If you’re going to take bold steps from your rooted spot, the world around you will react to your shift.⁠

To you, in your immediate surroundings, it might look like disrupting the serene. But from afar, the ripples you cast paint a far more dynamic world around you.⁠

Keep moving forward, gently, but keep moving.⁠

When you’re sick – rest.
When you’re tired – do yoga.
When you’re sick and tired do resting yoga (aka meditation).⠀

Those were my thoughts when I chose to paint this eli today on international yoga day/ winter solstice day. Maybe because:

Yoga + Ganesh + Nature = The true remover of all obstacles. I dunno. Sometimes my brain just wants to bend in weird ways. And I let it.⠀

Namastay, lovely humans! ⠀

.📸@deniscebulec thanks for the awesome inspiration!
