The more yoga I do, the deeper I go, the more places of stored tightness I find.  It is like there is a bottomless pit of resistance.

When it comes time to relax and go to sleep these muscles flex subconsciously.

I will notice my neck and shoulders are rock hard.

It maybe my thoughts prior that urge them on, but I have to breathe and focus to get them to unfold and lay down.

It seems my 'natural' state is to be stiff and now I am working to relax and reprogram my body.

I look forward to day 146 of Bikram yoga and wonder how long it will take to be naturally relaxed.

Imagine having to work to become naturally relaxed!
