It’s easy to forget that difficulty is relative. This is one of the countless reasons we need to consider what “Advanced” yoga is. It is not difficult for Lebron James to dunk a basketball. He’s tall. It’s not difficult for my wife to do Hanumanasana. She’s had flexible hamstrings since she was born and she danced for long, long time. It’s not difficult for me to do Handstand, Headstand orForearm Balance because I have a relatively tight body and postures like these don’t require me to bend anywhere. ⠀
⠀
So, if you’re hyper-mobile, it’s not difficult to make a shape that requires a lot of mobility. If you have a joint structure that allows a 90 degree angle to occur in 1 or 2 joints of your spine, you’re going to be able to do extreme backbends.⠀
⠀
Some things that are difficult for me are simply not difficult for another. And, vice versa. Many things that are easy for me are difficult for others.⠀
⠀
This is important to keep in mind as as student and teacher. Otherwise, we’ll keep falling into the same ego-trap time and time again. Instead, appreciate what is accessible for you and what is difficult for you. Also, appreciate what is accessible for others and what is difficult for others. And, let’s stop making the mistake of making “difficult” and “advanced” synonyms.⠀

Thank you 🙏 to everyone that attended our first class at our new location last Wednesday. Here is a restatement of what we talked about last class. See you all and maybe some new faces on Wednesday!

No pain, no gain is a breakdown strategy we have been taught our whole lives. Struggle through. Force it to make it work. 😖

A strategy of excess tension limits our potential and leads to breakdown.

Of course we all want progress so what is a better way? We get good at what we practice.

We can create new, useful habits that lead to breakthrough. We can embody a better way. Move & live with grace and ease. Use what you need. Rest what you don’t. Works for physical practice and the rest of life too. 🦋

There isn’t a prize for who is the most stressed, tense and frustrated. It’s not your fault, this is how so many of us have been taught everything. We believe in a better way for all of us. It’s the foundation of how we practice. Everyone is welcome.

Change how you move, change how you live. Change yourself. Change the world. 🌎

Something new about to start!!
