SATURDAY'S PRACTICE

10/28/2017

"Valuing “progress” is a deep part of our conditioning. It’s natural to enjoy progress, but problems come when your yoga is attached at its core to results, instead of to the daily process of opening and generating energy. This attachment imposes one of the real limits to your yoga. Many of you have probably noticed how your yoga is cyclical, in the sense that you’re into it, then out of it, then into it again, and so on. One reason for this involves being subtly hooked into accomplishments. When you’re improving, it turns you on, and you’re motivated as long as you continue to improve. When you “plateau” – as we all on occasion do – you need all the energy it took to improve just to maintain where you are. If your main incentive is progress, the lack of improvement can cause you to lose interest. Consequently, you may do less or no yoga until you close up and your body complains. Then you do yoga to feel better, and again you improve until once more you hit a plateau." Joel Kramer
