The edge is the point in every pose when you are still within
your capabilities but are challenging yourself to go just a little bit deeper.
An edge is where we come right up against ourselves and what we can do and be, a
place of comfortable discomfort - opportunities of transformation. Playing the
edge can be a subtle shift – maybe holding a pose for a breath longer,
stretching a few degrees more, or even trying a modified version of a pose.
Sometimes your edge is learning to do less, to be more patient. Ultimately your
intuition knows what you need. We need to listen to our intuition and ignore our
ego. When you push the edge of your comfort zone you emerge from the experience
with a new level of awareness and confidence. As soon as we breakthrough one
edge a new one is created. The bar is ever raised. Here we see that yoga allows
for a continuous natural lifelong process of constant growth.
