Living with degenerative disc disease changed more than my yoga practice—it changed my understanding of courage. In this month's Peekaboo Faith, I reflect on a back injury, Plow Pose (Halasana), and the surprising fear that lay beneath the surface. Sometimes the deepest practice isn't mastering a posture—it's learning to practice differently.

A few months ago, I had a plan. Peekaboo Faith was going to become a weekly blog, until life had other ideas. This month, I'm reflecting on the difference between quitting and pivoting, and how setting boundaries sometimes means giving ourselves permission to adjust.

After meaningful experiences end, many of us expect to feel only gratitude, joy, and fulfillment. Yet sometimes what arrives instead is an unexpected heaviness. In this reflection, I explore the quiet sense of loss that can follow beautiful seasons and the realization that grief does not only belong to people. We can also grieve experiences, routines, moments, and chapters of life that mattered deeply to us.
