Practice makes Perfect
After practicing I wish I was this woman in the picture below. She looks serene, comfortable, relaxed, and happy. My experience after completing yoga exercises on my own is nothing like this. My back feels strained, my head hurts, my palms are sweaty, and my legs are frankly jello. It seems contradictory that such a practice as yoga, which is intended to release the tensions of your body, can create a whole heap of new tensions in places I didn't want them. What is it about yoga that seems so hard - I find it frustrating that I can't master, or even attempt at times, the fluid motions and breaths that are a core part of yoga. Is it really practice that makes us perfect, or is it something else? I don't know how much more practice my body can take at times.
