There’s a point in midlife when you stop asking for permission.

You stop wondering what other people will think if you go to a yoga retreat, start working on inversions, or book that weekend completely for you.

It’s not rebellion. It’s recognition.

You finally realize that nobody else is going to carve out that time, create that balance, or chase that next goal for you.

And once that clicks, everything changes.

I see it in my yoga students all the time... the moment they stop worrying about whether they can and start deciding that they will. It might be as small as showing up for class after a long week, or as big as signing up for a retreat in another country.

That choice — to keep showing up for yourself — builds more than strength or flexibility. It builds presence. Confidence. Freedom.

Because here’s the truth: You don’t have to do yoga the way you did at 25 to feel powerful in your 40s and 50s. You just have to do it your way... the way that works for your body, your schedule, your life.

And that’s the beauty of practice.
It grows with you. It becomes you.

Whether you’re reworking old patterns or taking on new challenges, the yoga mat is where you get to do things your way — no explanations, no comparisons, no permission required.
