Finding Balance: On the Mat, Inside, and Between Us

If you are a yoga enthusiast or have ever simply appreciated seeing a yogi in an extreme-looking balance, this post is for you!

The stance looks impossible, and we say to ourselves, "Sure, if I spent my lifetime working on one thing I'd also get it"- but here's the deal: The yogic position is not the goal...balance is. And we don't 'get' to balance for however long we can keep the position; balance is the actual journey. And as we always say...it's all about the journey.

Balance doesn’t mean standing perfectly still in a life-defying position. It means wobbling, swaying, and finding your way back—over and over again.

A beautiful example of this is tree pose. You root down, you sway, you sometimes fall out—and then you try again. Inside, we also need balance. Different parts of us can pull us in different directions—one part wants to please, another wants to protect, another wants to hide. Balance comes when your deeper core steps forward and says: “I hear you, I’ve got this.”

And in relationships? RLT reminds us that balance means holding both truths: standing up for yourself without putting your partner down. Cherishing as much as you challenge. Repairing as much as you or your partner needs.

When we find our own footing, we can lean in without losing ourselves. That’s not codependence—that’s connection.

💬 Practice it today:

• One tree pose (yes, even if you wobble).

• One kind word to a part of yourself.

• One cherish or repair with your partner.

Balance starts in you—and it grows in the space between.
