Uncover Your Own Pose

July 15, 2016/in Blog, inspiration /by Tara Lemerise

Love and respect for teachers is a powerful part of our practice but we need to find our own way.

This is vīrabhadrāsana I, also known as warrior I.

These so-called "classic forms" of the poses always call to me.

This work gets a bad rap sometimes because I think folks assume this kind of asana practice is about perfecting a certain shape.

But that's not it at all.

This entire practice is how do we move in the direction of without the ego leading the way?

The questions are NOT:
🚫How do I get my head back?
🚫How do I deepen this backbend?
🚫How do I achieve the perfect pose?

Believe me when I say been there, done that. I’ve asked more than my fair share of those questions over the past 20+ years of yoga practice!

Instead the best questions of this practice sound like:
✨Can I keep the sense of the earth under my feet while I'm lifting towards the sky?
✨Can I work my arms from my arms and not just my hands?
✨Can I maintain the sense of containment in the front of my body while exploring the bend of my back?
✨Where is my breath? Does it support me at this moment?

It’s true that it isn’t the poses we practice but how we practice the poses that makes yoga.

And also. Poses like this are a great place to be curious.

And that’s a wrap on day one of my first ever hybrid in-person + live-stream Rest for All: Restorative Yoga Teacher Training at @rootsandriveryoga

I look at this photo and chuckle because who would have ever thought that I’d need a face mask, projector and screen, microphone, Zoom, and PowerPoint to teach folks how to unplug. I’ve really expanded the meaning of #allofthepropsallofthetimes, don’t you think?
