It was a little windy and a lot chilly outside today, but any day spent at the beach is fine by me. I did a few poses before the cold got to me...
 |
| King Pidgeon (Eka Pada Rajakapotasana) |
 |
| One-Legged Balance (Eka Pada Galavasana) |
 |
| Tripod Headstand Variation (Sirsasana) |
These poses are by no means perfect, they are just a part of my practice. Some postures come easily for me, others take more time and patience to achieve, such as tripod head stand. During meditation today I reminisced back to my first few yoga experiences, particularly the things I found difficult that now come easily. One of my biggest yogic achievements has been harnessing my Ocean-Sounding breath, Ujjayi pranayama; a feat that took me two years. Sometimes, the simplest things can be made difficult by our egos. For this reason, I find it important to remind myself daily to smile, breath, and go slowly. It's not how hard you fall, but how fast you get back up (I'm not trying to take credit for this quote, I'm just unsure of who actually said it).
Have a great Saturday!
