Rose reflects on her yoga journey, describing practice as bearing, listening and equal awareness rather than fixed forms, and invites listeners to notice what feels special today.
Rose: This week has been one of those kind of flying by fast, but also feeling like it's taken forever. Rose: What does kind of fill my cup is being able to be in a space where you can go and spend some time bearing myself, watching, listening to myself. That's what kind of brings me to the yoga space.
The author invites you to find the specialness and the things that you find specialness in. Special things often, most often change within their specialness. No matter what, today, find your special talk to you.
Good morning, Cadre. How are we doing? How are we doing? How are we doing? I hope things are great. This week has been one of those kind of flying by fast, but also feeling. Feeling like it's taken forever. Amazing. Every single human being, no matter the day, no matter the time, you can go ahead and feel like time is moving at different paces. Hey, Marisa. Hey, Anila. Nice to see y'. All. No matter what, you can ask a million humans, how's the day going? How are things feeling? And you're always gonna have people who go, ah, you know, I don't know if I'm talking about.
I don't know if I'm commentating on life in the right way. Hey, Emily, Nice to see you. And with that being said, what a beautiful opportunity you have to jump in here into the Cadre sphere and to go ahead and experience a space where the not knowing is the thing that kind of brings us together, or the different ways of knowing are the things that bring us together. So I'm glad that I'm here. Ball game. I'm glad you're here. I know what I know, Rose, and I care about you. You know, I have been a yoga teacher for a good chunk of time now.
Like 12, 12, 13 years or so. I don't say that out loud very often because when people hear that someone is this or that, all of a sudden we go, okay, so they must be X or they must be Y. They must believe this or they must believe that. And I'll tell you, yoga entered my. So yoga, Sanskrit translation to English. Kind of like to. To. To bear or to. Or to yoke. To. To carry oneself. One of my favorite postures, Samashti tihi. Equal standing pose. Equal presence, equal awareness on all sides of all things pose.
Hear that again. Equal standing pose or equal awareness on all sides of all of. Of all things pose. That's. That's what kind of brings me to the yoga space. Not a here's the right way to do it, or here's a full expression. Here's the way your body must operate. Or if you keep doing this, one day your body will be able to. All that stuff for me, throw it out the window, throw it in the garbage can. Does not serve me. Does not interest me. What does kind of fill my cup is being able to be in a space where you can go, huh?
I'm going to spend some time bearing myself, watching, listening to myself. I think there's always benefit to that. You know, I started going to a yoga studio after I Broke my back. It was part of my way to go. Huh. So what am I bearing? What am I carrying? How do I operate in a very short amount of time? At the studio, I found other people doing the same thing. In four days. I was like, okay, yep, this is the thing. Signed up for teacher training, did the thing, started, started working, started traveling, opened up tons of studios around the United States, did the thing.
And all of a sudden I had to back away for a bit. I had to back away because I stopped bearing myself in the studio. I stopped finding myself, which is the second thing I wanted to raise today. A. First of all, I invite you to find the specialness and the things that you find specialness in. Not because someone else says, here's why it's special, but because you start to see something that's very unique to you. But number two, special things quite often, most often change within their specialness.
I don't teach, quote quote yoga. I haven't taught quote, quote yoga and probably a good handful of years. I use yoga as, as a tool within a lot of other things that I teach and hold space for because that's, that's where the specialness is for me now, the fact that we can be really aware of oneself in any space. So now that's. That's where things fit within my specialness, within this yoga thing. So, A, today, can things be special to you in the way that they're special to you? And B, maybe there's going to be the time when all of a sudden that specialness changes or leaves for periods of time and you go, here's where I am.
Here's where I go. No matter where you are, no matter what's going on today, you are that specialness for someone in the way that you are special to them. And that specialness may change and then all of a sudden it may come back again. So no matter what, today, find your special talk to you.
