Ever attend a yoga class and wonder how other people got to be so bendy? Of course you are not supposed to look around in yoga class; you should stay centered and present in your own practice. But sometimes it’s hard to resist, especially when someone busts a yoga move you’ve been trying to get for weeks.
Aparigraha is the concept of non-possessiveness, non-grasping. It is the last of the five Yamas spelled out by Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras. The Yamas and Niyamas are like the Ten Commandments of yoga. Jonesing for someone else’s flexibility is straight up Aparigraha. It’s also a pretty natural tendency, even for yogis.
With help from the Yoga Wall, you’ll gain access to postures you never knew you could do, which can  help you kick the yoga-pose-Aparigraha habit!
Sri K. Pattabhi Jois always said that “Yoga is 99{2bd103ee3922297dd26721aa2b4723f52b7c1e46e10078a5bb1f7638d0cbcf8c} practice and 1{2bd103ee3922297dd26721aa2b4723f52b7c1e46e10078a5bb1f7638d0cbcf8c} theory.” He also said “Do your practice and all is coming.” The Yoga Wall is a great way to get your 99{2bd103ee3922297dd26721aa2b4723f52b7c1e46e10078a5bb1f7638d0cbcf8c} done. And it’s really fun!
