Growing up, we all long for independence from the rules and regulations our parents set for us. However, as we get older, we realize that there’s more to independence than just freedom from parental guidance. Independence can also mean being free from limiting beliefs and social constraints. Some of us, at times, might also feel trapped in our bodies. How can yoga help us discover true independence from the limits we put on ourselves physically and mentally?


Yoga, in its essence, is a practice that helps us connect our physical and mental energies. Yoga uses the physical postures and breathwork to go within. A chain reaction occurs when we lose ourselves in movement and breath. The mental distractions cease. It clears the distortions of the mind. The result is clarity. This clarity leads to freedom from the limits we place on ourselves.

Mental Independence

One of the most significant aspects of yoga is learning to live in the moment. It teaches us to be mindful of our thoughts and present actions instead of worrying about the future or dwelling on the past. Practicing mindfulness regularly teaches us to let go of anxiety and negative thoughts, leading to greater mental clarity and focus.

Another essential principle of yoga is self-awareness. Understanding ourselves and our true potential leads to discovering our independence. Yoga helps us become more aware of our emotions, triggers, and mental blocks. Once we understand why we react the way we do, we can start to heal and grow past our limiting beliefs.

Through the consistent practice of yoga, we also achieve physical independence. Poses that once seemed impossible become effortless. Overcoming physical challenges in yoga fosters a sense of accomplishment, enabling a can-do attitude in other areas of our life.

Yoga’s non-competitive atmosphere nurtures an environment of self-discovery and non-judgment. It allows us to stop comparing ourselves to others and, as a result, helps us develop a positive perspective of ourselves. Understanding and accepting our unique qualities and attributes fosters independence in our personalities and thoughts.

Discovering independence through yoga requires a regular practice of mindfulness, self-awareness, and self-love. It helps us overcome the negative thought patterns and limiting beliefs that make us feel trapped. The practice of yoga instills a sense of self-assurance and self-reliance that radiates our energy. Making yoga a part of our everyday routine will help us embrace the freedom to think, feel, and be who we truly are.

Yin and Sound Bath with Mallory July 14th

Join Mallory for an invigorating Sound Bath with the therapeutic crystal bowls. We will do a 20-minute yin yoga session releasing the muscular body & brief guided meditation, allowing us to settle into our comfortable spots, sinking deep into a state of relaxation. Sound therapy is based on the idea that every part of your body creates a vibration that resonates in a certain way. Sound healing works by sending sound waves throughout the body, helping restore balance at a cellular level. The benefits include deep relaxation, better sleep, increased brain wave frequency, and decreased stress and anxiety.
