In the early morning class today, I got everyone to hold Eagle Pose for a little longer while I was trying to explain that Yoga is about using the pose to get into the body, instead of using the body to get into the pose 😅
Meanwhile, everyone was busy trying to wrap their legs and arms and looked very confused 😅 Then I said, “Maybe it’s a little too early in the morning to go this deep into the conversation,” and we all had a good laugh 😊 Sometimes, the laugh is all that matters.
What I mean is, the shape of the pose is not the most important part. The real practice is noticing what you feel inside while you are there: your breath, your thoughts, your focus, your emotions, and the sensations in the body.
Sometimes we become so focused on “doing the pose right” that we forget to actually experience it.
Keep practicing! Keep smiling!
Much love to you all! ❤️
