Everything is possible with time, patience and practice. I think by far my biggest learning over the past 5 weeks has been understanding my limitations. But it has also been understanding which poses and practices I could do in order to one day achieve something I may not be able to do today. Often times the things which I cannot achieve on my first try become my biggest frustrations. I will avoid that particular pose or exercise. I would tell myself it was for my own safety, or that it would simply always be impossible due to my physical limitations. Unless there is pain I know now to look deeper, to find the source of my week ness. Building up the strength and or flexibility I lack in certain areas can only benefit me in the long run. I never imagined I would be able to have my heals touch the ground in down dog. 7 years of regular practice I had given up on it ever being a possibility. I was so wrong.
