EEERRRMMEEERRGGEERRDDD this posture is a doozy! This picture was taken a few months ago & to be honest I have not found much progress with this bad boy yet. I'm okay with that though. Several years ago, however, I probably, no I definitely, would have beaten myself up over this one. Today though, I'm happy to be right where I am within my yoga practice. Through the years of regular practice I've learned so much about myself, a big thing being my impatience with my own body when it didn't/couldn't do something my mind wanted it to do. Since then the physical practice of yoga alone has slowed me way down, in a good way of course ! Allowing me to peel back layer after layer and exposing my truest self💚 I will always be a student to yoga in this life as yoga is not a means to an end type of deal. I always have to work on myself: working to keep my balance, soften my heart, and to surrender to what is. I truly adore this life of yoga and no, I will never stop 🙏 . . . #flyingpigeonpose #flyingcrow #armbalance #yogaposes #yoga #asana #yogaphotography #yogapractice #tapas #sthira #sukha #ooeygooey #mindfulness #awareness #renotahoe #carsonproud #yogateacher #localyogastudio #yogaincarsoncity #silverstrikeyoga #silverstrikecrossfit #yogastrong #yogastudent #yogaeverydamnday #yogaislife (at Silver Strike Yoga)
