We all know in a yoga session when we have pushed too hard and injured ourselves.
We have pushed our edge too far. Rather than gain, we have caused excess pain.
Playing our edge requires we move out of the totally familiar and comfortable, but not willy-nilly.
Thoughtfully and sensitively we find our edge where there is discomfort. We back off from sharp or excessive pain, and we tease or play at this edge skillfully and with curiosity and delight.
Exploring the edge of our yoga poses, we can become pioneers of our edge through our asana practice.
This can train or teach us to be thoughtful and sensitive explorers off the mat as well.
Hi-ho! Yoga explorers… life awaits you!
