Where do you seek fulfillment? Too many yogis identify their worthiness with the shapes their bodies can or can't make or with the aesthetic of their bodies. I know I did and probably still do on more days that I like. It's easy to love the person you see in the mirror when you meet our cultural expectations of beauty (read: young, skinny, flexible). But get this: you matter, you are important and you are worthy of love and respect. This is true regardless of what size or shape you are and certainly true regardless of what poses you can or cannot do. No asana defines you. You are NOT defined by whether someone else finds you attractive. You are defined by who you are, by the brilliant spark of light and love that is your truth. You only need to be attractive to yourself, to find wholeness in your own image, to love the person that you see reflected back at you through your own eyes. I grew up dreaming to be taller, wishing I could change my shape and lengthen out my bulky thigh muscles, pretending I had less of a flat face and looked more like everyone else, and yearning for a name anyone could pronounce easily. When I started yoga I felt myself rising and falling based on the success of my practice, like I had to earn my worth with my sweat equity, and I was only allowed access to some secret yogi in-crowd if I could press up into handstand. But the physical is temporary. Nothing lasts forever. Some days I press up beautifully into handstand, some days I can barely do a plank. The poses were never meant as the gold standard of yoga. Yoga is a search for meaning, it is a spiritual journey that teaches you who you really are. Yoga was never meant to be a temple of body worship. Yoga is a sacred practice of prayer, a path of spiritual fulfillment that comes when you root your sense of self-worth in the spark of the spirit within you. Judge yourself not by your outward appearance but look within at what's in your heart. You shine. You're beautiful. You're worth it all. And it doesn't matter whether you ever fit into a size 0 or press up into a handstand. It matters whether you finally learn to love yourself like the whole, complete, perfect being that you are. ?
