I almost stopped practicing this summer. Until I didn’t go alone.

I almost stopped practicing this summer. One missed class turned into two, then into a week. The days felt longer, dinners ran later, and suddenly yoga became something I’d “pick up again” in September. I told myself I’d return—after the holiday, after the heatwave, after things settled. But underneath those excuses, I was simply pushing it aside.

What changed everything was asking a friend to come with me. Not because she needed yoga, but because I needed a reason to show up. She had never taken a class before, and I promised it wouldn’t be strange. We booked together, placed our mats side by side, and laughed a little when it all felt unfamiliar. We didn’t talk much afterward. We didn’t need to. We just kept coming back.

Sharing the practice made it easier to reconnect. Moving next to someone created a sense of ease. I stopped overthinking. I felt supported. It reminded me: yoga isn’t always a solo path. Sometimes, the most meaningful way back into your own body is to open space for someone else beside you.

If your practice has slipped this summer, you’re not failing, you’re just human. And if there’s someone you’d love to share some time with—someone curious, someone open to something new—invite them to join you. Not to convince them, but simply to offer the experience.
