The Eagle Pose and Change


Today in yoga, we practiced Eagle Pose—a posture where you wrap your arms and legs around each other while balancing on one leg. It’s a powerful pose that challenges your balance, focus, core strength, and stability. It’s not always easy! After holding it on one side, you unwind and repeat on the other.

Some days I can lift off and stay steady; other days, like today, I couldn’t even get my foot off the ground.

On the drive home, I kept thinking about Eagle Pose—how frustrating it can be, but also how it represents change. It requires moving in a way my body isn’t used to. Then, just as quickly, I return to what feels normal.

That got me thinking: in life and work, we’re often asked to do things differently—to stretch ourselves in unfamiliar ways. And while it can feel uncomfortable or awkward, if we don’t make those changes, we stay exactly where we are. When we stay where we are, we stop learning. Our productivity can stall, and we risk slipping into a rut.

Growth often begins with discomfort. Whether it’s on the yoga mat or in our daily routines, leaning into that challenge is what keeps us moving forward.
