Yoga requires your complete attention. You are responsible for your own practice and knowing what is right for your body, breath and mind in the present moment. It is recommended that you practice with the guidance of a teacher you trust before trying more challenging postures on your own. You will not reach enlightened any quicker by achieving the most pretzel-like pose you can find, and especially not if you injure yourself in the process! For some, stillness is the most difficult pose. Follow the guides inside of you. Thank you for respecting your current limits and treating your body as the temple it is.
