Why You Feel Drained (And How to Change That)
Alright, let’s talk about energy.
Not in a “let’s all hold hands and chant until we levitate” kind of way. I mean the energy that gets you through your day, keeps your brain from turning to mush, and stops you from snapping at the bloke who just cut you off in the car park.
Most people I meet are drained. Constantly running on fumes. Doing all the “right” things—hitting the gym, eating their greens, working themselves into the ground—but still knackered.
Why? Because they’re completely disconnected from their own energy field.
Now, don’t roll your eyes just yet. This isn’t some mystical woo-woo nonsense. It’s physics. Yoga teaches us that energy follows awareness. So if your awareness is all over the place—scrolling, worrying, rushing, reacting—your energy is doing the same. Leaking. Draining. Scattering.
And you wonder why you feel like an old iPhone that won’t hold a charge.
The fix? You stop leaking and start expanding. You turn inward, plug back into your own source, and learn to actually manage your energy. Because when you’re truly connected, when you cultivate and contain what’s already within you, you become an overflowing force of vitality, generosity, and power.
This isn’t about hoarding energy like some spiritual dragon sitting on a hoard of gold. It’s about developing a strong, steady current so that you’re no longer at the mercy of life’s chaos.
And if that sounds good to you—keep reading. Because this is what yoga is actually about.
You’re Not Tired, You’re Disconnected
Look, I get it. Life is busy. You’ve got work, family, responsibilities. Maybe even a social life if you’re lucky. And at the end of the day, you collapse on the sofa and wonder why you feel so damn depleted.
Here’s the truth: You’re not just physically tired. You’re energetically scattered.
Yoga teaches that our prana—our life force—is constantly moving. And if you don’t know how to direct it, it will go wherever your attention goes.
- Doomscrolling before bed? Your energy’s getting sucked into your phone.
- Overcommitting to things you don’t actually care about? Your energy’s leaking into obligations.
- Constantly running worst-case scenarios in your head? Your energy’s feeding your anxiety.
Meanwhile, your real, deep, steady power sits untouched. Waiting.
And I hate to break it to you, but no amount of oat milk lattes, bubble baths, or Netflix binges will fix that. You need a practice that retrains your system—one that collects, refines, and expands your energy.
And that’s where yoga comes in. Real yoga. Not just stretching in leggings, but the full-spectrum, ancient, tried-and-tested Tantric Hatha practice that actually does what it was designed to do: make you more powerful, more present, and more alive.
The First Step: Stop Chasing, Start Cultivating
Most people go looking for energy in all the wrong places—sugar, caffeine, external validation, that one person who still hasn’t texted back. But yoga flips the script.
It says: you already have everything you need. You just need to learn how to use it.
Tantric Hatha yoga gives us tools to do this. And no, I don’t mean a new crystal or a vision board. I mean actual, tangible, practical methods that have been passed down for thousands of years because they work.
- The Breath (Pranayama): You think you’re breathing properly? Think again. Your breath is the quickest way to stop your energy from leaking and bring it back under your control.
- The Body (Asana): Not just stretching for the sake of it, but holding postures with awareness to cultivate steadiness, presence, and deep connection.
- The Mind (Meditation): Training your awareness to stop scattering and start expanding. This is where the real magic happens.
When you put these together—not as random “wellness” practices but as a system—you stop feeling like a flickering candle in the wind and start feeling like a power station.
And guess what happens when you’re energetically full? You become naturally generous. Your presence alone starts uplifting others. You don’t have to force it, fake it, or deplete yourself in the process. It just happens.
This Is Your Invitation
If this is resonating with you—if you’re tired of feeling tired, if you want to actually experience what yoga was designed to do—then it’s time to step up.
And before you say, “I’m not flexible,” or “I don’t have time,” let me stop you right there. This isn’t about touching your toes. It’s about transforming your life.
The good news? You don’t have to go to an ashram in India to start. You can do this right now.
We’ve built the YL App exactly for this—to give you a structured, accessible way to start plugging into your own power, wherever you are. It’s not just a bunch of random classes. It’s a real system—rooted in tradition, designed for transformation.
