Today, after a week that felt like I’d been juggling computer files, unfinished projects, and mountains of laundry, I finally decided to gift myself one last moment of calm, yoga. You know that feeling when you’ve spent the day doing everything but “becoming yourself”? Well, tonight, I put down my digital chaos and rolled out my yoga mat for a little self-creation session.
I arrived at my mat feeling both exhausted and strangely exhilarated. My day had been a mixed bag: I attempted to keep busy on Hive (spoiler alert: it didn’t go as planned), and now I’m faced with the undeniable evidence of my many, many unfinished projects staring back at me from the screen. Instead of scrolling through my to-do list once again, I thought, “Why not pause and just breathe?” And that’s how my final yoga moment began.
I started with a few deep breaths, each one a silent protest against the chaos of deadlines and laundry. I could almost hear my inner self, that long-forgotten yogi, whispering, “Today, just be present.” So, with a smile (and a slight grimace remembering the last time I tried a challenging pose), I slipped into my favorite sequence.
First came a gentle sun salutation. I imagined the rising sun as a friendly reminder that every morning,and every day, brings new chances, even if sometimes those chances come with spilled coffee and misbehaving computers. As I moved from Downward Dog to Child’s Pose, I couldn’t help but chuckle at the thought that even my body, with all its quirks and creaks, is still more flexible than my hectic schedule.
Next, I attempted a few forward folds. They say that when you fold forward, you let go of all your worries, sort of like how I reluctantly let go of one more unfinished project before bed. And sure enough, as I slowly bent, it felt like the day’s accumulated stress was melting away. Each pose became a small act of rebellion against the constant demands of life, a mini victory of mindfulness over madness.
I ended my practice with a long Savasana, a final surrender to the moment. Lying there, I felt a mixture of gratitude, relief, and the stubborn satisfaction of having taken time for myself. My mind wandered over the day’s chaos, but then, with each slow exhale, I reminded myself that life isn’t solely about checking off tasks or completing projects. It’s about who we become along the way, especially when we dare to pause and reconnect with our inner selves.
So, here’s to the final bow of the day, to finding humor in the hustle, and to the beauty of ending your day with a little yoga magic. Have a wonderful night, and remember: the journey is as delightful as the destination.
I think i probably break my bones if i do this. I am too not flexible

I would be rushed to the emergency room if I try this 😂
You sound like every students that starts 😂 you can do it, it’s not that hard. You just need to go as far as your body let’s you
My body won't let me 😂
Ok 😂😂😂 I will take your word for it

Congratulations on taking time to reconnect with yourself through your yogic practice, excellent! Yoga, in its many iterations and dimensions, is one of the more integral practices that I love, and that I hardly have time to do with any regularity. It still calls me, though, and I very much want a consistent practice of it, and similar and related practices. They can be quite transformative indeed! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

This winter I didn’t get myself to do it (which means I really needed it of course). I’m trying to make it a part of my routine again. I hope you can as well ❤️ !INDEED !HOPE
I understand, and yep, what we put off, we often need. That's great! I wish you yogically-indomitable success in that endeavor! Thank you, I appreciate that, and me too! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Incredible! Our body was designed to be flexible both in soul, body and mind. You have done the greatest good to yourself, shedding off the hustles, reclaiming the lost vibes and better refocus. Nice yoga practice!
