About a week ago, I went for an indian teacher’s Hatha 2 yoga class and I was reminded of many of the fundamentals of the yoga practice. He reminded the class of the reason why we practice. He also reminded us that ultimately what we want to achieve is not the asana perfection but rather, the inner peace, our inner growth, enlightenment?
Incredible as it seems, sometimes when one surrender, one can gain more instead. This is often heard in an old chinese saying.
When you become too stubborn and unyielding, things often turn even more against you. However, when you are able to surrender and to go with the flow, things always turn out somehow for the better eventually.
Heebs has this particular flow which he is having us do pretty a lot this few weeks. It is what he calls the offering yoga flow (i think). I love the flow as it is simple, graceful and yet symbolic. When you do the flow, you are offering to something bigger than you ( maybe it’s the universe, your god or the divine ).
