When they say "relax your face" during yoga class, I know they're talking to me.
I tend to wear a very serious expression and hold my breath when postures get tough. And I realize I do the same thing I get stressed at work, at home, or wherever.
"Try hard, but not so hard that you forget to breathe... and smile," they say at the studio. If you can bend, twist, and compress your body into a "Japanese ham sandwich" in a 40.6°C room, concentrate on your form, push till it hurts, regulate your breathing--and yet STILL manage a "happy smiling face"... you'll begin to think there's nothing in this life you can't handle.
More life lessons learned on the mat coming soon!
