  1. Hi Jake, we all have some poses we find challenging and it is tempting to avoid them, however, they are often the poses we need the most and can lead to the biggest breakthroughs in our practice. Keep going!

  2. Seated forward bends are by far the most challenging poses for me. This class feels like it is 10 hours long! But, I think if stopped avoiding these postures, I’d not find them so bad 🙂
