Release your Ego

This quote I read today reminded me of releasing your ego when practicing yoga.

"Just because you're a supernatural, unstoppable, manifesting machine, doesn't mean you can't ask for help. A lot of help. And fully expect to receive it. " - Mike Dooley, Inspirational Author, Speaker and Friend

The Yoga Gainesville Florida communtity may not realize that yoga is all about releasing your ego. As a private yoga instructor for Lavanya Yoga classes in Gainesville Florida I am a firm believer in falling over in a balancing pose like Ardha Chandrasana (Half Moon) because everyone does!

Even the most advanced yogis have fallen out of a pose. Like Bryan Kest says "Fall with acceptance and awareness."

Calmly centering yourself and getting back into the pose is letting your ego release. Effortless movement from pose to pose with each breath will help you to release your ego. Breathing and focusing on what your body feels like doing and is doing at that very moment is the very first step.
