Wisdom and Discernment

In yogic philosophy, the term "viveka" means wisdom and discernment. Each time we make wise, supportive choices about our physical yoga practice (I'm consistently the student inadvertently falling asleep in child's pose in a vigorous noon class!) we practice using discernment. Discernment is the process of asking,"What choice can I make that leads me toward greater health, wellness and joy? What choice can I make that intends me toward wisdom and ahimsa?" This concept is very important to me and I'd love to hear how you interpret it in your yoga practice.
