Honoring the Water

The water element in a yoga practice is what makes you break the rules. Water forces you to roll your neck and bend your knees when you're not supposed to, just because it feels yummy. Water is fluid and spontaneous. On the mat, water is what drowns alignment and generates an uncontained, liberating flow.

Water is the fuel of vinyasa, the creative force.

Honor the water by letting go of everything you think you know. Get on the mat and just flow. Forget the perfect pose; there's no such thing, anyway.
