What brings me back to my mat? with Daphne Luttger

I started my inner journey in 2008 - after travelling the globe and exploring the outer world, I felt strongly that I needed a tool to help me take a step inside.

I found that with yoga - my first yoga class felt like coming home. What I did not know at that time was that coming home was coming home to myself.

Finding balance on the mat

As we all know and experience, life is a big challenge. For me, finding balance every day requires some form of discipline. I find this in my practice - practising and teaching Ashtanga and Yin Yoga.

Moving and breathing on the mat gives me the opportunity to turn inward and observe my feelings and emotions. There, I shine a light on my subconscious mind. Watching the story in my head from a distance and experiencing a connection to something greater and ‘bigger’ when I’m fully present. That bigger thing is beyond words or an idea and at the same time I feel that I am not separated from “that”. So, I am “that”.

Coming to my mat is coming home

I come home to that which I call myself. The love, compassion, and gratitude you can only experience when being awake in the moment - that is what brings me to my mat each time.

We are whole in essence. We are love. And love will overcome.
