The obstacles

What is stopping you?

Most of us know what we want to do, and somehow still struggle to do it consistently.

This is not a personal failing, and it is not new. The Yoga Sutras describe nine broad obstacles that come between a person and their practice. In everyday life, the same obstacle can show up in more than one way.

Which of these showed up today? The river shows what it carries.

Physical

Mental

Doubt

Progress

The app asks this whenever a practice is missed, and shows you which obstacle keeps returning.
