That sounds like a problem I need to get! ;) Actually, I do understand. Everything needs to happen in moderation.... D. Hi Jessica,

With the move I’ve been under-yoga’d and under-exercised and over-anxious….so, I’ve been meaning to ask what’s the problem with being addicted to regular practice? That sounds like a problem I need to get! ;)

Actually, I do understand. Everything needs to happen in moderation….

I've been trying to master the move of swing-legs-through-to-seated-from-down-dog for oh, years now. Time to admit my legs are just not short enough to make it without smacking the floor :-) Rushing as well as getting addicted to the sequence itself are a couple other things I struggle with with Ashtanga. For awhile I've been dealing with the first by emphasizing the attention I pay to the moments in between moves. It really works at bringing my mind back and opening the practice in general to slowness and less scripting. The addicted to regular practice thing is much harder; so far all that works consistently is tiring myself out enough during the day that I can finally give in and be lazy. The noting of your massage therapist is some very good press for rope yoga... As much as I love ashtanga, I have to agree!
