Predictable Obstacles

I like routine. The predictability feels comforting. When I learned about the nine predictable obstacles that we will come up against over and over in our life journey, I felt relieved.

Relieved to know these are common experiences that arise in life.

Now, when I sense one or more of these obstacles are present, I know how to adjust my yoga practice.

What are the obstacles?

Illness

Dullness

Doubt

Negligence

Laziness

Cravings

Misperceptions

Failure

Instability

Because they do not like to be alone, the obstacles have companions known as;

Mental and physical pain

Sadness and frustration

Unsteadiness of the body

Irregular Breath

Whether we are experiencing one or many of the obstacles or companions, a skilled yoga practice can address these issues in the body and mind.

Yoga therapy offers a personalized practice to bring the body and mind back into balance.

With Kindness and Love-
