Some contemplations (only work with one during a particular practice):

  • Before you start your yoga practice, what is your expectation? At the end is it satisfied?
  • What pose do you anticipate the most? Is your anticipation positive or negative? What pose evokes the opposite reaction? Is it as strong?
