There is one yoga pose that I always felt that I am hopeless at, at the beginning of that pose I always always get dizzy.
One instructor told me that it was an emotional pose. And that the reason behind my inability to go even halfway through into is that I refuse to let go. He said that I shouldn't be so determined to keep feelings at bay. Hmmmmm.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Emotional. Not really a word that could be used to describe me. Maybe I'm doomed to sit and breathe while everyone else are in their camel positions. Forever.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I like attending classes conducted different instructors. Each one focuses on different things. It was not uncommon for me to discover things that I am doing wrong.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today, the instructor talked about fear. She said that the only reason anyone couldn't do the pose is fear. I wanted to say "what about a bad back?", but I don't want to be banned from class.
I thought (Jester, be with me here) "I may be a lot of things, but I am not a coward". (Horror movies and ghost stories not included!)
So I leaned back, bent back, reached back, and was suddenly in full camel position. For two sets. With the rest of the class.

It is strange how I don't feel any more emotional :-p
