Awareness

While in Prasarita Padottasana, I feel relaxed and calm. This pose is not a high strength or very strenuous pose. Since the stretching is mild, my mind is able to think about my "form" and not about pain, or how much longer I must hold it. I am aware of the stretch in my hamstrings, and below my gluteus maximus. I am also aware of the feeling in my back. Am relieving the tension that i gather throughout the day? or am i gaining more? After i make sure my feet are parallel with each other, and my head and back are in proper form, i can relax and deactivate my thoughts.
