I recently spent a cosy evening curled up by the fire watching one of my favourite childhood films, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. As I watched, I couldn’t help but think about how exploring yoga for the first time is much like Lucy stepping into the wardrobe and discovering Narnia.
Here are seven reasons why…
Yoga and Narnia both offer the opportunity for a new beginning…
Just as Lucy’s journey into Narnia marks the start of an extraordinary adventure, stepping onto the yoga mat for the first time opens the door to a transformative experience, inviting us to explore uncharted territory within ourselves.
Yoga and Narnia both provide a sense of wonder…
Narnia is filled with magical landscapes, creatures, and experiences that ignite a sense of awe. Similarly, yoga unveils a world of ancient philosophy, mindful movement, breath awareness, and self-discovery—sparking curiosity and excitement about what we might uncover within our body, mind, and spirit.
Narnia and yoga offer opportunities for transformation.
In Narnia, Lucy and her friends experience profound personal growth and change. Likewise, yoga provides a path for transformation, helping us build strength, flexibility, and emotional resilience while uncovering deeper layers of self-awareness and understanding.
Narnia and yoga allow us to escape the ordinary…
Just as stepping into the wardrobe allows Lucy to escape the mundane world, stepping onto the yoga mat offers a refuge from everyday stresses, creating a space to disconnect from external pressures and reconnect with ourselves.
Yoga, like Narnia connects us to a larger community…
Narnia introduces Lucy to a community of characters, each with their own stories and wisdom. Similarly, yoga classes foster a supportive community, where we share experiences and journeys with others on similar paths of growth and healing.
Both evoke a journey of discovery…
Whether exploring the magical world of Narnia or the inner workings of our bodies and minds through yoga, both offer new insights, challenges, and joys.
Narnia and yoga invite us to embrace the unknown…
Entering Narnia takes courage and a willingness to venture into the unknown. Similarly, attending a yoga class for the first time can feel daunting as we step outside our comfort zones
I’d love to welcome you to a yoga course, or perhaps you’d like to try a drop-in class if this has sparked your curiosity to give yoga a go!
