Plateaus

Today Mr. Iyengar spoke about being dissapointed in your practice. That hit home. After giving birth to twin boys 6 years ago, I haven't had time to practice as I'd like. And while my understanding of yoga has deepened, my asana practice has stalled.

So when Mr. Iyengar said, "Live with the disappointment in yoga. Bear with your failures. They are the stepping stones to climb up the lighthouse," I felt hopeful. Yet another reminder from Guruji that all is flux. Nothing is static, no asana, no practice. Everything changes.
