Peak Pose Argument: Good Or Bad
My first spiritual teacher preached the importance of paying attention to the journey, not the destination. Once I fully practiced being in the moment that same teacher said find a direction and go there, for there is no journey without a destination.
Many people feel that this idea of having a peak pose in yoga is bad because it promotes egoism. The posture isn’t the problem, nor is the persist of accessing it. It’s the mindset and belief that something should happen upon attainment of it, and further more the belief that “attainment” is a solid unchanging experience. Attainment is more like a step to an endless staircase - nothing happens when you step up except for a little more experience and strength...which is a good thing.
