🌿 Finding Your Inner Buddha: Simple Words for a Complex World

In the rush of modern life, it’s easy to forget that wisdom isn’t something we need to chase — it already lives within us. The ancient yogis called it satya, the truth that rests quietly at the core of our being. Buddhists speak of the inner Buddha, a reminder that peace and clarity are not distant goals but ever‑present possibilities. Yet sometimes, we need a spark — a phrase, a story, a gentle nudge — to remind us of what we already know.


✨ The Power of Simple Words

Think of the times when a single sentence shifted your perspective.

  • “The pose begins when you want to get out of it.”

  • “Peace comes not from doing more, but from being more.”

These aren’t just words. They are mirrors, reflecting back the truths we often overlook. Quotes and short stories have a way of cutting through the noise, offering comfort in moments of doubt and encouragement when we feel stuck.


🌸 Stories That Speak to Us

A yoga teacher once told me about a student who struggled with balance poses. She would wobble, fall, and laugh nervously. One day, the teacher whispered, “Balance isn’t about standing still. It’s about learning to sway without falling.”

That simple reframe changed everything. The student realised balance wasn’t perfection — it was steadfastness, patience, and resilience. Isn’t that the same lesson we need in life?


📖 A Companion for Your Journey

That’s the heart of my book, Yoga Words of Wisdom. It’s a collection of quotes, reflections, and short stories designed to be a companion on your journey — whether you’re a yoga teacher seeking inspiration for your classes, a student looking for guidance, or simply someone in need of daily comfort. Each page offers a gentle reminder: wisdom doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes, the simplest words are the ones that stay with us the longest.


🌞 Daily Practice of Inner Wisdom

Here’s a practice you can try today:

  1. Pause — take three deep breaths.

  2. Read a single quote — let it settle in your mind.

  3. Reflect — ask yourself, “How does this apply to my life right now?”

You’ll be surprised how often the right words arrive at the right time.


🎁 Closing Thought

Finding your inner Buddha isn’t about escaping the world. It’s about remembering that wisdom, peace, and joy are already within you. Sometimes, all it takes is a few words to bring them to the surface. If you’re ready to invite more inspiration into your day, explore  — a book of gentle guidance, timeless stories, and quotes to uplift your practice and your life.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Kate Bickford

"I thought I’d done yoga before but it is a whole new wonderful experience with Lucy-Ann. I absolutely love her classes. Her knowledge is immense, not just of the yoga postures, but combined with her anatomical knowledge she is fabulously equipped to help advanced or complete beginners."

Donna Petterson

"Lucy-Ann's yoga classes are exceptional. Her knowledge, care and teaching experience provide reassurance, guidance and encouragement. I started with no yoga experience whatsoever, and now, 4 years in, yoga has become a vital part of my life, self-care, fitness and wellbeing. She is truly an inspirational Yoga Teacher." 

Dr Rhys Bullman

"I thought stiff joints were  just part of ageing, but when I began to struggle with simply bending down and doing my shoelaces up, I knew I had to do something. I found yoga, and have never looked back. Lucy-Ann's classes are both challenging and wonderfully satisfying. Her teaching, and attention to all her students is commendable."
