Perfectly wise quotes.

If you don't find common ground with your body in time, it turns into a torture chamber. Yoga provides the opportunity for high-quality consensus with it.

You should not try to complete each complex from beginning to end at all costs; on the contrary, a beginner (or their instructor) should choose what is suitable for their age, health, and acceptable in terms of time. The quality of execution is more important than the number of asanas performed. You can start with the part of the complex that you didn't have time for today tomorrow.

So, what is form optimization? Every beginner, when starting yoga, focuses either on the image (photograph) of the asana or on the instructor demonstrating it. But the person in the picture or in front of you has their own body, not yours! And their physical (as well as mental) parameters (condition, capabilities) are not identical to yours, and vice versa! An adult, fully formed body has its own level of flexibility (including genetically), and as a rule, nine out of ten people cannot bend as much as young, hypermobile people who are shown on the Internet and in glossy magazines under the label "yogis."
But if I can't bend in the same way as the person in the photo or reproduce what the instructor is doing, does that mean that the asana is performed incorrectly? Not at all, the pose is an asana only if (and as long as) it is completely comfortable (unfelt), silences the mind, and is accompanied by it. How much the resulting form matches the picture or the instructor is irrelevant!

the body should not be damaged under any circumstances!
It is this moment – the complete implementation of non-violence in the practice of asanas – that distinguishes true yoga from any modern varieties called yoga acrobatics!

Diligence, however, can lead to overload, hence the rule: no matter what asanas were performed the day before, today there should be no new and unfamiliar sensations in the body, and there is no question of pain or discomfort.
