Hi there,

Can I ask you to try something before you keep reading?

Stand up.

(Yes, really.)

Put your feet a little wider than hip distance.

Let your shoulders relax down and back.

Lift your chest just slightly.

Lengthen through the top of your head.

Take a breath.

Notice how you feel.

I call this the Superhero Pose.

Not because standing like a superhero magically fixes everything...

…but because sometimes our bodies can remind our brains who we are.

Strong.

Capable.

Ready.

The way we carry ourselves affects the way we move through the world.

Try it before:

• a stressful conversation
• a workout
• walking into a room where you feel nervous
• starting your day

You don't have to wait until you "feel confident" to stand like someone who is.

Sometimes the body leads, and the mind follows.

This is one of the reasons I love yoga.

It's not just about what happens on the mat.

It's about how you show up when you step off of it.

Keep standing tall, Reader.

Karen

P.S. If you're looking for more ways to build strength and confidence without kneeling, I'd love to have you inside No Knees Yoga. We meet live twice a week, and every class is designed to help you feel stronger in everyday life.
