Friendship with Yourself
Imagine there were no mirrors.
No comparing.
No “this is how I should look.”
You would simply be as you are.
Why do we believe we have to be different?
Better, slimmer, more capable.
Why do we so often feel like we are not enough?
Take a look at a flower.
None is perfect.
One leaf has holes.
The blossom is crooked.
The stem is bent.
And that is exactly why it is beautiful — and complete.
The perfect rose?
It stands in a shop window. Made of plastic.
What do we do?
We compare ourselves, want to be perfect.
We try to improve ourselves all the time. And make it worse.
We don’t notice that we are moving further and further away from ourselves.
Like someone standing in water, desperately trying to get dry.
Something different happens in Naked Yoga.
You can’t hide.
Not behind clothes.
Not behind roles.
Not behind thoughts.
You see yourself.
Maybe for the very first time.
And suddenly you realize:
There is nothing wrong.
There has never been anything wrong.
Your fear, your doubts, your “flaws” belong as well.
It is your imperfection that makes you perfect.
Yoga does not teach you to become perfect.
Yoga shows you that you never had to be.
True freedom does not begin when everything is right.
It begins the moment you stop fighting yourself.
Do you want a different life?
Then stop trying to improve yourself.
And start getting to know yourself.
Layer by layer.
Thought by thought.
Feeling by feeling.
Until only one thing remains:
You.
Real.
Imperfect.
Free.
If you want, I will guide you.
