I had this little fella join me for my yoga practice this morning, behind a little sand dune in a nice sunny spot. Sounds yoga perfect right.. sorry to burst your perfect yoga bubble BUT there is no perfect yoga, well, not in my yoga world.
I had a lot of resistance this morning with my practice... sand, march flys, flys, ants, a tight sore body... until I gave in and flopped into yin. Slowly the unravelling began, my body started to soften, my breath kicked in OR my awareness of my breath kicked in and my mind softened. It took some time for me to listen to what I really needed this morning.
Anyway after my Pranayama and meditation I open my eyes and this little guy was just in front of me, sand bathing and resting in the warm sun. He knew I was there but he chose to release the resistance and to trust in that moment.
So I don't believe in yoga perfect OR perfect yoga, however, I believe our yoga can help us deal with our resistance and ideas of perfection, to perhaps help us to sit in the discomfort of our mind and body.
Our practice also can help us to see the little glimmers in life, just like this little fella joining me in my not so perfect practice today.
