Non-Attachment
As we progress in our yoga practice, there are frustrations that occur along the path. After practicing for a period of time, we have the perception that we should not need the brick in Virasana or we should be able to get our heels on the floor in Adho Mukha Svanasana. Thus, we have attachment to a particular goal. We have become attached to the accomplishments of our practice.
Yoga is a path to follow. When we choose to become yoga practitioners, we need to look at the place of ego. It is our ego that causes us to have the need to put our heels on the floor or sit without the brick. Ego is the chief cause of attachment. If we let our ego guide us, we will never be satisfied or at peace. When we can simply note that today I will make my asana practice a place of meditation, the ego is set aside and we become non-attached to the outcome of the practice. To the extent that we can make each day’s practice a meditation, we become non-attached to the outcome of any particular asana.
By making each asana a meditation, we become attentive to the present and forget about our attachment to the future or the past. The practice of being in the present in asana practice creates a mindset that can help us be non-attached and peaceful in the other activities of our lives.
