"In modern society, it's considered *super* normal to strive for things outside of yourself. Call it hustle culture or rise-and-grind-either way, you're told to constantly reach for a promotion, a new car, or a fancy espresso machine (to fuel all your ambitions, ofc). This isn't a bad thing. Setting goals and challenging yourself can teach you discipline and dedication-not to mention it feels really good when you achieve them."
"Taking a break from the outside world and finding solace in your inner one is exactly what yoga instructor Shaunneka Hewitt encourages people to do in the practices on her YouTube channel, Move With Shaunneka. Whether through slow flows or yin practices, Hewitt tends to focus on close-to-the-mat movements that satisfy the physical body and, in turn, help you tap into the resources you already have within you-calm, clarity, and energy."
Modern culture often promotes striving for external achievements and material goals. Yoga offers a complementary discipline that emphasizes turning inward, tuning out distractions, and listening to inner guidance. Slow flows and yin practices use close-to-the-mat movements to address the physical body while unlocking internal resources like calm, clarity, and energy. A 20-minute gentle seated practice serves as a cool-down or an accessible reentry to yoga, inviting slow movement, deep breathing, and separation from the constant grind. Simple steps include neck rolls, shoulder rolls, and seated shoulder stretches that prioritize breath and mindful alignment.
