I have always thought that balance; in the practice of yoga and in life, is a dance between extremes, which we must go through until we find equilibrium.

Not too far to the right and not too far to the left (Vertical column)
Neither too far up nor too far down (In the heart)
Not too far forward and not too far back (In the center, core of our body and mind)

But finally, a dance, because it is not static. To be in movement (even when it is imperceptible), to find that balance.

I hope you have found that island that is yourself and is your refuge. Very important, because being a refuge for ourselves allows us to eventually be a refuge for others (if necessary).

As Thich Nhat Hanh says:

Be your own island refuge, the rest of the world needs it.
