This yoga journey we are on, is one of constant calibration.
I know guys who work the strength thing to death.
They impress you with their jump backs, via handstand, lower to koundinyasana, but then they blow the whole thing when you see them hitting a hip (non) opener (in their case).
When you are beginning, you are bringing everything along (strength, flexibility, balance). Individual things don't matter.
But when you've been at it for a while, it's a big mistake to always practice into your strength (be it balance, flexibility or strength).
You should always be studying yourself and identifying your weakest area. Then purposely work into that area.
As far as your body is concerned, yoga is a team sport. Your body is only as good as the weakest link.
That being said, if everything is humming along within close tolerances, the sum of the whole will be greater than the sum of the parts. And you'll feel fan-freakin-tastic.
Stay true, J.
