I see how beautiful yoga can be. I feel the freedom and softness of body in the yogi who surrenders to their practice. Conversely, I feel the hardness and tightness of the yogi who tries to exert control over their practice. There is a an enormous difference between the physical body of the yogi who is using yoga to change or improve some aspect of his life and the physical body of the yogi who has surrendered to his practice and allows yoga to reveal his inner, true self.
