I would like to share…that I am fucking fantastic at arm balances. Like…give me an arm balance and I flourish. I love it.

But give me anything where my legs have to go past 90 degrees….nope. not happening. I get frustrated. angry. lose my breathing. obviously something I need to work through. but my inability to splits is a major challenge in my practice. hopefully one day. but it’s honestly one of those things that I wonder If I will ever be able to achieve this. even if I practiced everyday…I think that perhaps this is something my body will not do. Which is okay. My body can do whatever it wants. It is now up to my mind to either accept this…or continue to fight against my body just to become an aesthetically pleasing yogi.

In one of my classes yesterday, a woman beside me had a foot injury. Our instructor told her to take it easy to which she replied, “oh don’t worry, I’m here for my mind”. I borrowed her intention for my practice and had a great class :)

Great post!
