Standing Head to Knee

For 10 years standing head to knee posture has been my biggest yoga challenge.
I hate it!!! I hate thinking about it, because it's hard for me!
Most of the time (OK almost all the time) I know its coming next in the sequence so I decide to take a break and lay down. Pretty much playing possum. Why? Maybe because it's human nature to avoid things that are difficult.
Yesterdays yoga instructor Fred said "The things that are difficult are supposed to be hard to obtain! It makes you love it more when you own it" Hmmmmm....
Today I chose to Kick out in my least favorite posture. I didn't nail it, and it wasn't beautiful but I was proud. Proud of me trying.
