Often, in the rush and race to reach a certain place, we end up losing the real essence and the actual agenda for why we are here, which is why I am sharing this audio to help you rearrange your thoughts before you enter a yoga class next time.

Next time you enter the class and there's a new pose that has been introduced to you and you're trying and then you notice that so many people are able to just crack it and then you're going about it oh I'm gonna try I'm gonna get it and you're not able to. That's exactly when you start comparing yourself. You compare that oh why am I not able to get this and how come are these guys getting it. There's a simple thing understand everyone is in a very different place in their life. They must be doing that for really long time and they must have taken a couple of years to reach where they are and you're trying it for the first time. So the first thing that should come to your mind is actually the gratitude. Grateful for your body to attempt it. Grateful for your mind to be positive enough and open enough to be able to let you attempt it. This is going inwards and practicing for yourself. You are in that room for you and in that instant you're trying to compare yourself with everyone else in that room. They have not lived your life and vice versa. So next time you go into the class and you're trying to figure something out just be grateful for your body. Do not put your body down, Do not put your mind down by saying oh why am I not able to get this so I'm useless. No that's not the purpose of the practice. The practice is for you and you practice according to you.
