Dandasana

Dandasana was the hardest pose for me when I began to practice. My hamstrings were so tight that even with my knees bent my pelvis tilted backwards. Years later I still cringe whenever it comes up in class.

Now I can do poses that I wouldn't have dared to dream of in the beginning. Somewhere along the way dandasana became easier, but my dread of it remained.

That made me start wondering ... how many other poses have changed without my noticing?

My new focus on my mat is to reexamine my practice.

Let go of how it used to feel or how I think it should be.
Focus on what is happening in the moment.
Breathe and be present.
Feel.

Wish me luck, this may be harder than dandasana used to be.

Bring your yoga mat with you wherever you go.

Have a good laugh at least once a day.
