I was shocked by the power I had drawn from mindful movement, and then by the feelings the simplicity of silence and stillness had evoked in me. Safety had led to grief. And yoga had led to some kind of deep physical and emotional thawing that felt more like the real me. Yoga would become a bridge back to wholeness, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I started to find space within my body, to rest and reside within it. And I started to understand that there was strength to be found in stillness and determination required on the journey toward flexibility.
