Are you beautiful?

I have been trying to attain this posture for a while.  I seems I do not understand the structure- structure is not the problem actually.  The issue is with whether or not I can imagine my body doing this and then recreating the posture.  This is a constant issue for me, reminding myself that everything is not is your head.  Behavior,  action, word, outward expression is about who you are. Don't think, just do it.  This is what I tell my students in yoga- the opposite of what I tell my students in the classroom.  I tell them:use your mind.  As a creative writer- frankly the mind gets in the way.  It is attached to doubt and fear.  We will go forward ( as a class) like when you see a ballet dancer, yogi, or skateboarder moving with their body beyond thought.  It is beautiful to think of how limitless we are,  and contained in our bodies we are- I like the opposites.  I love living the dream of these dualities; mind/body connection. 
Satie impromptu bodies and space.
