The issues are in the tissues.

"The issues are in the tissues" is a phrase often used in the context of therapy and personal growth. It suggests that our emotional and psychological issues are not just in our minds, but are also stored in our bodies and can manifest as physical symptoms. In order to truly heal and move forward, it's important to address both the mental and physical aspects of our issues. This phrase highlights the interconnectedness of our minds and bodies, and the need to approach healing holistically.

In yoga, teachers often cue and offering for "organic movement" or movement that doesn't need to look a certain way or maybe isn't a defined pose but rather doing what feels good in your body. You may feel silly or think that everyone is judging you but the truth is, in most yoga classes everyone is in their own head and too focused on doing their own thing to give a shit what you are doing.

Organic movement refers to a way of moving that is free, fluid, and natural, based on the body's instinctual movements and without any preconceived notions of what movement "should" look like. Here are some reasons why organic movement can be important:

  1. Improves overall physical health: Organic movement involves a wide range of movement patterns that can help improve flexibility, strength, and balance. By moving in different ways, we can prevent muscle imbalances and reduce the risk of injury.
  2. Reduces stress: Moving in a free and unrestricted manner can help reduce stress and tension in the body. It can also help release emotions that may be stored in the body.
  3. Enhances creativity: Organic movement can be a form of self-expression that allows for creative exploration and experimentation with movement. It can help individuals tap into their own unique movement styles and find new ways of moving.
  4. Builds body awareness: Organic movement requires a high level of body awareness, as individuals need to be attuned to their bodies and how they move. This can help individuals become more in tune with their physical selves and develop a better understanding of their bodies' capabilities and limitations.
  5. Supports mental health: Organic movement can be a form of mindfulness practice, as individuals focus on their bodies and the present moment. This can help reduce anxiety and improve overall mental health.
