Wherever someone shows you presence. Often through grandmothers.
Who taught you presence without using that word?

My grandmother practiced yoga for fifty years. She called it sitting down.
Asana means seat. Not pose. She had it right all along, the vocabulary just hadn't caught up.
What does your practice look like without the words?

Contentment was harder than any arm balance I attempted.
Santosha means contentment. Being present where you are without grasping. Western yoga doesn't teach it.
How do you practice contentment without giving up on growth?

My first meditation teacher wore a floral apron and spoke only Spanish. She taught presence through watering plants.
Stillness, intention, silence. Meditation without the word.
Who taught you presence before you had words for it?

For everyone who learned stillness from a grandmother who never used the word 'mindfulness'. The first teachers rarely call themselves teachers.
Training helps us recognize what was always there.
Did your grandmother teach you presence?
