I practise Ashtanga yoga, a set sequence of postures once believed to be ancient, but actually shaped by modern influences. At first, I thought the magic was in the system itself — the sequence, the poses. But the real magic lies in the commitment to your own practice: showing up, breathing through the hard moments, and slowly transforming over time. Yoga helps you come home to yourself — and that, to me, is true magic.
