The basic problem is that "progress" tends to mean getting deeper into a pose--increasing "flexibility" by creating an increasingly dubious, if not actually dangerous, range of motion. When instructed to breathe and sink deeper into a pose, the first question to ask your instructor is "Why?" Is there a functional good beyond achieving the pose itself?
