We’re taught to build practices as if our days are predictable, our energy is steady, and our motivation shows up in a blink of an eye. That version of life might exist for a week or two, but it rarely lasts. When your practice is built for some kind of fantasy schedule, it starts to feel like another thing you’re failing at. Obviously I'm speaking from my own experience.

A home practice works when it fits the season you’re actually in.
Not the season where you wake up rested, inspired, and uninterrupted.
The one where work is heavy, everything around you is loud, your body feels different week to week, day to day, and sometimes just getting on the floor is the big win.

This is why starting small matters.
Smaller than you think. Way smaller. Mini mini.

Five minutes counts.
One song counts.
Lying on the floor and breathing counts.

Those moments are not placeholders until you “do it properly.” They are the practice. They teach your body that movement is something you’re allowed to enter without pressure, performance, or proving anything.

A home practice begins to work when:

• It offers options

• It can adapt

• You don't feel guilty as hell

• It feels supportive rather than something to be seen or tracked even

You don’t need to move every day to have a practice.
You can have a practice that welcomes you back after the days you don’t.
