This more athletic flow builds on Tuesday’s twists and adds an arm balance to the equation. In most of my in-person classes, I try to include one thing that feels “impossible” for many in the room. The reason is that I am a firm believer that the mat is a mirror; we have the opportunity to learn ourselves during asana practice. How do you handle hard things? How do you talk to yourself when something feels out of reach? Do you try? Do you beat yourself up? Do you muscle your way through even if you feel you aren’t quite ready?
My hope is that we can all breathe, recognize the challenge and move with respect for ourselves and our limits, while still encouraging growth and progress.
