Just one more thing about the details to Tadasana -- and, for me, all the poses. We want to focus on good alignment so as not to harms ourselves (such a knees not going past toes in Warrior etc.) but if our "shin skin" doesn't lift, will that really affect the benefit of the pose, -- or more importantly, our life, happiness, advancement, etc.?
One of the many benefits of Yoga is relieving tension and stress -- when we try too hard in a pose, or become frustrated because we can do some little things, or reach some hypothetical goal, we are creating stress rather than relieving it -- IMHO
Namaste,

I do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the men of old; I seek what they sought.

One I'm glad you mentioned as I tend to lose sight of such things when trying to do something new. I over-focus on doing it right *technically* instead of using my own intuition to assess what's right for me *personally*. So, such reminders are things that I need quite often.
Thank-you,
Greg
