This week we chat about stretching; literally and figuratively. As yogis and yoga instructors, we recognize and honor the body when it communicates pain or discomfort. And noticing the difference between pain and discomfort is key. Sometimes (somedays) a posture may cause stretching sensation but no harm is being done. We suggest it is the same in a spiritual sense. Sometimes (somedays, some seasons) we are stretched in our spirit and a natural response may be to shy away, resist, or back off. But choosing to lean into the stretch can manifest growth, transformation, healing, and renewal in ways that can only come from staying in the discomfort.
