Long-term relationship with yoga

I have recently had one or two really terrible yoga practices. Mostly related to practicing the same things too often AND pushing myself too hard. Who would ever guess I'm a perfectionist?

Anyway, after one particularly humbling class where my hips cramped up after 20 minutes and I then cried for the rest of the class (I'm certain it was one of my finer moments), I had a bit of a revelation once I recovered from my embarrassment.

Here it is, in a nutshell: "Yoga is a long-term relationship, and just like in any committed relationship, sometimes you're going to have really bad days."

Can't believe it took me five years to realize that!
