Notes from the Studio
Thoughtful conversations about yoga, practice and living well.
Welcome to Notes from the Studio. These are the conversations that don't always fit neatly into a yoga class.
Ideas we've been thinking about. Questions that have stayed with us. Things we've noticed through teaching, travelling, running a studio, hosting retreats and simply trying to live well Sometimes they begin on the mat. Sometimes they begin over coffee after class. Sometimes they begin somewhere much further away!
We don't want to make more content for the sake of making more content. There is already plenty of that. We'd rather share things that feel genuinely worth your attention.
Some Notes will be about yoga.
Others will be about practice in a broader sense: how we pay attention, how we create space, how we navigate change, how we build community, and how we try to remain curious as life keeps changing around us. They are written by us, Chris and Debbie, the founders of Yoga x Life, and are part of a much longer conversation about what yoga can mean beyond the time we spend on a mat.
We hope you enjoy reading them. And perhaps, every now and then, one gives you something to think about long after you've closed the page.
Issue One: Making Space
For years, we thought that if we worked hard enough, life would eventually become more spacious. But perhaps space isn't something we find. Perhaps it's something we create. A reflection on yoga, resilience, attention and learning to make space in the life we already have.
