A yoga therapy client told me:

I no longer get headaches. My skull is still tight. Mostly I don’t notice this tightness.

I no longer get the mild dizziness while doing a pose. My neck and upper back are tight, but not as tight as when we first started.

My chest tightness is mild. Walking around Lokananda or out for a stroll with fellow yogis, I didn’t notice the tightness.

This is a trap!  You might be trapped into thinking that how you feel now is probably as good as it gets.

You feel underlying tensions, some aches, maybe areas of your body that trouble you. So you do some yoga, and you feel better after doing yoga.

Yet you cannot address those deep underlying tensions on your own. You settle into the trap of assuming “this is good enough.”

You only get one body in this lifetime. That tightness and underlying tension, whether noticed or not, will surface in your future. If unaddressed, it will become a condition that doctors will later give a name to. Some conditions are life threating.

Don’t slacken now!
