“I was born with a wide-open, stress-free body. That
is my natural state, and I can see myself returning to that comfortable
state of being.”
EMBRACE CHANGE
Biologically speaking, we ARE change. Everything in our world is in a
constant state of flux, and some of the happiest yoga students are those
that not only except this, but embrace it.
To embrace change, begin with a visual image of where you’re going and what
joys the future has in store for you.
IT’S NOT ABOUT THE POSE
Ultimately, yoga is not about the postures. Physically speaking, even the
most advanced yoga students are nothing compared with today’s average
dancers or gymnasts.
So why then do we practice so much? What’s the point?
Learning to stand on your head is important because of what it represents:
overcoming fear, focusing your mind, achieving a balance of strength and
flexibility.
For every inch of flexibility you gain in your hamstrings or your hips,
you’ll immediately feel that much more open and expressive in your life. As
your body becomes lean and strong, again, you’ll take that strength off the
mat into your life without any conscious effort needed.
As one of my teachers, Tony Robbins says, “How you do anything is how you do
everything.”
Mastering yoga poses helps you mater your life. So get up early, roll out
your mat, and get to it!
