On the mat, is your approach to your practice and your body fortifying? It's possible, dare I say not uncommon, for us to actually harm, hurt, let down, neglect or discourage (all antonyms of fortify) ourselves physically, spiritually or psychically on the mat. We have been well-trained to do so (no pain, no gain).

What would it be like to use the question, "Does this fortify me?" as you move through an asana (pose) practice? Let that inform the decisions you make.
