Answer these questions so I can know your situation better, and I'll come back to you very soon. Take care 🧡 Clem |

There are two fundamental skills I believe everyone should develop as early as possible: emotional regulation and body awareness. Most people get why emotional regulation matters. It's the ability to recognise an emotion arriving, identify it precisely (sometimes anger is actually fear, or a subtler feeling like injustice), and pause before responding... so you can respond thoughtfully rather than reactively. But body awareness's trickier. You might be thinking: "Of course I know when I'm in...
It's not a secret that I've been dealing with anxiety for a long, long time. I often feel like my brain is working against me, telling me that I don't do enough, that I could do more, and that whatever I do, I better do perfectly (or else). I'm dealing with that much better than I used to, but I'm also aware this is something I will have to deal with forever. Still, I'm always looking for ways to make sure the anxiety doesn't take too much space. Which led me to the realisation that I had...
"I don't want to do yoga, I want to start a revolution!" "I don't want to calm down, I want to change everything!" If you don't know her... she's an icon I completely understand the sentiment. The powers that be want us to calm down, to be docile, to accept things as they are, and to let them get on with their dodgy dealings on their own. If we do yoga, aren't we playing right into their hands, really? And why should it be our responsibility to calm ourselves down, when we'd be much calmer if...
