Yoga: Keeping it silly

I promise this isn't going to become a yoga blog. Or a self-realization blog. Or a yuppie blog, where all we talk about is flaky salt, hot yoga class and my favorite piece of furniture made from reclaimed barn wood. It's not any of those things.

But, last night, my yoga instructor told us to "take your weaknesses into yourself and transform them with each movement into strength." Also, that "what you say is a weakness is only a misunderstanding." A is thrilled that I've decided my impatience is just a misunderstanding that I'm going to transform into a strength. And, you know, same thing with my aversion to folding laundry.

To be fair, we were in the midst of really challenging movements and poses when she said all of this, and it was very motivating and helpful. But, it's also kind of hilarious.
