Day 4: EMBRACING DISCIPLINE

✨ DAY 4: EMBRACING DISCIPLINE ✨

Today's Teaching:

Tapas Svadhyaya Isvarapranidhanani Kriya Yogah
"Discipline, self-study, and surrender are the keys to practice"
— Patanjali's Yoga Sutra 2.1

Discipline (tapas) is the spark that fuels transformation. Paired with self-study (svadhyaya) and surrender (isvarapranidhana), it becomes a powerful path to growth and fulfillment. This sutra reminds us that consistent, intentional effort creates the space for meaningful change—both on and off the mat.

🧘‍♀️ On the Mat:

Join Lauren for a dynamic core-strengthening flow designed to build resilience, focus, and strength. You'll also get the opportunity to explore a challenging pose (pincha) with courage and curiosity. Through this practice, you’ll:

  • Cultivate physical and mental endurance

  • Strengthen your core as a foundation for growth

  • Embrace the process of trying, falling, and learning

  • Build confidence to face challenges with grace

Taking It Beyond the Mat:

Discipline doesn’t mean rigidity—it’s about consistent, small steps toward a meaningful goal. Practice this balance in life:

  • In Habits: Develop daily rituals that align with your intentions

  • In Work: Break big tasks into manageable steps

  • In Wellness: Commit to self-care routines that nourish your body and soul

  • In Challenges: Approach obstacles with patience and perseverance

  • In Growth: Embrace learning as a lifelong journey

Today's Journal Prompts:

Take a moment to reflect on:

  • What small, consistent steps can I take to reach my goals?

  • Where in my life can I commit to more discipline?

  • How can I balance effort with self-compassion?

  • What fears or resistance arise when I think of discipline?

  • How can I reframe discipline as a source of freedom rather than restriction?

Your Daily Integration Practice:

Throughout your day, notice:

  • Where you can replace resistance with dedication

  • Opportunities to take small, meaningful steps toward your goals

  • Moments to embrace challenges as a path to growth

  • How effort transforms into ease over time

Words of Wisdom:

"Discipline isn’t about perfection—it’s about showing up. Like a steady flame, your consistent effort lights the way for transformation."

Remember: Discipline is a practice, not a destination. Each day is a new chance to commit to your growth, embrace challenges, and step closer to your highest self.
