Practice those postures you don't like

Backbends. Oh how I avoid practicing these like the plague.

They are challenging for me in every single way. Give me a handstand or an arm balance any day.

But that is exactly why it is essential to practice asanas you avoid. They are teachers.

What do they illuminate in you that you want to turn away from? The postures you run from offer far greater insight than the asanas you love practicing.
