I love this quote from Mark Whitwell in Yoga of Heart - its about the how and why of yoga and adapting it to YOU. There is more than enough striving for something in our day-to-day life without taking it into our yoga as well! What do you think? "Yoga needs to be fitted exactly to who we are. You slip into your yoga like a favorite pair of jeans. If it is technically correct for you, yoga is immensely pleasurable. The ONLY reason we do yoga is for the pleasure, the literal pleasure of our system relaxing and filling with energy. It is not some struggle to enjoy a future result. The practice need not and should not be obsessive, because then you are back in that old mind trying to get somewhere as if you are not already the wonder of life. It naturally supports your life, like a daily shower or breakfast, no big deal, no issue. Inherent to the practice of yoga is the understanding that it is YOUR yoga." Yoga of Heart, page 70.
