Yoga helps us develop deep powers of concentration. When we can focus the mind and harness the energy of our thoughts we can move mountains. But if the mind is left untrained, all the potential remains untapped. Yoga practice demands a certain level of difficulty because it is the intensity that helps concentrate the mind. Finding the right mix of challenge is part of what a good teacher can do. Without expert guidance we may push too hard or too little, get lost and confused along the path. To follow in the footsteps of a teacher is a blessing, a kind of grace, that makes the journey easier. We may never achieve all the asanas and that’s ok. The real benefits are always happening on the unseen planes within. Keep practicing 🙏 Tim and I will be teaching in Miami next week for Mysore classes, Adjustment Clinic and Saturday Ritual @miamilifecenter and for two weeks in Mallorca and then again for our summer One Month Intensive in July. Next workshops: Malaysia, Vietnam, Taipei and Cincinnati.

The most important thing to remember about yoga is that the practice itself is proof that we can do it. It has been done for thousands of generations before us. And, as we continue on our own journeys, we will continue to inspire others to step on the mat and take up the practice after us. . . . . . . #yoga #yogi #yogadudes #yogamen #yogalove #yogainspiration #yogaeverydamnday #yogaforlife #yogaformen #boysofyoga #mensyoga #yogaphilippines #yogaeverywhere #ashtanga #ashtangi #ashtangayoga #sthirabhaga #vasisthasana #armbalance #sideplank #yogaph #igersmanila #grammerph #fitspo #pinoygram #yogamanila #igyoga #instayoga #madaboutyoga #advanceda (at Ashtanga Yoga Manila) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf_11lPPxc5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
86 steps give or take a few.
I've *always* been able to walk on my hands. By always, I mean I don't remember the day I "mastered" the skill. It's just something I've *always* been able to do & for that reason, I take the skill for granted.
I assume adults watch my handstands w/a certain level of awe & envy. I understand b/c I learned this skill as a child, a small human who did not fully understand the concept of death, who did not fully understand what it meant to be vulnerable.
A handstand is an inversion. In an earlier post, I defined inversion as meaning a reversal of position, form, order, or relationship. So as it relates to handstands, we become inverted b/c we stand on our hands, not our feet. We've reversed our natural position.
In yoga, an inversion is any pose where your heart is above your head e.g. handstand, headstand, shoulder stand, & even downward facing dog. These poses are varying levels of difficult for a number of reasons including the fact that humans feel vulnerable when our heart is above our head which is "bad" when you're trying to master an inversion.
Why is this "bad"?
B/c we have been conditioned to believe that vulnerability is dangerous.
Vulnerability can be taken advantage of.
So what does that mean for me? Do I carry out my life w/reckless abandon b/c I view vulnerability as merely a different way of carrying myself the same way a handstand walk is merely a different way of moving my body across a room?
With regards to certain aspects of my life, I'm beginning to think the answer to that question is yes.

Some lessons take a lifetime to learn and the lessons evolve with us. How do I know? For the past two years, I’ve been pulling the same 7 cards from my oracle deck 😅 #yoga #armbalance #inversion https://www.instagram.com/p/CAapmTmDTcI/?igshid=1k86zvufec9bl
