Returning to the Forest: My Octopus Teacher Yoga, and the Art of Noticing

I just watched My Octopus Teacher on Netflix, yes I'm a little late to the party as it came out in 2020 has won several awards and it's easy to see why. It's beautifully filmed, and deeply moving. You might need Kleenex. It follows a man who keeps returning to the same kelp forest, and the more he revisits, the more he discovers about life, patience, and connection. That same pattern shows up in my yoga practice: you notice the subtle shifts, the energy changes with each pose, and the way certain mantras and vayus shape your day after practice.
