It’s easy to feel like there’s a “right” way to do mindfulness practices. Social media and wellness culture often showcase glowing groups of people, meditating together or flowing through yoga poses in unison. For years, I felt a twinge of guilt for not joining in. Was I missing out? Was I doing it wrong? Now I see it differently. Human Design has taught me that the “right” way is the one that honors my unique energy and needs. For me, that means embracing solo meditation and yoga as a way to clear the mental clutter and find true peace.

I’ve always been fascinated by the idea of meditation and yoga. There’s something magical about the thought of sitting in stillness, tuning into your breath, and letting the world fade away. Yet, despite my deep appreciation for these practices, I’ve never joined a group meditation or yoga class. Not once. It’s not because I’m shy, nor is it a lack of opportunity. There have been countless moments when I’ve considered it. I’d even picture myself rolling out a yoga mat in a serene studio, surrounded by people exhaling their worries away. But every time, something inside me stops me. For the longest time, I couldn’t pinpoint why. Then I discovered Human Design and learned about my undefined head center. That’s when everything clicked.
