Part of my practice of Yoga has been reining in my inner competitive South African male. Cumulative hours of pre-Rugby match pep talks mean there is enough “Pick Me” and “Stand up and be counted” in my deep soaked scripts to power many Bobby Skinstad commentary sessions. Although the headstand is a big part of the Sivananda style of yoga I follow, it isn’t the point. Aggressively trying to get into postures leads to injuries. Instead, Tim Minchin style “micro-ambition” is better. Small, achievable, sustainable goals that build good habits. One step at a time. Slightly deeper. Slightly more relaxed. Stilling the waves of money anxiety starts with acknowledging where you are. Being aware. Then gradually building a practice.
