Remember those first few classes when you'd do everything possible to avoid looking at yourself in the mirror? You'd focus on the ceiling, the floor, other students—anywhere but that reflection staring back at you. You thought the mirror was there to judge your form or make you self-conscious about your appearance.
Jim Kallett reveals what you were actually avoiding: "The mirror removes the mask. You're seeing exactly who you are." This wasn't about vanity or perfect alignment—it was about the most profound self-study you'd ever undertaken.
"You're watching yourself put yourself into every physical position possible. You're seeing what you can and can't do, how far you can go, what hurts, what feels good, whether you're tensing up, where you feel control." But it goes deeper than the physical.
"You're seeing what emotions come up—frustration, anger, annoyance, joy, exhilaration. You're seeing what thoughts enter your head, where your mind goes." The mirror becomes a portal to your inner landscape, showing you patterns you never noticed.
Here's the beautiful transformation: "You're the most beautiful you can be while in a Yoga posture. Eventually you'll fall in love with yourself, realize how much power you have." This self-love isn't narcissism—it's the foundation for loving others.
"Once you love yourself, you'll be able to like yourself, and when you love and like yourself, you'll be able to love and like and take care of other people. It starts with you."
