Freedom, agency

These days when I speak with friends and family, I’m detecting in them a sense of loss of freedom of one sort or another. I wonder if you feel the same? I could give you the classic ‘spiritual’ teaching on this, which goes something like:
‘Freedom is within’ (which is true but not exactly what I feel might support you now).
or
I could give you the infinitely more practical (which, my friends, is inseparable from spiritual) teaching:

BRUSH YOUR TEETH, DO YOUR YOGA

As my great friend David Dodd says,
‘Yoga works to ground us in something solid and unchanging - in the essence of who we are. And offers us the chance to regain some deep sense of agency amid all that is going on. Good at any time and certainly good now.’ 

So whilst we might experience some freedom lost, let coming to class feed your own deep sense of agency, even if it’s for a brief moment be reminded.
