Yoga is not an attempt to twist into a knot, but a way to finally hear what my body wants. Every morning, I give myself 10 minutes of silence: a mat, deep breathing, and no notifications. It's better than any coffee. Sometimes, in the lotus position, I realize that all I need to do is exhale and let go of control. Other times, the plank or warrior pose shows me that I'm stronger than I thought when I didn't want to get up in the morning. Yoga teaches me not to compare myself to others. Yesterday, I couldn't reach the floor, but today I'm a little closer, and that's a victory.
