Learn To Let Go

Yoga is not about mastering and muscling your way into certain poses. Find the enjoyment in the journey and awaken the body. First always make sure the alignment of a pose is correct to the best of your ability, then let your body relax, and go with the flow, some of the most difficult postures are achieved when you allow your muscles to relax. Once you stop striving for perfection and feel the body you will be surprised what your body can do. What was once impossible in your mind is now possible. It’s amazing what the body can accomplish with a little persistence, a little inward perception, and learning just to let go.
