I love hearing your way-seeking mind story, Janine! There are so many gifts that come from a practice, and you've described them beautifully. Three bows.

“Yoga taught me to work with the body that I have, and not the one I wish I had.”

This one is hard. Every time I see people sit cross legged easily and then bend forward and place their forehead on the floor, or do impossible stunts like Lotus position, I reminded that I can’t and won’t be able to do that. I’ve been practicing for years and am flexible, but when bone meets bone that’s the end of the flex in that joint.

My body is strong, resilient, pain free, has good balance, and flexible. It doesn’t need to do all of the things.
