Love your irritations in Yoga and Life?

In Yoga:
As we know Yoga is not just a physical science it has a psychological part also. Irritations we have it in daily life and also at yoga classes. It can be that any particular Asana or Pranayama or any other technique irritates us. Many teachers also have irritations to a particular pose, like I used to get irritated with eagle pose(Garuda asana). For many years I try to escape this pose and I was not able to open my planters and knees well. But later in MBA I heard a speaker talking on irritations and ask to love them. I started with it during my studies in few months I started loving this pose. In ashtanga style people use to escape of Viniyasa's.

Let understand what causes irritation? Irritation is caused of two reasons when the person is not interested and forced to do it. And the second reason is ego, when ego doesnt want to accept of chance of failure or uncomfort. If you are on the yoga mat the first cant be the reason surely.

So yoga is all about dropping the ego at right point and to get rid of fear, yoga has no excuses it is just victory of Mind over matter as Mr Colin Hall said , my first boss in Ananda Spa.

In Life:
Colin is a unique man of interesting character, I thought he never read any book on yoga ever but his lifestyle is showing many hidden wisdoms of yoga. I learned the concept to love your irritations as they are actually giant oppurtunities. He always aksed us to do things that irritates us in begining and later we fall in love with doing that. I remember in that Hotel there was general set up of mats and orange shawls in a small colloseum. I hate that work in begining but when he pushed then after few days my creativity revealed more and it become interesting.

I learnt the issues that makes us angry are our biggest gift and we should be grateful to them. Love them. These circumstances start making us from ordinary to extraordinary. They actually reveal your limiting believes, fears and false concepts.

Even Carl Jung said that whatever irritates us about others can help us to understand ourselves better.

I think in my last 6 years of life experience in 4 countries with many nationality I met very few Colin's who take responsibilty rather than blaming themselves for their irritations.

So stop blaming your muscles, Knees, back, injuries, and many more.......just get in irritations and things will be achieve easily in yoga and in life.....
