quiet practices, that may even be stronger dynamic asana practices, invite stillness. and stillness can bring discomfort. whether that’s physical, emotional or both can change moment to moment; it can change every time we step on our mat. many of us live such fast, busy lives, that slowing down and finding presence, can be one of the biggest challenges we face; quiet can be something we run away from, it can stir things up we’ve not wanted to notice. finding comfort in discomfort, not only helps us grow, it helps us meet ourselves with no filter. that journey can be a long, and sometimes, bumpy road - but that’s ok - we’re here to hold space and do this together. the word yoga comes from the root word yuj, which means to yoke, to join or to unite, and in a spiritual sense, refers to the joining of the individual consciousness with the universal consciousness. many now interpret that yoga means to unite the mind, body and soul, and so on the surface, the practice is personal, and although we follow the same path, each person’s journey is ultimately unique. but one of the many incredible things about yoga is that, something so personal can unite so many people. even if we practice by ourselves, a sense of connection to a wider community - united by a shared love of yoga, is often bubbling away under the surface. the power of this connection is almost palpable in a group class, when your breath and movement is synchronised harmoniously with others around you. just like yoga, community is about connection and unity. merge them and their power is amplified, allowing us to feel safe and supported in our journey. in a world where virtual communication has become the norm, authentic connection is more vital than ever. our community is filled with likeminded, compassionate souls; you’ll meet new friends, make meaningful connections and find a real sense of belonging. join us at unfurling space, and we’ll unfurl together. ✨
