Nice realization about the relationship of yoga and our body. I often see this in many practitioners, that as they mature in their practice they realize that it isn't about completing the "set" but it's about finding that balance between what our bodies need and the kind of practice you should do for the day. This includes not having to do yoga for the day and just chill and go with the flow and resonating with the energy of the place, your surroundings, and the state of your innermost self. At the end of the day, it is about the awareness of the divine within, growing the love, and sharing it with the universe. Namaskar. 🙏
Very well said @juanvegetarian! Couldn't agree more!
I used to feel so guilty about this but nowadays, I definitely just go with the flow. Have you done yoga too?
Yes, I did. I still do, but not so much of the asanas any more. I used to feel that "guilt" also. I think it comes with the territory of having the discipline to practice regularly. Looking at if from the lens of the different steps (or stages) of yoga, I feel more attracted to the other areas of practice, such as pranayama, dhyana, or even samadhi. Maybe because I am older and none the wiser. 😁
