I guess it hard’s to let go of the idea of what the posture is “supposed” to look like… both as a beginner and after practicing for years. I know I still have to remind myself daily to honour my body as it is, while finding an edge to play with…

I always teach new Intro students down dog with bent knees at first, though suggest to straighten them if they can still find comfort and the length in their spine. Most don't heed the call to patience and awareness of what their body may/may not be ready for, but I still like to offer the option. In DD and in most postures, finding the comfort and the breath is what it's all about for me. I love what you’re saying here.

Duh, really obvious, but I was really good at comparing and falling short. Now I wiggle and micro-move as much as I need! Thankyou.You have helped me be.
