by guest author Kara-Leah Grant Life is busy. Most of us are juggling some combination of work, family, socialising, passions & hobbies and health & well-being. Sometimes, despite our best intentions, the things that we know make us feel the best – like regular yoga practice – can be the most difficult to maintain. This is especially true when we go through a life change, or a particularly stressful period. Right when we need it most, our yoga practice falls away. Our job changes, or we shift house, or we have a baby and that change of routine means we can’t make it to our regular yoga class anymore, or we don’t have the same time to do our home practice. Sometimes the change is physical or emotional – we injure ourselves, have major surgery, experience some type of mental illness, or experience a family crisis like the death of a loved one. It becomes physically, or emotionally impossible to continue on with the practice we love. Yet in these moments of change the biggest barrier to continuing our yoga practice is not the shift in our life’s circumstances but our mind’s inability to accept and roll with those changes.
