To quote my friend and fellow #BaptisteYoga teacher @michelleilanag: "stop trying to skip the fucking struggle." Trust that whatever you're dealing with is there to teach you something, to shine a light on some part of yourself that you don't (want to) see. 🔦 For literally YEARS there's been a nagging part of me that felt like a fraud yoga teacher because I couldn't do Crow Pose. I would demonstrate the set-up in classes but could never actually hold the damn thing. And even when I practiced all by myself, with no one around to judge me falling on my face, I still skipped it. Because I didn't like that I wasn't good at it. I preferred to focus on the things that came easily to me. I was skipping the struggle. || You know how I actually got to be able to hold it for the 2 seconds you see in this video? I did the work. I got bruises and chaffing on my triceps and fell on my face A LOT. And you know what I learned from it? That if I think I can get away with it, I skip the stuff I'm not naturally good at off my yoga mat as well. And even now as I'm typing this, I'm seriously tempted to delete everything I just wrote and instead put up an inspirational quote with some emojis and let everyone think I didn't have to work my ass off for those 2 seconds. I'm still learning, over and over again... Landing the pose was never the point, facing my resistance to struggle was. 💥💥💥 #whybaptisteyoga #crowpose #bakasana #armbalance #practiceandalliscoming #workinprogress #perfectlyimperfect #authenticity #annabennettyoga (at Conquest Fitness)
