It’s not about being fearless. It’s about acting in spite of fear . I know that sometimes within these Instagram squares I look fearless with all these inverted yoga poses that I post. The reality is that if you ask anyone who knows me, they’ll tell you that I’m the opposite - I’m a total scaredy cat. This funky arm balance/inversion pose came up in a class I attended recently, and I could not get myself up because I felt so lopsided and unstable. But the real thing holding me back was the fact that I was terrified I would fall over and embarrass myself. . Knowing that this fear exists, I know I had to revisit it again. The fear doesn’t actually go away (at least for me, maybe it does for other people..?) but the point is to try anyway in spite of it. It’s always there at the back of my mind, but the practice is to try not to let it dominate my actions. . Remember, we practice this on the mat so that we can take it with us off the mat as we venture off to new things - to live a life without boundaries created by the mind. #yogalessonsarelifelessons . . . . . #funkypincha #funkyinversion #takeflightinfebruary #yogainversion #upsidedownyogi #armbalance #yogaarmbalance #strongyogi #yogagirl #practiceandalliscoming #practiceyogachangeyourworld #yogaeverydamnday #yogaeveryblessedday #yogajourney #yogachallenge #yogisofinstagram #onebreathatatime #yogagram #yogajournal #fitfam #sgyogis #sgyoga #yogainspiration #keeppracticing
