The Goal With Yoga
I had written sometime back on Mastodon, and I am paraphrasing here, that with yoga it felt like I was trying to get back to how my body was when I was a child.
I had this realisation after looking at Savya doing all the things I was trying to do effortlessly. Savya was able to bend his back, his feet everything and just sit there like that.
The goal with yoga, is to be able to do the poses, effortlessly. Most days I am huffing as I go through the surya-namaskar. The goal is to be able to flow, to not feel minimal effort.

I am on a journey. The goal is to do things simply.
I can touch the ground in the forward bend while doing surya-namaskar, fairly easily now. It does not happen in one smooth motion still. There is still a long way to go. I wrote about the goal with yoga . I continue to work toward that goal.
