Reading: off the deep end?

Found this great one on the On The Mat Yoga Studio website, where I’ll be teaching Deep Stretch on Feb 21st.   Thanks for sharing Ramsay – Love it!

“Remember it doesn’t matter  how deep into a posture you go — what does matter is who you are when you get there.” Max Strom

Great reminder of our aim in asana (seat/posture), which is not to max out, but rather find more balanced effort.  Patanjali’s Sutra 2.46 guides us to balance stability/steadiness with ease in asana.   Never forcing and maintaining some calm for the nerves via breath, focus, alignment, etc.
