me in my less-than-perfect dancer's pose

Yesterday during flow class our yoga teacher June shared a little bit on her own yoga journey, which struck a cord in me- She said her journey started off as a very physical practice, with her focus being chasing after asanas, or those yoga postures. You work hard, improve, then things become stagnant. Then somehow you find the will to push yourself harder, and you go further and improve again, then it plateau's off again... and repeat. It was only after a while that it became a spiritual practice for her.
