Tomorrow will be very busy so I'll send a post now. Let me quote the description following Item 1, from 8 Things No One Tells You About Yoga: "It's called a 'practice' for a reason. I always thought it was weird that people referred to yoga as their "practice." It sounded so pretentious. But it makes complete sense. There's no end game in yoga; no big "race day." nothing specific you're training for. It's a constant work in progress, and you can almost always take a pose further or make it more challenging. (I also learned that calling it a "practice" alleviated a lot of stress or pressure during each class or pose. Didn't stick Crow today? Maybe next time?)
OK. I'll admit the photos are from a few years back, taken by my brother Jim and his wife Anne at Hilton Head. I'll try to get some new ones next month.
being new to yoga I definitely view it as a daily practice. I can see the benefits in other parts of my life and with deeper more conscious breathing I am able to really take a moment to smell the flowers, as a friend once reminded me over 20 years ago when I was at a hectic pace.
