Experience rather than Performance

When we allow ourselves to step onto the mat to do an Asana practice, we will like to contain our awareness within our bodily experiences. Most practitioners bring their daily worldly experiences onto the mat when they have their supposedly "destressing" practice. They assess with their analytical minds, comparing themselves with others in the class, chat before and after the poses, pursue poses at the expense of moving beyond bodily capacity, etc, very much allowing their habitual behaviors to manifest on the mat, which is moving away from what the practice really intended to guide one into - to look at one's habits, both wholesome and unwholesome. Are we ready not to identify With ourselves and just be a yogi, simply listen to the instructions and allow ourselves to feel?
