A Thought: Do you receive on your yoga mat?

Do you receive your poses or do you impose them onto your body?

Signs of imposing:
You are forcing
Pose has hardness
You stop breathing

As you go into your pose, be in a state of reception.  What does the pose have to teach you?  When you come out of the pose, pause for a moment to appreciate the effect of the pose.

This topic is an interesting one to teach...

Great question and I'm going to pose it to my class tomorrow. Thank you for the wonderful inspiration.

I'm so often posing, that I do not have time to get into the pose. I will be open to opening to receive. Thank you!
Love,
Dan
