There aren’t many poses I dislike with the exception of Utkatasana. I can’t for the life of me figure out why I dislike it so much. But, knowing I dislike it, I do this each and every practice. Guess I’m hoping it will grown on me. It still hasn’t after more than 13+ years. Most poses (even if they are not my favorite or are more challenging for me) I can go deep within and enjoy. Utkatasana has never been enjoyable.
I went to several classes once with a teacher who was very scripted and did the same sequence, and I mean exactly, week after week. That class was not for me. I enjoy a more spontaneous practice and one that is more playful and explorative. While I love the flow of vinyassa, I do enjoy those quiet, introspective moments in Yin.
