Radical Responsibility

I’ve been in San Francisco this week, practicing and studying restorative yoga with my teacher, Judith Hanson Lasater. It’s been a true gift, guiding me toward deeper presence, gratitude, and connection.

Restorative yoga teaches us how to take responsibility for our inner world, rather than trying to “fix” the outer one. So often, our suffering doesn’t come from what’s happening, but from the stories we tell ourselves about what’s happening. This practice helps us see clearly how privileged and precious our lives are, to wake up, stop taking our existence for granted, and live fully.

We don’t practice yoga to get better at handstands; we practice to become better humans.
