Every posture has three phases.
First, find your alignment. Build a shape that supports your body instead of fighting it.
Second, return to your breath. The breath is what keeps you present. When attention drifts, the mind follows. Come back to the breath, and you come back to the moment.
Then comes the part that many people rush past.
Phase three, Let go.
Not by giving up, but by releasing the urge to force an outcome. Your body already knows how to regulate, adapt, and restore itself. The nervous system is always working toward balance. Sometimes the most important thing we can do is stop getting in the way.
Practice the pose. Breathe. Then allow the practice to do its work.
