How to Find Your Yogic Self Through Practice – Not The Skinny Place

Have you found your yogic self yet? Yoga isn't just another fitness bandwagon, it's an age old spiritual practice that challenges you, shows you your ego and changes your body energy. Anything else is just pretty pants. You won't find your yogic self by looking in the skinny place.

Meet Your Yogic Self On Inspirational Ground

Find your yogic self.

Flicking through a yoga magazine today, I saw plenty of toned bodies. There was an article entitled “Cheat, Drink and Still Shrink!” There were beautiful yoga outfits, women sipping coffee in their stylish activewear, and page after page of picture-perfect poses.

Namaste right here, girl. Ack. That’s what I call Skinny Yoga. Aspire. Be thinner. Be fashionable. Stretch and shrink. Buy the designer mat. Keep up with the latest yoga trends. Take your vitamins. Run, run with the fitness movement.

But what about your yogic self?

There is absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying beautiful yoga clothes or taking care of your health if those things motivate you to step onto your mat; wonderful.

But yoga can be so much more.

Over the years, yoga has become mainstream around the world. Doctors now recommend regular yoga practice because it can help lower blood pressure, improve flexibility, reduce stress, and support overall wellbeing.

Those are wonderful benefits.

Keep Searching For Your Yogic Self

With all the distractions surrounding modern yoga, I encourage you not to lose sight of the deeper journey.

To me, the yogic self is the energetic part of us that awakens through practice. It is the quiet inner presence that connects, resonates, and grows every time we step onto the mat.

It’s the part that gently calls us back after weeks, months, or even years away from yoga.

The yogic self reminds us that yoga isn’t something we do; it’s someone we become when we learn to reconnect with our energy.

The yogic self is the part of us that guides us toward dreams, visions, creativity, and deeper inner awareness during and after yoga.

Read, Explore, and Listen to Your Yogic Self

Buy the outfit if it makes you feel good. I know that when I enjoy what I’m wearing, I often practice with more confidence. Read yoga magazines. Learn a new pose. Stay curious.

Find inspiring books on yoga. Explore different traditions. Try Kundalini Yoga if it calls to you. It has a remarkable way of introducing you to parts of yourself you may not have known existed. Sometimes gently. Sometimes… not so gently.

Because yoga isn’t simply about stretching muscles; it’s about energy and flow.

It’s about connecting with your energy centers, your chakras, your breath, your awareness, and ultimately your yogic self—that timeless part of you that quietly exists beneath all the noise of everyday life.

Inspiration Doesn’t Have a Dress Size

Have you ever met the 88-year-old woman in class who can hold a plank longer than everyone else? I’ve been inspired by watching the yoga teacher – who reminds you of your mum – effortlessly balance on one hand?

I remember in one of my yoga classes, us older ladies quietly smiling as two bodybuilders quietly begged for mercy after their first yoga class. Those are the moments that inspire me.

They remind me that yoga has never been about appearance. True yoga practice is about getting really honest with yourself and persevering with the practice. It’s about discovering who you are beneath the expectations, comparisons, and endless striving.

That’s where your yogic self begins to emerge.

The rest?

It’s all just pretty pants.

One way to grow your psychic ability is to begin to work with your Akashic Records. This expands the connection to your Soul through your Higher Self (also known as your intuition).

You’ll find that your intuition expands with Akashic Records work, and questions you have on the spiritual journey will be answered. It really helps you to connect the dots.

If you are interested in an Akashic Records Reading, I always recommend starting with the Soul Star Reading.

This reading gives you 3 different immersive experiences of the Akashic Records: –

  1. Connecting with your Divine Soul Blueprint (Soul-level gifts, talents, abilities).
  2. Hearing about a Past Life that contains a karmic pattern ready for clearing (you’ll recognize this pattern in your present life).
  3. Recognizing and clearing present life blocks and restrictions.

  • I started this blog in 2010 to remember my British mum Margaret, who was highly intuitive, but hid it almost forever - until she told me later in her life. She also told me not to hide what I know, and to write about it! So, here it is.

    I'm also a mom, writer, budding artist, and lover of fantasy novels - and third in a female line of intuitives. Over time, this blog has grown to reflect my spiritual journey, and the readings, coachings, teachings and sessions that I offer.

    In my previous careers, I have worked in UK Broadcast Media (BBC, Sky, Channel 4, ITV). I trained people on computers in a UK Water Authority, then ran a freelance training business, followed by a partner business where we incorporated NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and Accelerated learning into technical business trainings.

    During this time I co-created a successful long-running course incorporating Accelerated Learning techniques (1998-2021) and taught business trainers course design techniques, too.

    I hope you enjoy my writing, and maybe you'll consider booking a reading or requesting a chart if you are intrigued by what is offered here.

    Lots of light, and thanks for visiting!
