A More Intimate Conversation

One of my favorite quotes I use frequently when I am teaching comes compliments of Rodney Yee. He used it in his book Yoga: The Poetry of the Body in his discussion on this pose. “There is no such thing as perfect alignment, but there is always a more intimate conversation you can have.” Think of this thought whenever you are in Tadasana. Can you have a more intimate conversation with your alignment in this pose? Of course make sure you are balanced from the right to left foot. Make sure your pelvis is where you want it to be and your head is aligned. Then begin to play with your feet and where you balance on your feet. Play with what you can do with the rest of your body to open your heart more. What about your organs? Play with your alignment and have a more intimate conversation.
