Downward dogging my way into a blog topic

So, now with my first post published, I am effectively a blogger. The next step--after of course doing some preliminary work on the color scheme--is picking a daily topic. With a whole world of topics to choose from, it seems fitting that I'd opt for one most near and dear: yoga. Just last night I went to my regular studio, Tranquil Space, for another challenging but calming flow yoga practice. I think that is what amazes me about yoga: it is physically and mentally demanding but peaceful at the same time. The subtlies of it are endless. Keeping your back a little straighter in downward dog, staying more balanced in tree pose, lifting both feet off the ground in crow for five long breaths. For a yoga jargon free analogy, to just reach down from a standing position and touch your toes with only a slight knee bend. But, at the same time, I hesitate to focus on these measures of yogic improvement, because yoga is more than just getting "better" at flexibility, balance, and strength. It's about acknowledging where you are with your physical, emotional, and spiritual self and being OK with that. Sure, everyone wants to get better at everything, but I think it takes more strength to be comfortable where you are in the here and now.
