Simone Nitzan Yoga

I am an ashtanga yoga practitioner and teacher who fell in love with yoga after many years of intense physical training and competitive sports.

A new beginning brings excitement, but it can also carry loss. To let something new in, we usually have to let something else go. And letting go is hard at any age.

What I keep finding is that the most powerful response to my own resistance is self-empathy. How human of me to struggle with this. How human of me to feel so many things at once.

The more empathy I offer myself for the harder feelings, the loss, the sadness, the pushing back against what’s real, the more I can actually work through them and, eventually, let go.

I just sent out in my newsletter a short meditation to help you sit with the discomfort transition can bring. If you want to get the next one sign up from the link in my bio.

This is one of the real gifts of yoga and meditation. They’re tools for uncovering those patterns and changing them. But we have to do the work.

That’s what’s held my attention lately in my own practice. Where am I holding onto old identities that no longer serve me? And how do I become the person I actually am, and want to be?

There’s no arriving at this. Just one step, one day, and the willingness to keep practicing.

Transitions are hard for all of us.

As much as I love the September energy and getting back to routine, I also struggle with the shortening days, the cooling temperatures, and the uptick in work. It’s not that I don’t love my work. I do. But I’ve found I need to offer myself extra empathy through these stretches. Getting the kids back to school and into their routines, and getting myself back to teaching and seeing clients, can feel like a lot.

As adults, it’s common to resist that challenge by talking ourselves past it. You’ll be fine. You can handle it. All of that is true. And it’s also okay to admit it’s hard, and to be kind to yourself in the middle of it.

The more empathy you can offer yourself for your own resistance, the more you’ll have to offer everyone else.

Today my freedom looks like dropping my kids off at school for their first day and walking home alone in peace and quiet!

43 turns around the sun. Birthdays can be funny. We can feel heavy. We can find ourselves reflecting on what we haven’t done, what hasn’t materialized yet, what we couldn’t make work. It’s tempting to sit in that place of lack, but the longer we stay there, the more of it we tend to find.

So much of it comes down to where we put our attention. What if you looked instead at what you do have, what’s working, what’s going well? That’s not about fixing the heaviness or pretending it isn’t there. It’s that when you’re ready, you can shift out of feeling like you’re somehow not enough and into simply being enough.

Early September brings my birthday, and because of when it falls, right as summer ends and school starts, it’s always been easy to let it slip by quietly.

This year I’m paying more attention. Getting older is a privilege, and I don’t want to take it for granted. At 43 I’m not exactly old, but I’m old enough to know that each year is a gift not everyone gets.

Here’s the best part. The older I get, the less I care about what other people think. I get to live my slightly unconventional life, doing work that feels meaningful and that I’m grateful to have created. I show up more and more as myself, without the mask I might have worn a few years ago.

That, more than anything, feels worth celebrating.

I’m so ready for the return of my regular routine. Back to teaching, back to seeing clients, the kids back to school.

But transitions ask a lot of us. Routines have to be rebuilt, and everyone has to find their place again.

Right now, though, I’m still here. Practicing on this deck in the sunshine with a good friend, savoring our last day at the cottage.

Practice is not meant to be perfect, neither is reality.

How we meet reality shapes our whole experience of it. Perspective doesn’t just color your life. It is your life.

You can meet what’s in front of you as a problem, a hardship, one more thing being done to you. Or you can meet it as it is, with acceptance, and, even love.

That doesn’t mean you stop working toward change when change is called for. It means you do that work from steadiness instead of struggle.

I don’t want to suffer my way through my life. I don’t want that for you either.

The conditions will never be perfect. There will always be an interruption, a mess, a plan that shifts. But you can still choose how you meet it. That choice is always available, and making it changes everything.

Here’s what’s actually happening inside a stiff, achy shoulder. It’s rarely one thing gone wrong. It’s usually a loop.

Your shoulder blades are the centre of upper body movement. When one stops gliding well – from years of sitting rounded forward over a desk, a phone, a steering wheel – the joint above it has to compensate, and the tissue gets irritated and tender. So you move it even less. And the less you move it, the more your body braces around it – flinching before you reach, avoiding the top shelf, sleeping on the other side.

So the loop feeds itself:

Pain → guarding → stiffness → weakness → smaller range → more pain.

Round and round.

That’s why you’re tugging at a symptom while the real cause sits upstream, at a shoulder blade that isn’t moving.

The good news? The loop runs the other way too. Restore the glide, rebuild a little strength, calm the system that’s been bracing – and the shoulder becomes something you trust again.

Want the 10-minute practice to start unwinding it? Comment SHOULDERS and I’ll send it over.

I’ve spent the last twenty-five days at the cottage. And almost every morning, I’ve woken up with a lower back that’s slightly sore, slightly stiff.

It would be easy to blame the mattress, or turning forty-three next week. But my lower back is where tension shows up when my stress is higher, or the demands on me shift.

I’m out of my routine here – more time with my kids, feeding people two or three meals a day. It’s not a complaint, just what’s been happening. My body is telling me I need something: more movement of the right kind, more rest.

This is why I still practice yoga after twenty years. It doesn’t just move your body. It steadies your mind when it’s racing, settles your nervous system when you’re braced against the day, and brings you back to yourself when you’ve drifted too far into caring for everyone else and not yourself.

This is the heart of the Complete Movement Method, my four-week course beginning September 24th. It’s not only about moving smarter – it’s about recognizing you as whole and complete as you already are, and giving you tools you can carry for life.

We meet live on Zoom, and every session is recorded, so you’ll have it for a full year – practice with us in real time, or in your own.

If that speaks to you, comment “whole” and I’ll send you the link to learn more and join.
