OCTOBER | CHANGE

OCTOBER | CHANGE
Change can be uncomfortable. Even when we know something new is good for us, stepping away from what feels familiar can bring fear, uncertainty, and even a little resistance. But nature reminds us that change is not something to fear—it is part of how we grow.
Look at the trees in autumn, as the days become shorter and temperatures drop, they begin to break down the green chlorophyll in their leaves. The colors we see in the fall have been there all along, simply hidden beneath the green. Eventually, the tree lets go of its leaves, conserving energy and preparing for the stillness of winter. Letting go isn't a sign that the tree is failing. It is how the tree prepares for what comes next.
Or consider the butterfly. Before it can emerge with wings, it has to completely transform inside the chrysalis. The process is unfamiliar, uncomfortable, and necessary. It cannot become what it is meant to be without changing first. Maybe we can give ourselves that same permission.
Practice Change on Your Mat
Yoga gives us a safe place to practice being uncomfortable with the unfamiliar. Try the pose you've been avoiding. Take a different class. Move your mat to a different spot in the room. Try a new teacher or style. Notice what happens when your body or mind says, “I don't know if I can do this.” Instead of immediately pulling away, breathe. You don't have to master something new. You simply have to be willing to experience it. Off of the mat, maybe it's having a difficult conversation you've been avoiding. Creating a new routine. Letting go of something that no longer serves you. Saying yes to an opportunity that feels a little scary. Or simply allowing yourself to become someone you haven't been before.
Growth requires movement. Movement requires change.
This autumn, as the trees begin to let go, consider what you might be ready to release—and what you might be ready to grow into. You don't have to know exactly where you're going. Just take the next breath, the next step, the next pose. Change is part of the practice.
We’ll see you on the mat.
