Before the start of yoga asana practice, it's normal that our mind feels
reluctant to move the physical body. We will give ourselves 'reasonable'
excuses to escape a two hours of daily yoga asana practice.
The point is, even before we bring the body to perform daily yoga asana practice, to overcome that 'laziness' or 'struggle' is our real yoga practice.
To develop strong self-discipline in anything that we want to pursue is indeed our yoga practice. It's not so much about how good we are in what we are doing. But to keep up the discipline is where the practice is.
It is only the first 15 minutes of physical movements that we feel 'struggle'. After 15 minutes or so, it will turn into 'enjoyable' and 'energizing' that you don't want to be disturbed until you finish your daily two hours routine.
That's why I encourage anyone to do some yoga asana practice even just for 15 minutes (It's a trick, but it works). Because that is what you need to get your body going. You will no longer need someone to 'push' you to 'finish' your daily 2 hours routine. As the energy fields in your body will tell you, "Yes! Keep going... 15 minutes is not enough."
Om shanti.
