As we roll through September at Empower Yoga, we’ve been diving deep into the theme of change and transformation—two things we all experience, whether we like it or not! While change can be intimidating, we’ve been exploring how it’s the only true constant in life. Fighting against it only drains our energy, so why not take the plunge and embrace it instead? After all, with every shift, there’s an opportunity to grow.
The truth is, real change doesn’t happen when we’re cozy in our comfort zones. If we never stretched beyond the familiar, where would we be? Take nature, for example: seeds have to be buried in the dirt before they can fight their way through to the surface and bloom. Butterflies? They must struggle through their chrysalis to take flight. Birds? They have to break through their eggs to see the world.
Growth requires discomfort, effort, and sometimes the unknown, but it also brings excitement and the promise that we’re headed exactly where we need to be.
Think about it—before the most profound transformations, there’s often chaos. Ever notice how things sometimes seem to get messier before they fall into place? It's like cleaning out your closet; everything gets thrown around before you reorganize and create a fresh space. Life is kind of the same. Chaos often clears the path for something bigger, something better. And while we can’t always control what happens around us, we do get to choose how we respond, how we grow, and how we move forward. Life may deal us cards, but we decide how to play them.
Don’t forget to book your classes for the week! And most importantly—don’t cancel on yourself. You deserve at least an hour of self-care. You deserve to prioritize your growth, even when it’s uncomfortable. Growth isn’t always easy, but it’s always worth it.
Let’s embrace this new season together. We’ll see you on the mat!
You have always been
And will always be
Enough.
