And how did we ever live without your yoga insights?<br /><br />I spent a few mornings doing yoga on the beach in Hawaii and one of the instructors reminded me that the most important thing I could do was not a pose, but was to let my mind step aside and simply observe my body. "Breathe, Align, Relax." Was his mantra. He said he takes 90 seconds every hour to do that. I'm trying!<br /><br />From another little girl who found it safest to live inside her head, I can say that the most impactful part of this was when you reminded me that a strength overused becomes a weakness. NO kidding! That's what I'm working on most.<br /><br />Thank you.kariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10150537989886423212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323372985310307718.post-41020111168675581322010-06-09T15:47:31.598-07:002010-06-09T15:47:31.598-07:00"The working together that creates a force la..."The working together that creates a force larger than either is able to produce separately.

I understand this post.<br /><br /><br />For some reason,lately, triangle pose has become easier for me, but I think it has to do with running until I am sweated and my body is more fluid and not as stiff. But, I could also be doing it all wrong - however, then again, if I am enjoying the pose more, maybe that is the right way :)Kathryn Magendiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12863595228298349863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323372985310307718.post-64530509013753935282010-06-06T11:59:20.360-07:002010-06-06T11:59:20.360-07:00Oh, how I wish I were more adept and turning off m...Oh, how I wish I were more adept and turning off my brain!
