Yoga Training Wheels

The thing is I've always assumed I was a complicated girl(and I am)
but lately I am quite content with work, friends, school and yoga.
My life really does not seem to want anything else. I know because I've tried.

I guess that is where this whole idea of organic flow comes to me. When I try to make things happen
they may or may not happen but the flow is off. It is like when you push/fake yourself into a yoga pose.
Yeah, it "looks" okay but you are really not one with the pose, it is not flowing out of you.

For simplicity sake, I've decided to try and refrain from push/faking into poses. First of all, you can hurt yourself and second, you are worried while in the pose versus experiencing it. This kind of behavior complicates things a lot more than it should. I want to go as far as I can go into a pose with my whole heart. There are sometimes, that will not be beautiful but it will be organic.

I say this because there is a pose(headstand) that I really want to push myself into but I know that it is not organic to me, right now. It is not a pose I really have the strength to do and I can honor that. I can modify or do the strength building work... However, my ego is saying, I need to push into this pose to be a great yogini.

Since, I've decided not to push/fake into this pose...it is everywhere haunting me like a ghost. Everyone is talking about, asking me if I want to do it. Yes, I want to do it but I can't. Yes, this may be a mixture of fear(i'm weird about my neck), stubbornness and skill limitation but mainly I am not ready to take my training wheels off with this pose. Where I am right now is fine. It's simple and organic and I kinda want to stay here for a few moments.

Pose of the Day:handstand against the wall or not.  There is nothing like dangling in the air to get your blood flowing. Use the wall as a prop, if you fear falling or if you just want to...

Here's hoping for a simply divine weekend {rocking training wheels, when needed} for us all.
