Wherever You Go, Yoga Can Come Too

Summer has a way of turning our routines inside out. The sun lingers, plans change on a whim, and suddenly we find ourselves practicing yoga in borrowed beds, airport lounges, or lakeside cottages. In those moments of transition, it’s easy to drift away from our yoga practice.

Not out of laziness, but logistics. Props are packed away. Schedules become spontaneous. Space is limited. I get it — I’ve been there.

In moments like these, I turn to Patanjali’s teachings of sthira and sukham. Iyengar Yoga shows us how to stand firm—finding strength and steadiness (sthira)—while also embracing comfort, adaptability, and ease (sukham). So, as summer spontaneity begins to entice, how can we soften rigidity while remaining committed to our practice?
