“No matter how difficult and painful it may be, nothing sounds as good to the soul as the truth.”
Martha Beck
To sit in the middle of truth and go with the flow of it, although difficult and painful, is so much easier and better on your body and soul than trying to fight it.
You suffer no matter what, but I would much rather suffer in the truth than to suffer pretending it isn’t happening!
My brother’s yoga teacher said to them yesterday, “Let Go of the Suffering (and go with the flow)”
The flow is as it is; you are where you are, and not a moment sooner or later.
As we begin the 60-day yoga challenge, don’t try and bring your body where it is not ready to go, face each posture with your level of limberness and strength, be okay right where you are and have patience with your body and little by little it will bring you further into the posture.
Don’t suffer wishing you were further, don’t hurt your body trying to bend push and stretch it beyond its comfort. Remember to breathe in each pose, if you lose the breath, you maybe reaching out too far.
We will build upon the foundation of where you are today, to learn how to stand and lock your knees like a solid lamppost unbroken.
If you try and skip the locked knee, your pose will be shaky and unsteady or reliable.
There are so many metaphors between this yoga and life, slow down and focus on you.
You will watch your body change and strengthen, balance and become limber, flowering into a perfect you.
