Yoga is out of fashion
and that’s a good thing.
I recently heard that yoga is out of fashion.
Apparently Pilates is having a moment.
A few years ago it was breathwork.
Next year, something else.
And I thought: Yes. Good.
Yoga should be out of fashion.
Because fashion comes and goes.
It follows trends, celebrities, aesthetics, timing.
It feeds on what’s new, what’s next, what’s different.
Yoga is none of that.
Or at least, it was never meant to be.
What goes in and out of fashion is not yoga itself,
but the version of it we made easy to consume.
The poses.
The images.
The identity.
The part that can be replaced.
But yoga as a philosophy,
a way of seeing and working with the mind, the body, this human life, doesn’t move like that.
It doesn’t chase relevance.
It doesn’t need reinvention.
It stays.
Quietly.
Steadily.
Meeting you differently,
depending on who you are
and where you are in your life.
Maybe a trend brought yoga to me.
Maybe timing.
Maybe something else entirely.
But it stayed.
And anything that stays,
that deepens instead of distracts,
that asks more of you instead of offering more to consume,
that is not fashion.
So yes,
yoga might be out of fashion.
And maybe that is exactly where it belongs.
