Dear God / Universe / Higher Power - Why? Why me? Why does my body feel like it’s betraying me? I’m pissed. I’m angry. I don’t understand why this is a part of my story.

Looking back, my first experience with yoga reflected what’s common in many Western yoga spaces - a focus on the physical practice, fast-paced flows, and the “burn.” What I didn’t realize yet was how deeply spiritual, emotional, and introspective it could be.
