Even the Wobbly Steps Count

When we think of growth, it’s usually the big, visible milestones that come to mind — the seed cracking open into green, the tree reaching toward the sky, the long-labored project finally complete, or the long-awaited promotion finally in hand.

But there’s another kind of growth. One that’s quieter. Slower. More uncertain.
The kind that doesn’t look like progress from the outside.

Writer Alice Walker once described this beautifully:

“We may feel hostile or angry or weepy and hysterical, or we may feel depressed.
It would never occur to us, unless we stumbled on a book or person who explained it to us, that we were in fact in the process of change, of actually becoming larger, spiritually, than we were before.”

If that’s where you are — if your growth feels unclear, messy, or not like growth at all — I want you to know:
I see you. I’ve been there too.

And those confusing, in-between spaces? They’re often where the most important shifts take root.

In those times, meditative yoga can be more than a movement practice. It can become a place of steadying.

Here’s how it can help:

• You can soften your body and soothe your nervous system, so you can rest deeply and try again tomorrow.

• You can reconnect with the quiet wisdom inside you — the part that knows even today’s wobbly step matters.

• You can feel the presence of a supportive community around you and remember that you’re not alone. Others are out here, too — doing their best to grow with care and courage in a world that can feel harsh and impossible.

And if you ever need a kind word, just ask. Truly.

You can book a free 15-minute chat with me. I’ll listen, reflect, and offer back a glimpse of the wisdom, strength, and goodness I see in you.

Or better yet, come to class. That’s where we gather and remember—through breath, stillness, and gentle movement—that growth is happening, even when we can’t quite see it yet.

You don’t have to feel brave to begin.
You just have to begin, wobbly step and all.

With love,
