If You Are Stuck, Move

All life is full of movement. To feel that we are on hold, stuck in one place seems to go against nature, but it is something we all go through from time to time.

Sometimes in our yoga practice we feel stiff and stuck within a pose. Similarly, in life we can feel stagnant and restless. In both cases, often we become unsure of ourselves. How can we change this situation? How can we be released back to the flow of ever-changing life?

We can free ourselves by making a move, thus reconnecting to the rhythm of the body and of the universe. In our yoga practice, the smallest change made in the body can suddenly free up so much space and movement. In life, the same thing can happen. Making just one step in a new direction can bring forth events that can be life-changing.

When we feel trapped in a pose or stuck in a situation, move. Whether it be a small step or a huge leap, do something, and watch the flow of life and movement return. We are only as stuck as we believe ourselves to be.
