Stop Forcing the Pose. Your Body Is Not a Performance.
Somewhere along the way, yoga became a performance about deeper stretches and stronger shapes. But it’s not a sport and yoga isn’t asking you to optimize your body for peak performance every day. Your body is meant to be listened to and attended to. Sure, it’s meant to be challenged but there’s no one to compete with in yoga. No room for ego or vanity.
Your Body Is Communicating. Are You Listening?
Pain, resistance, shaking and restlessness aren’t problems that you should focus on fixing. All of these are messages. Your body speaks in sensations and when you don’t listen to it, in the name of “discipline” or “growth,” it learns that its signals don’t matter. This is what I believe disembodiment to be.
Trauma Lives in the Body, Not the Mind
You can understand your story intellectually and still feel disconnected physically because trauma isn’t stored just as memory in the mind. It’s stored as tension, holding and guarding. Trauma-informed movement prioritizes choice, sensation and consent. It’s not about achievement, aesthetic or comparison.
Embodiment Is Coming Home
When movement becomes a conversation instead of a command, something shifts. Your breath deepens, your nervous system softens and your body begins to trust you. This is yoga. Less about the shape and more about the relationship. Learning to move in a way that your body can trust. At Meeyogi, movement is intentional and rooted in safety. No forcing or fixing. No pressure to perform. Your body already knows the way. Trust the path.
