Change is a part of life, and accepting that change is part of this practice. Change and transformation is how we grow - if we always stayed the same we'd be full of wasted potential. By changing with life we reveal our hidden strengths, our greatest potential. In this episode, we unlock our potential as we build up to vasiṣṭhāsana.
