"Without a struggle, there can be no progress.' Frederick Douglass
Every yogi has their favorite poses...those they return to like an old familiar friend. As the body settles into the posture, the breath slows and the thoughts become centered. On the other hand, every yogi has those asanas that produce a real struggle...either physically or mentally. We hold on to too much, set our expectations too high, or fail to release our bodies fully into the pose.
However, as much as we love our favorite poses, our least favorites may be the ones that provide what we need the most. This morning, keep an open mind as we move though our practice. When you struggle in a pose, use the moment as an opportunity for growth. How is your body speaking to you?
