“Will you, err, be taking any mats with you?” my friend Mel asked as we discussed our forthcoming holiday in France. “Would you like me to?” I asked. “Ooh yes please!” she replied. And I couldn’t be happier that she did. Since I started teaching yoga, work has come in much faster than I had expected. This has been amazing, but my own practice has found itself on the back burner. I know a lot of teachers have experienced this but even so I was surprised. Practising alone felt just that. Lonely. So the opportunity to practise regularly with Mel in France was exactly what I needed. We hadn’t practised together since a yoga holiday in Sardinia but I know there won’t be such a long gap next time. I feel so much more in tune with my own practice and how important it is for my wellbeing. Oh and the idyllic setting obviously wasn’t bad either!
I enjoyed the reflections on partnership and shared experiences in yoga. It reminded me that personal growth often happens through connections with other people rather than entirely on our own. During a demanding academic period, I used assignment editing help to improve my written work while still making time for activities that helped me stay balanced. The post highlights the value of support and companionship in any journey.
