The Body Believes What the Mind Tells It

Our minds are so powerful! You have more power than you are using. If you are working on a pose and you tell yourself "I can't", you're right! Your body will hold on to that theory with every muscle it has. Now...breath. Tell yourself "I can!" and celebrate every step you make toward your ultimate goal (Warrior 3 is a challenge!) Soon enough you'll find yourself holding plank without counting the minutes or gracefully lifting yourself into backbends and headstands. Have fun with your practice, believe in yourself and work with a supportive instructor.
