Some days it’s a little easier than others to make my way through a 90 minute Ashtanga Primary Series yoga class.

It is always a challenge as I still cannot do many of the postures towards the end of the series. Diligent effort and help from teachers aids in slow and steady progress, but it’s also a practice of patience and acceptance.

It’s not so much about what I can or cannot do, it’s all about showing up.

It is not our abilities that show what we truly are.  It is our choices.
