Ease rather than struggle

The practice does not advocate pushing oneself into the poses being offered by teachers. At all times during the learning and understanding of the poses, we should consciously feel and connect to the bodily sensations and with that heightened awareness, empower ourselves to put the right amount of effort and wait for the experience to come. Many practitioners may mistakenly end themselves up in pursuing a pose, from the impressions they had from magazine covers, teachers' demo, etc, and try putting themselves into the shape of the poses first before a step by step progress into the pose, ending one up in a struggle rather than ease. Too many a times, one may end up causing injury to oneself. Are we also handling our daily living experiences with awareness and ease, or pushy and struggle?
