I seem to need blocks for everything! Probably wouldn't if I went to yoga more often :) I'm re-taking an intro to yoga series workshop starting tonight - I want to be a better yogi!

At first it was a hit to my ego, but I've recently had to start using blocks under my hands during simple lunges. I have a labral tear in my hip, and it prevents me from sinking really deep into anything involving the hips. I can still lunge without the blocks, but I'm usually on the tips of my fingers, wobbling a bit; putting the blocks under my hands gives me that slight lift that makes the pose comfortable and enjoyable. I've finally accepted the fact that I'd much rather find pleasure in my yoga poses than suffer because of some stupid shame I have over two pieces of foam.
