Jared McCann of Lighthouse Yoga and Andrea Nicole Ortiz, USA National Yoga Asana champion 2015, demonstrate extreme skill and fun.

I keep hearing stories of extremely advanced yogis who went through extreme pain before they achieved what they’re able to do now. My own experience of SI joint scary pain did just what my teacher Ryan Gilly said it would, which was to take my practice to the next level. Injuries are your greatest teacher, he said. He’s right. It’s because it shows you clearly what does what in your body.

The same can be said for our minds. Your so-called failures are your greatest teachers. They give you insight that’s essential.

Envision it and watch it happen. What’s your dream? Dream it real.
