Perfectly Bad

"If it's worth doing, it's worth doing badly." - anonymous

I know, it sounds wrong. But, stay with me here.

Often times we let doing a posture "perfectly" get in the way of doing the posture. Cast aside your fears and worries of humiliation and remind yourself that you are a yoga student. You are in class to learn. You are practicing.

And then remember that every body is different. Literally. Bone placement, past injuries, alignment, weight, and a load of other conditions impact how your body will move. So don't sweat how the posture looks. Turn your focus inward and get in touch with how it feels. If it feels good...it's perfect!
