Let's not forget why Bilaam strode his donkey. He, more than Balak, wanted to curse the Jewish people. He was forewarned by G-d to desist, but Bilaam figured he can connive his way nevertheless. Our own oblivion or frustration at better progress may also share with this story, as you suggest Rabbi Blake. Could it be because we unconsciously know we're going against the grain of our better interests? I know that's the way it is with me, sometimes. Your Yoga exercise, on the other hand, is a struggle to achieve a better result. G-d bless you and yours.
