The Knots that bind

On letting go, living beyond limits, and the choice to be unbound.

This talk came from a workshop that is very close to my heart.

When we think about being bound, it is not just about ropes or restraints. It is about the invisible threads that hold us back. The habits, emotions, and stories we repeat until they start to shape who we are.

I have been reflecting a lot on what it really means to let go. Not just of what we think binds us, like the glass of wine, the morning coffee, or the small routines, but the deeper roots beneath them.

Recently, I was officially registered blind. I knew this moment would come, but still, it is a lot to take in. For a brief moment, I thought, maybe I will not be able to teach anymore. Then I remembered what the Bhagavad Gita says, that yoga is equanimity of the mind, and that we have a choice, not to give up, but to keep moving forward.

So this is where I am now, practising what I teach, breathing into the fear, remembering that I am more than my eyes, my body, or my mind.

You have a choice too.

To hold on, or to let go.

To be bound, or unbound.

Thank you for walking this path with me. 🙏
