Sun Salutation

The dreaded sun salutation! It has always challenged me. My strength is always tested. Normally, in our Sunday class, the instructor doesn’t make sun salutations the focus, but today was a little different. It was the sole focus. And that made me a little nervous, but I tried to embrace it. Such a simple sequence can be so hard! It takes focus to move with the breath and strength to hold each pose with proper alignment. Chaturanga is so challenging, and so is downward dog! It’s a good reminder that no matter how many times I practice yoga, it will always challenge me in the best way. And, it’s also always a good reminder why staying consistent with my practice is key! When I practice more, I feel stronger. When I haven’t been for awhile, I feel weak. I love working with my body, challenging it, but I especially love that a great yoga class allows me to do that at my own pace while in the presence of community.
