94. Tight Bodies

In this episode of Office Hours we discuss:

• Tight bodies are the most typical human bodies.
• Your ability to do advanced poses has little to nothing to do with what’s going on inside yourself.
• Having a tight body is not a bad thing because when we have physical resistance, we pay attention. Without resistance, there is no letting go into the present moment.
• Life is not here to make us happy; it is here to wake us up. When the world pushes back, that is the moment we practice asana, literal or metaphoric.
• Asana is part of a yoga practice to keep the body healthy, to begin to understand how to focus, and to remember to pay attention to sensation, because sensation only lives in the moment.
