Liberté Chan Instagram – This might come as a surprise to you, but being able to do a handstand does not necessarily make you an advanced yogi.
Here’s the deal; a handstand is an advanced posture, but it doesn’t necessarily make you an advanced yogi.
An advanced yogi can breathe through uncomfortable postures and situations on and off the mat.
They can use their breath to calm their nervous system.
An advanced yogi tunes into who they really are and continuously refines their inner being with deliberate and conscious effort.
Just like an alchemist turns metal into gold, the physical practice of yoga creates heat – known as tapas — that burns away negative patterns, refining your thinking and behavior so those golden nuggets of your character can shine through.
So if you take some time to sit and breath mindfully and be a witness to your thoughts…you, my friend, are an advanced yogi without ever standing on your hands.
