People go to yoga classes to “tune up” their posture. They make a point of expressing it well, when a potential mate is passing by. Seeing one's self reflected in mirrors, provides passing reminders to stand tall and open wide. Many things bring momentary recognition and adjustment, but it takes diligence to constantly remind one's self to maintain good posture, all the time. Eventually, it becomes the default way to hold one's self, needing only periodic attention to make it “just so”.

People go to yoga class to “tune in” to the present moment. They make a point of being here when the occasion is very precious. Seeing one's self reflected in the organically unfolding world, provides passing reminders to open wide, right now. Many things bring momentary recognition and attunement, but it takes diligence to constantly remind one's self to linger in the present, all the time. Eventually, it becomes the default way to hold one's self, needing only periodic attention to make it “just so”.
