“Find your edge” is the yogi’s mantra for pushing oneself to the boundaries of both body and mind. I use “boundaries” instead of “limits” because the latter word implies there is nothing beyond. By contrast, one’s “edge” is as far as one can go at the moment, but at the same time there is a glimpse of what lies beyond, the possibilities that could be. It’s similar to the Jesuit concept of magis (“more”), that spirit of aspiration and inspiration, which appeals to the Atenean in me. So whenever my yoga instructors exhort me to find my edge, I try as much as I can to give more, to bring my practice to another level, to reach for beyond, and to discover how much further I can go.
