On symmetry

My two sides are not equal; not even close. Scoliosis and muscle asymmetries mean that every warrior I do with my left leg forward is harder, my hips are less square, and I'm more wobbly. Standing poses are also frustrating, as my balance is way better on my right leg than my left. I've also discovered that if I get frustrated, it's best if I move on, and return later to push my body again to relax into the poses and the tightness that is more pronounced on one side than the other. Still, anatomy means that I often just have to let it go-with a sigh.
