The Lesson of Obedience: A Tale from a Yoga Class

Dear friends, today I wish to share a story from my past, a tale that taught me the value of obedience. It’s a lesson I learned in a rather unexpected place – a yoga class. Now, you might be wondering, “Kev, what does yoga have to do with obedience?” Well, let me tell you.

The First Day of Yoga

Many moons ago, I decided to try my hand at yoga. I walked into my first class, a novice among seasoned practitioners. The instructor, a woman of grace and serenity, welcomed me warmly. I felt at ease, ready to embark on this new journey.

The Lesson Begins

As the class progressed, I found myself struggling to keep up. The poses were challenging, and my body was not as flexible as I had imagined. I was tempted to give up, to walk away. But then, the instructor said something that changed my perspective.

“Yoga is not about perfection. It’s about obedience. Obedience to your body, to its limits, and to the process of growth.”

Her words struck a chord within me. I realized that obedience was not about blind submission. It was about understanding, respect, and acceptance. It was about listening to my body, acknowledging its limitations, and patiently working towards improvement.

The Impact of Obedience

From that day forward, I approached yoga – and life – with a new mindset. I learned to obey the signals my body sent me, to respect its boundaries, and to patiently push those boundaries when the time was right. This obedience did not make me weak; it made me stronger.

And so, my friends, I share this story with you. May it inspire you to embrace obedience in your own lives. Remember, obedience is not about submission. It’s about understanding, respect, and growth. It’s about listening, acknowledging, and patiently working towards improvement.

Until next time, remember to be patient with yourself, to listen to your body, and to respect its boundaries. And most importantly, remember to obey the process of growth.

Yours in wisdom,

Kev
