Surrender

Yoga is, for me, a form of self-hypnosis. Instead of prejudging where the boundaries are, I use it to learn to relax into what is possible. This doesn't come naturally to me. I am not a "surrender" type of guy. I am a step-up, all-in, do-what-it-takes fighter.  I have had to learn, and am still learning to relax. There is nothing that will stop someone who struggles to relax, like telling them to relax. It is a skill you have to learn. Not by a snap of the fingers, but through a gradual process of permission, trust, and practice.
