Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; for it becomes your destiny. -- Upanishads

Are you always wanting more? Wanting things to be different? Wanting to change whatever is happening? Are you never satisfied? "I CAN'T GET NO - SATISFACTION...HEY HEY HEY HEY." (Rolling Stones reference - insert Micks big mouth here.)
So - do you have contentment?
Is it possible?
The path of yoga involves being CONTENT (Santosa) with whatever is happening.
If things are going good - bad or average - You have contentment, and accept whatever is.
Can you do that in the yoga class?
Are you o.k. with stumbling in your balance poses?
Can you hold a challenging pose without wanting to BOLT?
You can practice BEING CONTENT anywhere, anytime.
So check in next yoga class -
Can you have contentment in Savasana - can you be content in Warrior?
Do you have contentment with what you see, hear, touch and percieve?
Are you content with the CON tent of your life?
Observe today on the mat and off.
Peace
Andrea
