Some tension is inherent to life itself - it's not that we are asked to be passive or spineless, but as you observe yourself on your mat and in your life, what do you notice about what you're "holding on" to? Is it possible to feel the places that need to be active, alert, responsive, and to sense those places contracting unnecessarily or holding habitual tension that is not actually serving you and allow them to ease?
Our quote this week is from Jim MCGregor: Letting go a little improves life. Letting go a lot brings happiness and joy.
