Being constricted, constrained, is not a good feeling, whether in body or mind. I function best with space - space to move, space to make choices, space to experience.
"Tension is the enemy of space," says yoga teacher Jenny Otto. Relax, make space, find space.
Relax your body, and it functions better. I've been playing around with this on my regular walking commutes. When I intentionally relax, feeling tension drain away, I walk faster without even trying to.
My quest in yoga practice is similar - relax, and body has more room to move. Less effort, better results.
